“The error seems not sufficiently eradicated, that the operations of the mind, as well as the acts of the body, are subject to the coercion of the laws. But our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God. The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.” –Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query XVII, 1781

“Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution.” –James Madison, Federalist No. 39, 1788

Brother Andrew Kosmowski had previously sent along word of a proposed merger of two Western New York Councils.

Iroquois Trail and Greater Niagara Frontier Councils Merger?

He recently sent along another link which implies the merger is a done deal, all though it is not clearly stated.

Clicking on the image will bring you to the full article.

I’ve not seen any confirmation that any votes have been held by either council.

Nothing on how the lodge merger might be handled, but policy would indicate there would be only one 2024 Lodge charter i9ssued by National if the Concil merger is completed.
