Ummm.....strange. There had been political signs here on the corner of 104 and 128. Both parties. Now they are GONE. Why?

I'm not too upset to see them gone.  They are a distraction at a very dangerous intersection.

I was wondering if the state road crew took them down for that reason.

as a former candidate, I can attest that VTrans does take down signs in right-of-ways (sometimes).
and bring them to the VTrans building in St. Albans.
candidates can get them back by going to pick them up
and if they hurry, they don't have to climb into a dumpster.

there is an exemption with two weeks to go, though, I believe.

some candidates do not know this and blame their opponent.

Hey Ed, if memory serves me correctly, there was a Shumlin sign there as well.

I AGREE!! Plenty of other places to put up signs.
