..Modest Miles Ministries claims in emails to the City that the funds will be used for transportation to and from the convention, making the funding purposes “secular.” That would mean, according to Modest Miles Ministries’ funding application, about 25% of the entire budget of the convention—$65,000—is being spent on shuttles to and from the convention.
The $65,000 grant for the Baptist Convention was the second largest grant that the City gave in 2016. This was the fourth time the City has approved funding the National Baptist Convention: in 1998, the City approved $100,000 (about 32% of the convention’s total budget); in 2003, the City approved $142,000 (about 42% of the convention’s total budget); and in 2010, the City approved $77,585 (about 27% of the convention’s total budget)...

Excellent! Glad to see this.
They'd lose their minds if the city was paying to transport Muslims to a Muslim event.
And you'd think that any amount of public money going to an organization with the name: "Modest Miles Ministries, Inc." would raise red flags, no matter the stated purpose.
