Subject: mural
ordinance
Dear Alderman Kovac,
I am writing to urge you to vote against the mural
ordinance. It is my understanding that painting graffiti is already
illegal. Painting murals with owners' approval is not the same thing and
should not be regulated by the city. Requiring permits will do nothing to
prevent the illegal tagging that goes on in parts of the city, whereas outdoor
art projects on private property may go a long way to make citizens feel pride
and connection with their neighborhoods. It is not up to the city to
approve what this art in local communities looks like, or to say whether or not
it is art by permit.
Thank you for your consideration in this
matter.
