(Fox News) – After much controversy, the Bakersfield, Calif., City Council on Wednesday approved a proposal to add “In God We Trust” decals to both police and fire vehicles. “I love the motto,” said Councilmember Jacquie Sullivan, according to The Bakersfield Californian. “It’s meaningful. It’s powerful. Those words are intended to encourage.” Sullivan’s non-profit organization, In God We Trust America, has offered to
pay for the decals. U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who represents Bakersfield, had said he fully supported the decals. “Displaying ‘In God We Trust’ — the official motto of the United States — on Bakersfield Police Department cars is a testament to each officer’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and defending the City of Bakersfield and its residents,” he said in a statement to The Californian.
