A community member emailed the city council to complain about the signs. This is the email she got back from Mayor Pat Burns. We emphasize - she's one of his constituents.
Additionally - we know Councilmembers Kennedy and Gruel were putting up these signs last night.

The HB CC just doxxed a BUNCH of citizens. Resident Proud Boy Luke Dennis showed a video he took of the signature petition that HB citizens signed to protect the library.
This is an EXPLICIT crime - and the video was reviewed by the new City Clerk (endorsed by Calvary Chapel) before it was aired
