Yesterday morning, a crew appeared and erected this sign in the front yard of the new house next door. A few hours later the builder’s site supervisor showed up and said the sign was being removed. The town had called the homeowner and informed him that the sign was illegal and had to be removed; otherwise he would be subject to a fine.

The wheels of the town’s bureaucracy seldom turn this rapidly…I suspect that one of the neighbors called and complained about the sign.

Update -August 31… at 1430 local time today, the sign was taken down.
