Candidate's mother admits stealing rival's lawn sign

HANOVER —

Kathy Welch, the mother of state representative candidate Korey Welch, was pulled over in Rockland at about 7:20 a.m. Tuesday, election day, after a state trooper said he saw her stealing a sign supporting her son's rival, Rhonda Nyman, from a Rockland front lawn.

State Police spokesman Dave Wilson said Kathy Welch of Hanson, was spotted by state trooper Tom Joyce taking the Nyman sign on Tuesday morning, Nov. 2.

In an interview later Tuesday morning, Wilson would not confirm whose lawn the sign was taken from, but he did confirm that police did find a Nyman sign in the front seat of Kathy Welch’s vehicle.

According to Wilson, Joyce pulled Welch over for speeding and gave her a citation. Whether or not she will face additional charges such as larceny is still under investigation, Wilson said.

2. They just never stop

And it doesn't matter if it's illegal, they'll keep on pulling these stunts. The possible penalties don't scare them, and indeed there probably aren't any. After all, if the GOP can send a gang of thugs to short circuit a ballot recount, or they jam the phone lines of Democratic headquarters, or any of their other election-stealing shenanigans are done with out consequence, what could possibly happen just for stealing an opponent's lawn sign?
