'In God We Trust' decals to be placed on local police, fire vehicles

Although the issue proved to be divisive, the Bakersfield City Council voted to approve adding “In God We Trust” decals to city police and fire vehicles at a meeting Wednesday evening.

“I love the motto,” said Councilmember Jacquie Sullivan, who requested the council vote on the issue at the last City Council meeting. “It’s meaningful. It’s powerful. Those words are intended to encourage.”
