NJ town proposes flag ban


NEW JERSEY (MYFOXNY.COM) -





The Hudson County town of West New York is considering a
widespread sign regulation that could include banning American flags
from being flown.
The Board of Commissioners have a draft ordinance for "General Sign Regulations".

Among the prohibited signs under the proposal would be "Flags, banners and pennants."

This has opponents upset.

"What if I want to hang the American Flag? I can't," Frank Ferriero told politickerNJ. "Man, that's un-American."

The proposed ordinance was first read at a meeting on Wednesday. The
final vote on the proposal will be held on Feb. 20 at a 7 p.m. meeting
at the municipal building.

The ordinance would also ban signs affixed to the exterior of a
window or glass, neon signs framing windows, and window and door signs
that exceed 15% of the glass area.
