Seriously. I’ve worked with folks that would stop by an IDOT office to pick up the yard signs they illegally posted so they could illegally post them the next day.
It’ll be bittersweet to see this primary over. Sad for all of the advertisers, sign makers, hustlers — they’re all losing big paychecks. Sweet if Dunkin goes away. Good luck to the voters in the 5th District. You’ve been poorly represented for 14 long years.
As much as everyone wants to see a conspiracy the City was ordered in the last election cycle ramp up the taking down of signs in public parkways. I would imagine that its more likely than not why those signs are in the back of the streets and san flatbed.
