Ridgewood Nj, the Hudson County town of West New York is considering a widespread sign regulation that would include banning American flags from being flown.West New York sits next to Union City with is US Senator Bob Menendez’s home town.
The West New York Board of Commissioners have a draft ordinance for “General Sign Regulations”. Among the prohibited signs under the proposal would be “Flags, banners and pennants.”
The proposed ordinance was first read at a West New York Council meeting on Wednesday with the final vote on the proposal to be held on Feb. 20 at a 7 p.m..Proponents say 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.
Maybe they should ban signs in Spanish.
Who is the idiot that is trying to have this Nonsense Law.?
All those towns (where I grew up) were the melting pot of early immigrant residents.
As former Mayor Hague used to say, “don’t mess with these towns”…!!!
PS: One story memory included the assination of a Judge (that protected those early residents) and was a school teacher in Union City.
Oh yeah… Union City, the home of Burlesque, Basketball, two High Schools, Zaccaro Italian Social Clubs and the Jersey Journal.
Suggest visiting the area again and get a lesson in American pride.
I was going to say piece of shit but idiot is about right
typical NJ politicians
