Library Boots Signature Gatherer

Seems there’s more to the story about that “aggressive loiterer” being kicked off Hayden Public Library property Monday afternoon. ( See PM Scanner Traffic Monday, 4:28 item .) The Kootenai County Democrats Facebook site reports: “Sky Adams was gathering signatures today in front of the Hayden public library for Americans Elect . Adams says that, after standing outside for four hours and collecting 67 signatures, someone complained. The Sheriff showed up and issued a “no-trespass” order against him. The library is public property, so doesn’t Adams have the right to collect signatures in a public place? Does anyone know of a reason this would be illegal?” I’m not sure what Citizens Elect is — or why Sky Adams was collecting signatures for the group. But it still raises a question that’s being debated by the Democrats (thread here) :

Question: Should citizens be allowed to collect signatures in public library parking lots?
