Protesting Eminent Domain Abuse

An interesting story in the LA Times about eminent domain abuse and free speech in St. Louis, Missouri, "Political protest hits a brick wall."  The story details the conflict between a property owner who commissioned a two-story mural on the side of a building that says "End Eminent Domain Abuse" and city officials who have asked a federal court to hold that it violates the city's restrictions on the size of signs.  The owner claims its not the size that offends the city mothers and fathers, but the message.  The story has a great big photo of the mural, so you can decide for yourself.
