EW appropriately celebrated the Wayne Lyman Morse federal courthouse in EW’s Design Issue (3/8). Troubling to me was Bob Keefer’s stating that District Judge Michael Hogan is, or was, “an evangelical Christian spearheading the project …”
I have spent many hours inside the wonderful courthouse litigating federal matters. There is nothing on or in the courthouse that could be interpreted by anyone as homage to any religion.
Thus, it appears to me that Keefer’s comment about Judge Hogan’s religious beliefs was gratuitous and inappropriate.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
