On January 5, 2003 the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that "Walker Township Ordinance 167 addresses where people can keep horses. It doesn't address religious freedom. It makes no mention of culture clashes. And it certainly doesn't touch on claims that this rural township is practicing bias, supposedly trying to shoo frugal local Amish residents from villages that are growing more upscale as the population spills outward from the State College area and its economic dynamo, Penn State University. Those issues, though, will be the heart of the argument this week when a pair of Amish men go before a Centre County district justice, challenging recently issued zoning citations that say that the horses that pull their buggies can't be kept in their backyard stables."
