  1. On the political signs…so who is going to go around making people remove these signs? Hell, there are still signs and flags up all over this town for tRump, and that election was two years ago. Not to mention all the tRump 2024 signs. Sure doesn’t seem like the town is doing anything about that…probably because damn near every public figure in Burrillville is a tRump toady. I’m not holding my breath waiting for this town to do a damn thing about these signs.
