New sign gets a lot of buzz

My story yesterday about the electric sign in front of West Towson and Ridge Ruxton schools seems to have gotten a lot of attention. It cost $35,000 which seems to have outraged readers, but I can't help thinking that maybe the interest has something to do with the fact that people were desperate to read about something that wasn't about the election. Perhaps a dispute over a sign seems to be a lot more fun than all those bickering pols.
