Just to clear things up.....I really admire the Christmas lights display the Lions puts on every year. They are lovely. Who wouldn't like them?
The problem is, the city allows some, but not others, to display and share their message with the community. Frankly, this just isn't right. I want everyone to be able to be accommodated, not just the Lions.
I am mad that the city would rather destroy all speech, than allow speech they don't like....namely mine.
Limits could be fairly established - limit displays to certain parks, have a short application period, do it first-come-first-served or better yet, put all applications in a hat and draw. With an outside agency doing the drawing. Say there can be 20 displays in parks, no more.
Clearly the decision by City Attorney Toni Wetzel, advising a ban on ALL future seasonal displays, was based on the request of one single citizen..... ME.
I wonder how many more seasonal displays the city has received so far?

Bet NONE.
Who's the Grinch now? Your city, that's who.
I don't blame anyone for being upset. But the majority of residents are upset at the wrong source. The city attorney should be called on the mat for this.
