Editorial: For civility code, be nice but be frugal | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

Instead of reinventing the wheel and paying attorney Gerald Richman $250 an hour to make sure it doesn’t squeak, the city could’ve just turned to Lake Worth, which adopted a civility code two years ago that “bans name-calling, obscenity and shouting” and requires speakers to refrain from using “fighting words which might incite violence.”
