It's a fight over a restaurant sign, a large and not turned-on electronic sign over the door of the Hard Rock Cafe just across the street from Niagara Falls State Park.
Some local state legislators say it's a victory for local control over Albany control.
"It's the local government, in this case Niagara Falls, that makes this type of determination," said State Senator George Maziarz.
That's the issue since state law gives Albany control over signs within 500 feet of a state park.
Actually in this case, state parks officials have given in and told the Hard Rock the sign can be turned on.
Assemblyman John Ceretto says that's fine but they are still going to change the law so Niagara Falls City Hall controls Niagara Falls signs.
"When you look at Canada, you look at signs like this. There's a tremendous amount of signs. And the businesses thrive," Ceretto said.
"Local control is a major issue for us and we support that."
Among the bright, flashing colorful lights just across the river and out of Albany's control is another Hard Rock Cafe.
