Truck Owner Says Town Is Discriminating Against His Religious Speech

By Howard Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
WWNYTV News on Tuesday reported that a contractor in Gouverneur, New York is challenging a citation he received for violating the town's billboard ordinance (full text , see Sec. 17.N.). Dan Burritt has parked a large semi-trailer on his property and put up religious messages on both sides of it. The town says this is in reality a billboard that requires a permit. Burritt's lawyers, however, say that the town is singling out religious speech because another semi-trailer with a drug company logo on it is parked beside a town road and no citation has been issued claiming that it violates the billboard law. The WWNYTV story includes photos of the two trucks. [Thanks to Alliance Alert for the lead.]
