A town in Massachusetts has sent a cease-and-desist letter to a property owner who projected a “Trump 2024” sign onto the side of a municipal water tower.
Officials said the town of Hanson does not endorse candidates, nor does it allow political signs to be displayed on municipal property.

“fficials said the resident’s actions could cost a significant amount of taxpayer dollars”
No, the resident’s actions cost no one anything.
The towns actions are what is costing.
And it’s costing them a lot more than they thought, because now we all heard about it and saw the picture.
“tards gonna’ tard I guess.

Unless it’s a democrat.

They should tell the officials to move the freakin water tower, they have a right to project what they want.

Or they could just stop spending billable hours to try and censor it at a cost of nothing.

Highway Department employees have positioned a spotlight to shine on the tower, making it harder to see the projection at night. What kind of screw worms run that town? Gezzz

Wait for it. Some brain washed Dem is going to try to knock that whole water tower down, down, DOWN!! Because it has become there obsession. Never mind what happens to the community when they lose their water tower.
To: jdt1138
Town: "Hey, you can't do that!"
Guy: "Sure I can. Watch me do it."
Town: "It's gonna cost you $100 a day if you keep this up!"
Guy: "Okay by me. Your move."
Town: "We're gonna get a really bright light and blur it out! We're gonna get our workers to turn the light on and off! We're gonna get our lawyers! It's gonna cost more than $100 a day!!"
Guy: "LMAO"

They are worried that the Trump sign on the water tower may cause Kamala to lose Massachusetts?
To: jdt1138
Start a go fund me. This could go on until the election. Not that it matters in Taxachusetts.
To: jdt1138
They have to pay overtime to the guy who turns the light on and off? How much time does that take? 4 hours?
