Actually, General Manager Don Sigglekow at the June 1 meeting did quote a
PB ordinance that says that candidates need to get a table but can not just
wonder through the park handing out literature and campaigning. I have
even reviewed the tape and this is what I heard.
There are two things going on here - campaigning in the parks and Free Speech.
Quite a mess we have going on wouldn't one say.
But why 3 police cars is my question - was there a riot about to ensue? I
wish I could get 3 police cars to some of the parks like East Phillips to
deal with the drug dealing and sometimes uncontrolled behaviors flagrant on
our public basketball courts. Oh, another mixing of apples and oranges.

No one ever said people couldn't campaign in the parks. Of course people
can campaign and pass out literature for whatever they want in the parks.
People do it all the time. Parks are great places to campaign and exercise
freedom of speech.
Jason was blocking the door and it violated some rule about egress. That's
all.
This forum is like a lynch mob.
My great grandmother always said "No matter how thin the paper, there's
always two sides." I truly don't think in this case we are fighting evil.
