Bangor Daily News reports that police are investigating the disappearance of Gov. Paul LePage's "pen For Business" sign on Kittery's Interstate 95. The sign disappeared "sometime before Memorial day." Reason no one is sure. . . probably because it took government a while to call each other and ask if they are the ones who took it down!
A ransom note was taped to the door of WZON-FM (King's station). The article says "The note was composed using letters cut out of newspapers and magazines and glued to a piece of paper." The article also notes, "King has raised money for and contributed to Democratic candidates in Maine and Florida."
And, the story concludes by telling us that "police have several leads on the stolen sign."

Your government is hard at work! Putting up signs self-congratulatory signs -- losing the signs -- and then spending money to find the lost signs. I always appreciate being in a traffic jam in California, and spotting a sign on the side of the road, "Your tax dollars at work." But, by the signs of the guys leaning on shovels, my tax dollars are mostly going to work to make signs telling me my tax dollars are hard at work.
