The trees are back

From the Associated Press:
The Christmas trees are back up at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Maintenance staff worked overnight to restore the trees that had been removed after a rabbi’s threat to sue over the lack of a menorah in the airport’s holiday decor.
The rabbi, Elazar Bogomilsky, “never asked us to remove the trees; it was the port’s decision based on what we knew at the time,” Patricia Davis, president of the Port of Seattle commission, said in a statement late Monday.
However, port officials learned on Monday that Bogomilsky’s organization would not file a lawsuit over this year’s display, Davis said.
“A key element in moving forward will be to work with the rabbi and other members of the community to develop a plan for next year’s holiday decorations at the airport,” the port statement said.
