"Lack of Grace" Raspberry

North County Times

"A rotten raspberry to the city of Encinitas for its ham-fisted ---- and possibly illegal ---- move to ban art banners honoring the late Maggie Houlihan. Ian Thompson, Houlihan's widower, is rightly outraged that the councilwoman's image is prohibited from being displayed as a "political likeness." What political message? Is Mayor Jerome Stocks seriously concerned that Houlihan is going to run against him in the next election? The explanations are as confusing as the ban. The city should do the right thing and overturn this ill-advised rule.
