Reacting to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier this year, Lula is proposing changes to its sign ordinance that explicitly says it doesn’t restrict sign content. “What’s fair for one has got to be fair for all,” City Manager Dennis Bergin said. The northeast Hall County city is holding a public hearing at 6 p.m. Monday on changes officials say are meant to satisfy the high court decision in June that upended restrictions on some local government ordinances that ostensibly curtailed free speech rights.
