Ritze Wants Ten Commandments Monument

Rep. Mike Ritze, R-Broken Arrow, has filed a bill that would allow the construction of a monument of the Ten Commandments on the Capitol grounds.

Ritze has filed House Bill 1330, the "Ten Commandments Monument Display Act."

It calls for private funds to be used to pay for the display and directs the Secretary of State's office to help private entities in picking a location for the monument.

"The placement of this monument shall not be construed to mean that the State of Oklahoma favors any particular religion or denomination thereof over others," the proposal states.
