What do you expect from a town run by sliverfoots.-meaning Dutch. The dang town has always been run by those who are wierd and this proves it.

Artsy-fartsy little town that depends on tourist trade. After this snotty, anti-American ban on yellow ribbons, I'll bet a lot of decent, patriotic tourists avoid Cedarburg this summer.

""It's a question of equity," he said. "Would we give other groups who say they are just as deserving the ability to display their symbols on public property?"

Mr. Gridley is an idiot. The yellow ribbons just happen to to be a symbol supporting those who are effecting the National will in a far away land. The other symbols are in support of those opposing that will. There's a choice to make, between supporting those that are fighting to achieve US goals and those that oppose them. A failure to allow placement of the yellow ribbons does not foster equity, it establishes a surrender to the goals of the black ribbon crowd mob.

If he were to allow the display, Gridley said Friday, what's to stop an anti-war group from hanging black ribbons on city trees or other public property?

If he persists in his nonsense, I think Mr. Gridley might be well advised to worry more about the locals tar-and-feathering city administrators than hanging yellow ribbons.

City workers put up the yellow ribbons in parts of Mobile, Alabama.

Do you think there were "Clint Gridley for City Administrator" signs on public land during this turd's election campaign?

Although Cedarburg may be "weird", Ozaukee County is one of the MOST conservative counties in the state. That includes Cedarburg.

I was raised in neighboring Washington County (West Bend) and I can tell you that it doesn't get much more patriotic than those two counties.

BTW, West Bend kicked Cedarburg's a$$ in soccer when I was on the team!!

Thank goodness for small towns. In our town we have gas lights throughout the town and there are yellow ribbons on all of them.
