Kennebec, Maine may have the worst anti-skateboarding ordinance ever to be passed by a City Council. Check it:
The current city skateboarding ordinance states: “No person shall course, slide down, across, in and along any street or sidewalk or public parking lot of the city upon any board jumper, skateboard or otherwise, unless such street, way or parking lot has been designated for such purposes by the Police Chief.”
In other words, the Kennebec Police Chief is the king of skateboarding. This ordinance is up for review tomorrow night at the Kennebec City Council meeting and hopefully things are going to change.

This is a draconian ordinance against skateboarders that ought not stand, even if by chance there are a few renegade skateboarders scaring the authorities into a conveniently more authoritarian state.
I suggest interested parties take to the city council meeting on the topic this evening at 1830 hours http://tr.im/pKZI
