LOL. But as amusing as this is, it probably violates some public obscenity law and will be taken down.

The local govt says they can’t do anything because it’s public art.

. . . it probably violates some public obscenity law . . .

In Libtard Vermont? Where porn, promiscuity and public debauchery are celebrated as human rights? Why?

After a thirteen year First Amendment case winds its way to SCOTUS.

Not so fast.
Back when Dick Nixon was running for pres. his running mate at the time Spiro Agnew was in Saint Petersberg, Florida for a political ralley.
Some guy in the crowd flipped ole Spiro off and Spiro had his secret service agents and local police arrest the protester.
Guy appealed the case all the way to the Supremes and the Supremes ruled it was simply a case of this guy freely expressing his opinion.

Obscenity as art is recognized as protected under the First Amendment thanks to decisions on things like the Piss Christ work. There’s nothing they can do except maybe try to come up with a weird zoning law change - and even then, per the Supreme Court, they have a long and expensive road filled with decades in court if they want to go that way.

Very few towns in VT have obscenity laws, I doubt westford has one.
