Can a city, town etc... bar you from using your trademarked logo or logotype?

So, what you're all basically saying is..... you don't like this kinda law ?? They shouldn't have the right or last say, as to what goes on your sign or not in public ??

I'd like to know what you are objecting to when saying they can't do this ??

Just wanna get this straight...... for the record. ​
