No Mural in Oregon

[George K]

tl;dr : Guy has a mural on the side of his business depicting the Iwo Jima flag raising. City Council (Salem) says, "take it down."

You can find the ordinance in the comments on FB.

I doubt they have even removed the graffiti from the riots yet. And they have time for this?

What i don't get is that it's private property. The ordinance specifies "public art" and murals in public spaces. This is not public and I'd think they'd have no jurisdiction.

They're going to have a fun week defending this.

By the way, they say it must be "removed." How do you do that with a mural? You can't paint it over in January either.

The fine per day is abusive. Local government is going to get pilloried for this. Helps you understand why rural Oregon would like to be part of Idaho.

Obviously a republican dirty trick to make the dems look like idiots

They don't need dirty tricks.

They don't need any kind of tricks for the woke.

Someone on FB is trying to get the media involved.
