<font size=4>Pizza Shop Refuses To Remove Pro-Bush Sign

Owner Hangs Sign To Protest Democratic Convention

BOSTON -- The owner of a pizza shop across from the FleetCenter is furious that the city has asked him to take down a banner he's erected across from the FleetCenter supporting President George W. Bush.

The owner of Halftime Pizza put up the banner out of frustration earlier this week.

Mark Pasquale said all the road closures and changes wrought by the Democration National Convention near his business are forcing him to close down next week.

Now, the city building inspector told him to remove the banner or face a fine. The inspector said Pasquale never got a permit for it.

"The way I look at it is, if you look around this state here, you see all kinds of signs stuck to buildings. I doubt everybody has a permit. It's our property here. I'm not on city property and it's right up against the building,"<font color=black> Pasquale said.

Pasquale refuses to remove the banner.

He's not sure what the fine will be, but he said he'd rather pay it than take the sign down.
