And just think the cost to the tax payers for that sign that is of course useless and states the obvious.

At least 3 over paid union workers to make the sign. One to do the work, one to supervise the one doing the work and then a supervisor to the supervisor.

I'm sure all the materials used to construct the sign were bought at premium price.

A 3 month, multi agency study had to be conducted to determine the best location of the sign where it would be aesthetically pleasing and no animals would ever be harmed by it's placement.

2 months were spent in focus groups to determine the exact wording was gender neutral, not racist, offensive or difficult to understand by non English speaking "guests". It's shocking that the sign was actually printed out in just one language instead of 30.

Now to the installation which required at least 2 state DPW trucks, 2 police cruisers, 2 flaggers, 1 supervisor, 1 assistant to the supervisor, 1 safety and compliance inspector, and 3 guys to pound in a post and put in two bolts. A survey crew was then called out to ensure that the placement met ample visual distance from 100 feet away because this is critical information for all passers by for sure.

All in all that sign probably cost everyone 150K all so you can know the state road ends here.

Congratulations!
