» NYCScribe - Planning to picket Augusta? If so, you should know that ... Demonstrators planning to protest the all-male membership at Augusta National during the Masters will now face specific regulations.A divided Augusta Richmond County Commission approved a new ordinance Tuesday that requires protesters to apply for a permit 20 days before a demonstration. It also specifies an appeal process if a request is denied. The city's lawyer said the old ordinance, which simply gave the sheriff authority to approve or deny protest permits, could be too vague to withstand a court challenge. Under the new ordinance, approved 6-5, the sheriff will approve or deny the permit on the basis of public safety. -- posted by NYCScribe
