[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 289335, member: 3373"] The heading of this article indicates that Fargo is to buy the mural. Why the hell would a city spend tax money on a mural of any kind other than one that would promote the city? If a private citizen wants to spend their own money that is certainly their choice and they can live with the consequences. Just as it's the right of Bismarck or any other citizens of a city to object to murals that may be offensive to their tastes. Those objections can be refusing to spend money in a business involved. Or, heaven forbid, protest in public like the DAPL protestors did. That probably wouldn't work as most of us have jobs (well, not this of us who are retired) and no time to waste protesting such issues. Was on a city council not long ago and don't think such an issue would have caused any time to take care of at all. My first response would have been, "It's private property and none of our business until it becomes illegal. Let the property owner take care of the consequences of their actions." [/QUOTE]
