HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A federal appeals court panel says a small Pennsylvania town’s ordinance designed to cut down on lawn signs is unconstitutional, saying its limitations on political lawn signs violates the free speech rights of residents. The decision Thursday by a three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling against Camp Hill Borough. In the 11-page decision, Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote that the 2021 ordinance discriminates between types of content, is overly broad and lacks a compelling reason to limit free speech. The borough says it hasn’t decided whether to appeal. It says it wrote the ordinance to protect aesthetics and improve traffic safety.
