When my parents got older, lifelong County residents, had to move to the Bangor area for healthcare reasons. They were going to Bangor so often for care, it just made sense.

Reply to I want a law that fines the sign-manufacturing political party $50 per sign left over after election day. by PlentyCommission166

The people who would need to write and pass this law are the same people who would be regulated by it. It SHOULD be a law, but it never will I'm afraid.

Reply to Does anyone actually like the political signs? by IoTPanic

Some people (guess who?) consider them a show of strength and put them in their yards and on derelict property as soon as they get them. The intent is to generate the “Wow, they must be popular” impression as early as possible.
