Metro briefs: Ramsey blocks picketing in residential areas
By Star Tribune staff Text size Copy shortlink:
Ramsey has joined the growing list of cities that prohibit targeted picketing in residential areas.
The City Council on Tuesday approved the measure 6-1, with Council Member Chelsee Howell casting the dissenting vote. She supported the spirit of the law, she said, but would rather do that with laws we already have.
Though the city of about 28,000 residents in northwest Anoka County has not had any cases of picketing in neighborhoods, Police Chief Jeff Katers said the measure is aimed at keeping residential areas peaceful and safe, but still allowing protesters to gather in other parts of the city.
