Municipal sign ordinances commonly embody exemptions for various categories defined by the content of the signs - or are they? Some courts find impermissible content discrimination in this situation, while others - heavily influenced by the Supreme Court's 2000 decision in Hill v. Colorado- do not. This article explores the case law in this area (including the effect of other Supreme Court decisions, most notably City of Ladue v. Gilleo), and suggest a more flexible and realistic approach to the de minimis content discrimination at issue in these cases.
市政标志条例通常包含由标志内容定义的各种类别的豁免-或者它们是吗?在这种情况下,一些法院认为内容歧视是不允许的,而另一些法院——受到最高法院2000年希尔诉科罗拉多州案判决的严重影响——则不这样认为。本文探讨了这一领域的判例法(包括其他最高法院判决的影响,最著名的是Ladue City v. Gilleo),并提出了一种更灵活、更现实的方法来处理这些案件中存在争议的最低限度内容歧视。

Future U.S. legislation to curb the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) seems likely to include enforcement provisions and to give the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and individual U.S. states significant roles in enforcing its provisions. Following an overview of U.S. environmental enforcement approaches and authorities, this paper considers the history and current state of EPA’s organizational structure for enforcement. It assays the Agency’s working relations with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and its dealings with state environmental agency enforcement programs. The paper also considers the nature and sources of resource shortfalls that have long impaired the effectiveness of EPA’s enforcement work. It advances specific suggestions to redress the problems it identifies.
