Oskaloosa woman wins chair case from the bench

December 6, 2001 By admin

Oskaloosa resident Elaine Beck, who got in legal trouble in April for stacking chairs outside her home as a work of art, has won her court battle. Beck was originally charged with creating a nuisance after some neighbors complained the display was an eyesore. While those charges were dropped, she was later charged with violating a city ordinance, which requires a permit for outdoor art shows and exhibits. She lost her first suit against the city, but appealed — and has won. Beck will not have to pay a 500-dollar fine and the city will have to pick up the court costs. Beck’s husband is the Oskaloosa city attorney.
