Lisa Royce says she cannot express her political views with just two yard signs
“There is tons of proposals out there tons of people running for all different kinds of stuff not just the presidential. This limitation has to stop.”
In 2017 Ferrysburg adopted a two yard sign limit, councilman Jerry Sias says it wasn’t to suppress political speech.

“You have to pick one or two races and say that’s all I’m allowed to speak about and there are many many candidates people want to support the upshot is that is unconstitutional.”
After brief discussion, City council passed member Jake Stearley’s proposal to pause enforcement of the two-yard sign limit
“Pausing the ordinance for now and then revisit it after the election.”
“We can have different positions politically, but these are special rights.”
