City Seal Misuse Investigation
Summary
Banning is investigating someone for putting the official city seal on a flyer without permission. It sounds small, but official branding can make a message look city-approved—especially if it was pushing politics or a business. Bottom line: don’t use the seal unless you’re authorized.
