"Less Taxes = More Freedom" billboards
Has anyone seen any around town? I was driving south on Hennepin yesterday and saw one at the corner of Frankin and Hennepin.

Who's putting these up?

1. I saw that this weekend too. I saw an illustrated eagle on the lower left hand corner
- but couldn't read the words next to said eagle. Next time I pass it, I'll try to get a better look. :hi:

11. How weird.
What a strange thing for a real estate company to advertise. I'll see if I can take a photo of it later this week.

2. It should be "fewer taxes", not "less".
If they are going to re-run the same old arguments, could they at least do it with proper grammar?
