Abstract:
Perhaps there is no more visible expression of the right of free speech than citizens marching down a street to make their views on a subject known. From a local government standpoint the parade is not \"free\" because streets have to be rerouted, extra police hours are needed and the cleanup afterwards--all require extra money from the local budget. Many state cities and towns charge a fee for the parade permit to help defray the costs to the local budget. This Bulletin examines the constitutional limitations on charging fees to parade participants and organizers.
