Seattle Mayor Prohibits City Employees From Traveling to Indiana
The mayor of Seattle today prohibited municipal employees from traveling to Indiana on city funds, as the backlash spread against the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray's decision comes in response to the law signed Thursday by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence that allows businesses to refuse service to gays and lesbians for religious reasons.
Murray said Indiana's new law "doesn't reflect the values" of Seattle.
