CONTRACT RUNS OUT IN APRIL

Upset About ‘Trump 2024’?

Help May Be On The Way

By JIM KEVLIN • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com

“Trump 2024” may be coming down in April.

MILFORD – For the portion of the public upset by the “Trump 2024” sign on Route 28 north of the Village of Milford, help may be on the way.

Anna Johnson, Rome Sign Co. business manager, said the billboard’s current renter has a contract that runs out in April, and a new customer has picked up the contract, so “Trump 2024” may be gone by the end of that month, “depending on the weather.”

Meanwhile, the company has a contract with the “Trump 2024” customer — it was “Trump 2020” until the Nov. 3 election – that it is bound to honor, and will honor, Johnson said.

Meanwhile, “everyone’s called me” about it, she said, particularly since the Milford Town Planning Board last month threatened to fine the village if it wasn’t removed.  (The billboard is in the town, but on property owned by the village.)  It turns out the town Planning Board last jurisdiction to fine anyone.

Over the period of controversy — the billboard’s been up for a couple of years – Johnson said she’s been approached a couple of times by people offering to take out long-term contracts, simply to get the message removed.

  1. If you read the book Kushner Inc. you will see that it is Ivanka who plans to run for president, hoping to be the most powerful woman in the world and to continue the Trump dynasty!

  2. This sounds like more censure of freedom of speech. (If you don’t agree with me, you shouldn’t be able to publicize it.)
    Sad and dangerous times we’re in.

  3. Leave it up. A lot of people think President Trump was a great President. Do not silence half a nation! If you don’t like it, look the other way.

  4. How about… if you are upset, don’t look. Or rent a billboard and put your message there? let’s respect each other’s opinion!

  5. Who are the complainers ? A lot of nerve to say or complain about a Trump billboard,it’s freedom of speech and now your trying to tell everyone the billboard must go, has this anything to do with this being a Blue County? I glad it’s there ,protect our boarders , and if annoys you everyday you drive by it ,GOOD
