  • Lynn Greenky, an emeritus professor at Syracuse University, agrees that Reed v. Town of Gilbert probably protects the Holders' message. She was trained as a lawyer and wrote the book When Freedom Speaks: The Boundaries and the Boundlessness of our First Amendment Right. She says, "Any attempt to limit the expression of the Holders' political speech by the Winnebago County building and zoning department is unconstitutional unless the zoning department can provide evidence that it has a compelling interest within its governmental powers to restrict the speech and the means it uses to assert that power is narrowly tailored to achieve that purpose." @https://roscoenews.com/g/roscoe-il/n/269008/roscoe-resident-allowed-keep-large-political-paver-message-yard
