A federal judge in Illinois has tossed out a Chicago-area atheist's quest to force the return of a state grant given to restoration efforts of a southern Illinois cross landmark, according to the CNS News website.
US District Court Judge Michael McCuskey -- central Illinois' chief federal jurist -- threw out Rob Sherman's lawsuit on February 8, 2011.
McCuskey accepted the recommendation of US Magistrate David Bernthal, who last week refused to reconsider his decision to reject Sherman's lawsuit over the $20,000 grant to the 11-story tall Bald Knob Cross of Peace.
Bernthal ruled the state's economic-development agency has discretion in how it doles out its money.
