New Jersey: township ordinance prohibits political signs more than 30 days before election
The Asbury Park Press reports: Brick Township Councilman Stephen C. Acropolis pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he violated a township ordinance prohibiting political signs from being posted more than 30 days before an election.
The plea was made before Jackson Township Municipal Court Judge Daniel D. Hyman, who said he will notify both Acropolis and Edward C. Mueller, who challenged Acropolis and Mayor Joseph C. Scarpelli in November's mayoral election, when the hearing has been scheduled. Both Acropolis and Mueller told Hyman they did not believe they would have any witnesses.
Mueller signed the complaint against Acropolis on Sept. 26. In the complaint, he listed eight addresses where the Republicans' signs were posted. Although the signs may not have been on Acropolis' property, Mueller said he believes he is responsible because he was "at the top of the ticket." -- APP.COM v4.0 - Acropolis pleads not guilty to political sign complaint | Asbury Park Press Online
