Signs at public meetings

[Michael Curtis]

At a public meeting in a public building to discuss a proposed Fed Ex hub
and water quality issues protesters bring signs--about 12-18 inches.  Do
they have a right to have their signs at the meeting?  Is anyone aware of
any cases on this issue?

Thanks,

Michael Curtis
