State confiscates homemade national monument sign, warns against other postings
Source: Bangor Daily News
A Benedicta couple who oppose the governors ban of road signs showing the way to Maines national monument hung their own signage on a highway overpass.
But it didnt last long.
Herman and Lisa Ammerman said they put up a spraypainted painters cloth sign advertising the Katahdin Woods and Water National Monuments accessibility via exit 262 at about 7 p.m. on Tuesday. By the next afternoon, it was gone.
It was unclear exactly who took down the sign. Maine Department of Transportation spokesman Ted Talbot said state workers removed a sign left at the same location, Benedictas Casey Road bridge on the northbound side of Interstate 95, on Wednesday. But he didnt know if workers removed Herman and Lisa Ammermans sign, or someone elses. Talbot said the sign was illegally placed, and hazardous.
