Departments Letters to the Editor/ Free Press Forum Free speech by A concerned Citizen of Kent, Ohio August 13, 2007 Dear All, As a resident of Kent and citizen of Ohio I find this whole incident troubling. A ticket for advertising on public property? How many tickets have been issued for people advertising yard/garage sales? signs posted for the monthly PWP Dance? signs for the Car Show? The Kent Harvest Festival? Art in the Park? Just today I "witnessed" two grown males (yes, it took two of them- one to pound the stake and the other to attach the sign) place a sign at the corner of Stow and West Main Street that says "Car Show". Of course, they parked their vehicle at Logo's Bookstore so I was unable to get a license plate and contact the police to arrest these criminals. I feel bad for the city of Kent that these two men are at large, possibly posting more signs elsewhere. I hope that I am not viewed as an accomplice to the crime since I merely witnessed it. In any event, I wanted to bring it to someones attention. Seriously though, I am appalled at the treatment Kevin Egler is receiving for posting his sign. The prosecutor is dismissing the advertising on public property charge just to refile a more serious charge of littering? This is ridiculous! What a waste of taxpayers money! Leave the man alone already! Since they claim that the sign was posted on property owned by the State of Ohio, I think the residents of the state of Ohio should be asked to decide if we should just drop all this. There was no crime committed. I, for one, say drop it now! Well, I've said my two cents. I hope this political bull ends soon. Sincerely, A concerned Citizen of Kent, Ohio Email this article to a friend |
