“Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar?s, and unto God the things that are God?s.” ? Jesus People who know a lot more about the Bible and ancient history than I do disagree about what, exactly, Jesus meant by this. But I don?t think I?m too far off in assuming he saw a distinction between the secular and nonsecular worlds and believed people should behave accordingly. As applied to Gov. Scott Walker?s veto of a provision in the state budget that would have forced Madison?s Pres House Apartments to pay taxes, I think Caesar might be owed some money. Pres House is the attractive 51-unit student housing development opened near Library Mall in 2007 and owned by the Presbyterian student center at UW-Madison.
