[TowerTalk] CC&Rs again - definition

[Jim Miller]

Sorry this is so long, I didn't want to edit any part of it.

The question is the definition of "political subdivision".  This was touted at a meeting as meaning subdivision as we would like, i.e. as in CC&Rs, but I am skeptical.  I would like some expertise from the legal side to verify or discount this.

The bill follows (Missouri).

Any order or ordinance relating to the placement, screening, or height of an amateur radio antenna based on health, safety, or aesthetic considerations shall reasonably accommodate amateur communications and represent the minimal practicable regulation to accomplish the political subdivision's legitimate purpose.
