It’s the battle of the signs in Cary, that wealthy Raleigh suburb known for its statist tilt. On the bright side, at least the Cary comrades are being consistent.
The News & Observer reports:
A love note to the town may get a Cary man in trouble.
Keith Ramsey’s newly spray-painted message – “We [heart] the Town of CARY” – is a direct response to a contested sign just down the street, the bright orange one that reads “Screwed by the town of Cary.”
The latter, posted last year by homeowner David Bowden, is being debated in federal court. In a lawsuit, Bowden says his First Amendment rights were violated when town officials asked him to remove his blaze orange sign at 305 SW Maynard Road.

If Ramsey’s sign doesn’t comply with town guidelines by Thursday, the town will begin its compliance enforcement process, which could include hefty fines, – as much as $500 a day.
The message: it doesn’t matter if you love or hate us. We’re still going to screw you.
