Limitations
The Town Council shall refrain from supporting any partisan, sectarian, or special interests, including the publishing and distribution of statements in favor of or opposition to such interests. This is not to be construed as a limitation upon fund-raising efforts, solicitation of advertising, taking a position on an issue of concern to the community, or encouragement to neighborhood and special area groups in the promotion and advocacy of their own interests as they see them, but rather, it is to prevent inappropriate favoritism or bias.
