Subway Owner Sues City of La Grange

La Grange Subway owner Tom Hudson filed a lawsuit in district court earlier this month against the City of La Grange. Hudson is seeking a permanent injunction against further enforcement of the City’s sign ordinance.

Local attorney Jeff Heintschel represents Hudson and his company, Jator, Inc. A petition in the suit was filed March 10. The lawsuit is the latest exchange in a year-long fight between Hudson and the city over an electronic sign he erected at the business in early 2016.

The city issued him a citation for allegedly violating the sign ordinance on March 16, 2016. That case was later dismissed in municipal court. The city issued him another citation on Dec. 2, which is now pending in municipal court.
