And, speaking of our district's representative on City Council, those of you
who haven't been distracted by news of her recent alliance with Tom Knox may
have spotted the following tidbit in today's Inquirer, at the end of an article
about recent Council doings:
"...[B]y a 16-1 vote, with Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell the sole dissenter,
Council passed a bill requiring district Council candidates to have lived in
their districts for at least one year before they could be elected to represent
the district. Because the bill requires a charter change, voters would have to
first approve it during the November election."

Subject: RE: [UC] important question about free speech rally
In any event I'm happy to report that it is now LEGAL to post bills to
utility poles -- Our city councilwoman has valiantly un-destroyed Glenn's right
to free speech -- like a Phoenix from the ashes -- Al (I believe) posted the
exact statute. So we may all join UCD now in celebrating the free
grassroots-friendly advertising spaces and UCD can get back to emptying the
community trash cans and sweeping up litter along Locust. Glenn will no doubt
let us know when he's found a new windmill.

Your point isn't sound, Glenn. To claim that UCD is against free speech
because they tear down illegal posters is akin to claiming that the
state of Pennsylvania is trying to destroy the right to drive a car
because they refuse to register cars that don't pass inspection. To see
the attempt to stifle civil rights in UCD's actions is tinfoil helmet
paranoia.
