Putting "a political likeness" on the banners "is simply not consistent" with city policy or the organization's temporary sign permit, Stocks said, adding that it would be the same if the pictures were of former President George Bush or former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Mayor Stocks' odd analolgy drew this response.

No, this is NOT anything like putting up a banner with Bush or Arnold. They are not dead and did not serve over a decade on our council, was two time mayor, received the most votes when she ran for council and died in office. This is only citizens honoring the dedication of a fallen comrade.
If the situation were reversed, how would Stocks feel if he knew that some politician would fight to stop the community from honoring him.
Horrible, dishonorable form, Mr. Mayor.
