Open for Business: Sign of the Times

“Open for Business,” read the sign that was presented to Paul LePage on the day of his inauguration by the Maine Refounders, A Knox County Tea Party Group.  Last weekend, the sign was removed from its place along I-95 by pranksters or political activists in a covert late-night act reminiscent of the LePage-ordered removal of the mural from the Labor Building.  The sign is now gathering dust in someones barn or basement. 

I have wondered about the propriety of a governor putting up what is essentially a partisan sign (funded by a partisan group and representative of a partisan agenda) along a federal highway.   You and I don't have the right to do that.  Why does the governor?
