Nick D'Augustine has been told by the town of Amherst to remove patriotic signs and American flags from along Route 101A in front of the Oak Furniture Store, which he owns
Good morning P.E. Thanks for today's Flag-o-gram.
Great story with it.
I have two words and a travel destination for Charlie Tiedemann.
Good morning PE. Hmmm. This story could be a little tricky. I suppose I'd have to live in the area to understand it better.
He just had to take down the advertising signs he put up because of code and then just replaces them with Support our Troops and other patriotic signs and flags. I'm all for the show of patriotism and while I am against "rules" and restrictions imposed by communities and committees one should know these when renting space for a business or buying a home. This news article does slant toward making it look like he is toying with the rules to gain attention for his store albeit a patriotic gesture.
Great photo though, too bad for the controversy.
Morning PE.
Screw the city Council of Amherst! As a matter of fact screw most local city councils, I say it's about time to bring back tarring and feathering of these local politicians who think they have all kinds of powers over the people they were never given.
