U.S. Supreme Court to hear pastor’s suit challenging Gilbert sign ordinance
By Gary Grado | Arizona Capitol Times
The pastor of a small Gilbert congregation says the town government believes political campaign signs are more important than the small placards that give directions to his service.
Attorneys for Clyde Reed, pastor and founder of Good News Presbyterian Church, will now try to convince the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Gilbert’s favor.
Reed’s case is the only one from Arizona that the high court has so far agreed to hear in the 2014-15 term, which begins next month. The court hasn’t set a date to hear it yet.
