A bakery in Conway NH is suing the town after being told their mural violates advertising signage laws. It seems the sign just has pastries and doesn't otherwise advertise the business, so they're calling it art and arguing it should stay. The town disagrees so they're going to court over it.

The bakery is suing the town for $1, and permission to keep the kids mural up.

This is a small business fighting to keep kids art on display. Suing for $1 is a way to signal that are willing to do this at a financial loss, and that the display isn't a means of enriching themselves but rather their community.

If they allow one, they have to allow everyone

Oh! You haven't heard! We can tailor laws to do whatever we as society desire. So we could interpret this law to mean that signs drawn by children without any company logos count as art, and anything done by a paid artist or with logos is not.

Isn't that neat? :-D

Ok, sarcastic response wasn't needed. I am not the city council, I am just a guy who understands their initial response. What you're suggesting very well be the way they decide to go, however I don't think I deserved that tone.
