I dont know about “usurping” per-se, but the city council has done all sorts of stupid passive-aggressive bull.

FWIR, things like designating the parking spots in front of the station as “official protest grounds” one day a week. If they had any real balls they would just zone them out of the area, or something else half-retarded.

I don’t agree with it, the marine station has as much 1st amendment right as anyone else. But if you’re going to piss of the Federal Govt, at least be brazen about it.
