The ALL the signs visible from the highway, advertising everything from Big Mac's to Motels and elections, exits, fuel stops, intersections and especially those lighted blinking road hazard warnings are also "Distracting". IOW you are what you are, a political hack Johnson.
Massachusetts Department of Transportation tried this trick a few years ago because the Lefties that run the state didn’t like displays of Patriotism for returning Vets....they cited “Safety Concerns” as well......I’m not sure of what happened behind the scenes, but the Leftist/Safetycrats lost that battle. These petty Fascists need to be chastised with the 1st Amendment.
The TEA Party people should stand on the bridges with a new sign which reads, SCOTT’S JOHNSON IS IN OBAMA’S POCKET!
