South Shore political spotlight battle resumed tonight at one town's water tower

By adamg on Wed, 11/06/2024 - 10:11pm

The Trump fan who'd been beaming his logo on the Hanson town water tower only to have the town bring in an even more powerful white spotlight to drown it out was back at it again tonight after he noticed the town had removed its spotlight, so the town hauled it back and turned it on again.

In a statement tonight, Town Administrator Lisa Green said:

Earlier today, the Town of Hanson discontinued measures put in place to block a political image being projected onto a Town-owned water tower. Regrettably, the party involved in the image projection resumed projecting today and as a result we have had to yet again take measures to block the projected image.

We would like to reiterate that the Town of Hanson does not endorse any political candidate, party or platform in any election, and that Town bylaws prohibit the display of political symbols or signage on government property. The Town is duty-bound to enforce those bylaws and is committed to taking whatever action is necessary to prevent future violations.

I wonder if he's been vetted by Project 2025? I could totally see spotlight guy working at the new Department of Efficiency and Information the President-Elect will most likely establish under his upcoming administration. Elon Musk would be his boss.

There were many Trump flags along the beaches and waterfront houses of the South Shore this year.

Project 2025 would gut government support for FEMA and flood insurance.

Don't cry to me that your house got washed anyway in the great Blizzard of 26 and your Donnie won't give you a check for it.

I am actually all for us not rebuilding coastal Florida after a hurricane. You bought in? Suck it up. I'm not paying for it.

Is DEI for red states. Almost nice to see them win an election without gaming it for once.

You can't fix stupid here.

This guy loves trump so much that he's willing to pay fines to show much he loves him. Absolutely sickening how much MAGA fawns over him, even tho he's no better than the scum on toilet at the bus station.

TFS.. Trump Fawning Syndrome. Its a thing where you forget all sensibilities and focus all your efforts on a man who craps his pants, can't complete full sentences, doesn't shower, has had numerous failed businesses, stimulant abuser, convicted felon and more.

What a person to focus your energies on. *eye roll*

Its fun having my education and self respect maligned by smooth brained bigots who didn't invest in their better side once they reached the age of majority.

Just look what we've made them do now!

This is one of those don't give it any attention and it will go away situations.

A+ for the creativity here.

People who are not targeted by harassment assert this frequently. This take has yet to be proven to have any merit.

If this guy thinks it's ok to shine a spotlight on someone else's property, he shouldn't have a problem if the town shines super-bright lights at his house all night.
