Planning Board says no to rewording the sign ordinance

At the Commission Discussion meeting last night, the Planning Board let the Commissioners know that they were not supporting their decision of changing the wording of the sign ordinance for the Save Our School signs that are "all over the neighborhoods." By changing the ordinance, it would be inviting and encouraging more signs and hate speech.  It was explained that while everyone is in favor of free speech, no one wants to limit free speech.  The harm that would be done by that exercise could outweigh the right.  It would be like yelling fire in a crowded theater, when there is no fire.  It would cause injury.  Another example given was, "My religion is right and your religion is wrong." Listen to the podcast at Commission discussion, part 1 on 3/28/11.  The Planning Board saw no reason to change the ordinance for the SOS signs.  Thank you, Planning Board, for taking a stand.
What a waste of everyone's time.  The groundbreaking ceremony is April 28.
