“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.

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.

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?
