Howard reports on a 3rd circuit case upholding criminal charges against Bradford Pa homeowners, for displaying signs. Pdf.
“How unethical is Mayor
Henry?”, “Can CEO Corignani work an honest 8 hours?”, “Stop
the City Hall Puppet Show, Mayor Henry”, and “Fire Chief
Wild Bill McCormack, Resign!”. Pysher, on the other hand,
was cited for a commercial sign advertising his realty business.
The suit did result in the ordinances being amended, how we don't know.
OK, Now,
“noncommercial” and “temporary” (those displayed less than
sixty days) signs smaller than twelve square feet are allowed
without a permit. All non-temporary commercial signs, regardless of
size, must have a permit.Plaintiffs failed to rely on their rights under the state constitution.
Each violation of Chapter 178 is punishable by a fine not
exceeding $300 and a prison sentence not exceeding ninety
days. Each day the sign is displayed constitutes a separate
violation. Id. § 178-34. I'm not sure this case was correctly decided, but it's unlikely the Supreme Court will review if asked.
