Honorable Mayor and Council,
I write to express my opposition to the proposed anti-nudity ordinance. I have read the
ordinance.
While I am not a resident of Ashland I have always valued the feeling of Ashland being a
community that supports the diversity of all.
I question the potential impact this ordinance may have on the arts and theater
community. Please give considerable thought before considering this ordinance.
As a 54 year old grandmother I continually see our civil liberties being erased. I
compliment the city of Ashland that the city police would have time to enforce this
ordinance.
I recently attended the movie "Same River Twice." This movie gave some great public
relations to the city of Ashland. Junction City community members recently rais(~d over
~ million dollars in support of the schools with the Long Grange Calendar. This (~alendar
with "nude but not nude" photos of older men grange members will soon be a book and
mOVIe.
Please let Ashland be known for arts and theater and avoid passing this ordinance:. Surely
there are other ways to deal with whatever issues prompted this proposed ordinance.
