They have bent over backwards to accomodate the Mt. Diablo peace group but have ended up endorsing their brand of speech, which is by law, illegal. The MOU which was entered into in secret is invalid and illegal, because it invalidates future police power, and the City knows this. Unfortuately, the real losers here are the citizens of Lafayette and the military whom this ‘memorial’ is suppossed to honor.They had no say in this fiasco.

I think the City has handled it well, finding a convenient loophole to grandfather the crosses, while avoiding a prolonged, backed-by-outsiders lawsuit that would have bankrupted the City if they had ordered them taken down. And Heaton has been more than accomodating, taking down the ugly neon sign he had up for a few days and keeping the site mowed. So get over it, everybody, the crosses are here to stay.

Time to remove them. They create a driving hazard.
