[Towertalk] deed restrictions

[Bruce Makas]

To further add ammunition to those who believe that CC&R's can be pre
empted, the Arizona Legislature passed yesterday a bill that states that
CC&R's cannot prohibit the display of flags (means flagpoles too). I believe
that other states have either passed or are considering such bills. This
will allow flagpole verticals and adds credence to the argument that CC&R's
may be pre empted.
