(CLEVELAND.COM) CLEVELAND, Ohio — A federal judge on Thursday scrapped the city of Cleveland’s plans for an event zone that would have encompassed most of downtown during the Republican National Convention, saying that the restrictions are unduly burdensome to people who want to express their free-speech rights.
U.S. District Judge James Gwin’s ruling comes 25 days before Republican delegates and leaders will descend upon Cleveland and forces the city to redraw the lines to the so-called “event zone.”
The city indicated it would appeal the judge’s order, but the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, which brought the lawsuit, said its attorneys were now negotiating at the judge’s behest to come up with a compromise because of the short timeframe.
