Tell me this, HOW does limiting the size of the sign and the wattage "impinge" on someone's freedom of speech?

And about the smoking comment - take your comments to the appropriate thread and debate them there, if you wish to go to task with me and the others who disagree with your logic there. I was kinder to you about your comment there than others were or could be and respectfully disagreed with you. The sign won't endanger anyone's health either - but could just be a blemish to the landscape. Big difference - if you think about it. Please tell me you're not really placing those on the same level? C'mon...

You're right, it doesn't.

As far back as 1926 the courts have upheld zoning as a constitutional excercise of government's so called "police powers".

Anyway, the first real case that substantiated modern zoning regulations, including the eventual right to regulate signage, can be found in Euclid v. Amber Realty (272 US 365, 1926).

Methinks someone is honing their skills as a troll.....

I think the answer to your question PBR has less to do with wards and more to do with not getting caught yet. Then again, Laconia tends to forget about us until tax season...

Seems to me there are bigger fish for government to fry then this.
