Gilbert Church’s Fight vs. Sign Code to Go On

Arizona Republic:  “An East Valley church that claims Gilbert discriminates against religious groups lost an appeal for an injunction on Friday, but the ruling marked only the latest step in an already years-long federal case against the town.  The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed an Arizona District Court decision to deny Good News Presbyterian Church, represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, an injunction against a signage code that it says violates its First Amendment rights.  But while the decision means Gilbert can continue to enforce the code against the church, the debate over whether it discriminates against religious groups will still be left to a District Court judge.”
