Con Dox (not a typo) claims that some of the signs were vandalized and some were stolen. That's funny because I drove by all the signs today that I saw last weekend and every one of them is still there and none of them appear vandalized.

Did they also record the part where they admitted that someone gave them confidential information from Executive Session? You know, the same information that YOU were given?

Do you look the other way if a violation benefits you or your cause somehow?
