The Manchester Board of Alderman heard a billboard warning and addressed new pool repair problems Monday night.
BILLBOARDS Manchester has a city ordinance completely prohibiting billboards, but State Rep. Sue Allen, R-Town and Country addressed the Manchester Board of Aldermen Monday night to suggest the board might want to reconsider. Allen said she is concerned that a city such as Manchester that completely prohibits the billboards may be setting itself up for challenges of freedom of speech and property rights. The issue stems from House Bill 430 which lumps a number of transportation bills together. Allen said House Bill 430 would also eliminate complete prohibition of billboards within municipalities and not allow them to prevent customary usage. House Bill 430 was passed by the Missouri House and Senate in May, but then vetoed by Governor Jay …
