Sign of Dirty Tricks Times
Democrats up to their normal dirty tricks.

Quote:
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley ordered state highway workers to remove political campaign signs for Republican candidates during the weekend, according to GOP candidates and homeowners.

The leader of the state with the slogan of "Seize the Day Off" apparently told state employees to work on their days off, at overtime rates, according to candidates and residents along major thoroughfares in the Democratic stronghold of Montgomery County, in the Washington suburbs. Those residents told Newsmax they were surprised on Saturday when highway workers removed signs from their front yards and tossed them into a state dump truck.

Awesome. I think those homeowners should file charges of theft.

Not if the signs were in the right-of-way.

From the article:
"Those residents told Newsmax they were surprised on Saturday when highway workers removed signs from their front yards and tossed them into a state dump truck.
...
But the state has no authority to remove signs from private property. Removal of private property without the owner’s request is theft."


I tell you right now, if you came to my yard as a state worker and removed my sign I'd file charges.

Intimidation tactics make me mad.
