A “Trump 2024” sign projected onto a municipal water tower has prompted a Massachusetts town to issue a cease-and-desist order against a resident or face fines.
Hanson Town Administrator Lisa Green published a statement acknowledging a “political sign” but would not say it’s a pro-Trump image.
“On Friday, Oct. 11, the Town of Hanson became aware that a resident was projecting the image of a political sign from their property onto the Town of Hanson municipal water tower at 228 High St. This misleads the public into believing that this activity is sanctioned by or condoned by the Town,” Green said.
“As a governmental entity, the Town of Hanson does not endorse candidates for any office from any political party, nor does the Town allow political signs to be displayed on municipal property,” the release stated.
“The Town of Hanson’s Sign Regulations, which can be viewed here, contain language that makes this individual’s actions a violation of Town bylaws. The Town is working on a Cease and Desist order to present to the resident. The Town intends to issue the maximum fine of $100 per day until the activity is discontinued,” it continued.
