I don't know, leave it up to the people who do?

I don't think that advertising for ones business is covered under the free speech amendment. There are sign laws everywhere, and if sign laws were a violation we would have seen it in the supreme court by now.

They're not at risk and they can completely alter the wording however they want. But that's the process, rewrite the law if you want it changed

What?!? How did me make the jump from small town new hampshire sign bylaws to lynching black people laws?!?

I think it's hard to call it unconstitutional. And if they are on the books and everyone agrees they are unconstitutional and/or shouldn't be enforced then they should be removed. Otherwise what is the point of laws and rules at all?

The government is never more of the people by the people and for the people than in a small town. They can easily ratify and change the wording of the law if they care. This is a really simple one. As it's written it's outside the rules. What's the point of rules if we make acceptions because we like one thing more than another? Change the rule.

The citizens are the government and are the officials. If they want to change it they can. A business sign isn't exactly protected under the first amendment, unless you really really loved the citizens united Supreme Court ruling and want corporations to be further unfettered.

Then be a community and change the fucking laws. It's a small town, who do you think made the law trump or biden? FFS, the people who live there made it and can unmake it. For now the law stands. They can change it if they want

It could be anyone with a grievance, don't make assumptions as to why. Could be a poor transient vegan hippy living in their 1964 vw bus and doesn't like the fact they use eggs. See? We both have no idea on the source and motive..... Anyhow the key here is if people are outraged over this they should petition their local government to reassess the law and tweak it. That's how it's meant to work.

Exactly. The ordinance can be tweaked to allow it and keep giant billboards at bay, but as it's written you're right. Everyone here is flipping out about it being unjust, but it is in violation and the town can't just ignore it now. They should look at the laws they have on the books and see how they want to adjust it.

If this was a business people didn't like, they'd be slamming the business rather than the town ordinance. It's weird.

As i understand it, the town statutes essentially put him in violation. It was ignored until someone made a complaint, most likely, but now the town is forced to act on their bylaws. It's how it's written and it's stupid and the rules should be changed, but for now it is what it is.

Tell him to stay the course

I'll allow it....

I don't understand the influx of the word "y'all" up here recently

Oh look a new tree! I cut it down but now what do I do about the stump?

Might as well blame the gun manufacturer and Santa Clause at this point.

You're a loon. Sorry but your savings in income tax are likely negligible vs whatever you think you're doing with setting up an independent off grid but still fully functional home... and there is no quick way to new jersey from here anywhere

If you want to make the trip to NJ easy probs should live in NJ

Then go fucking plow, I'll appreciate it.

No I didn't. I was just inferring that OP likely considered one of them cunts. And here you continue my point. Which is fine I hold nothing against you

Lol dude I didn't even put my opinion in here of either of them, just that the take on "being from maine" as a qualifier is bullshit. And your comment kinda proves my point I was making to OP.

You're a bit of a walking contradiction aren't you

Yeah he's a cunt but why does his birthplace matter? Plenty of cunts born in Maine. Paul LePage and Janet Mills were both born in Maine. You likely hate one of those kittens based on your hardline take.

I agree tho I've never heard of them with cream cheese. I don't really care for much of any sweets but I'm mildly intrigued now
