after an anonymous complaint the city of Eugene sent out letters to several businesses in the Eugene area requesting that they either get a permit for their anti-EmX signs or take them down.
However, Brian Michaels, a local attorney says that the sign code needs to be researched.
"it's a very cautious journey for the city to enter into when it tries to stop speech. Particularly when the speech happens to the contrary to what the city is proposing to do." Michaels said
one of the businesses who were targeted by the city says that the city is definitely out of line and that his sign isn't going anywhere.
personally, I think that the city is playing with a hot potato because people over the last couple years are getting pretty fed up with the games that the city of Eugene has been playing.
Recall what happened when the voters rejected the public safety tax initiative and the commissioners went ahead with it anyways?
