However, after being informed that the ACLU of New Jersey was preparing to file a lawsuit seeking an emergency injunction against implementation of the ordinance, the Borough agreed not to enforce the political sign ban.
The total prohibition on political signs in the Borough does not serve a legitimate purpose and restricts speech, especially by precluding the time-honored right of Americans to express political messages through the placement of signs on their lawns.
Additionally, the ordinance impermissibly grants greater protection to commercial speech than to political speech, as other types of signs are permitted in residential districts, including real estate signs, church signs, and signs promoting events.

 Lawndog®: Lawn Care   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
If you’ve ever noticed a small, dead patch of grass encircled by a ring of healthy green grass, that’s a pretty sure sign of 'dog spot.' Dog waste, especially urine, contains high concentrations of nitrogen and salts that are harmful to grass and plants.
While nitrogen is actually used in commercial lawn fertilizers, the direct concentrated deposit in dog urine essentially ‘burns’ and kills the grass.
This problem is more endemic with female dogs since their deposits are dispersed in one spot.
