A controversial 100-foot wide “Vote for Trump” sign in upstate New York is facing legal action from the City of Amsterdam, which claims it is a code violation. Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino installed the sign on top of the old Fownes glove factory to represent the resurgence of American manufacturing and what he sees as triumph over adversity.
Constantino’s company now finds itself in a legal battle with the city over the sign, which allegedly poses a traffic hazard due to its illumination. While the city claims Sticker Mule was aware of the need for permits and variances, the company disputes these allegations.
Despite the legal challenges, Constantino is proud of the success of Sticker Mule, which has created numerous manufacturing jobs in the U.S. He sees the sign as a symbol of hope for American manufacturing jobs and economic growth in his hometown of Amsterdam.
The sign has garnered significant interest, with plans for a “Trump Sign Lighting Party” that will feature UFC superstars and political figures. However, the city of Amsterdam issued a notice of violation demanding the removal of the sign, citing safety concerns for drivers.
Despite the legal hurdles, Constantino remains determined to continue with the event and views the sign as a unifying symbol for the community. He hopes that the sign will become a tourist attraction and a source of pride for the city, regardless of political affiliations.
While the city maintains that the objections are based on safety concerns rather than politics, Constantino believes that Mayor Cinquanti’s opposition to the sign is politically motivated. The legal battle is ongoing, with a hearing scheduled to address the issue.
Overall, the installation of the “Vote for Trump” sign in Amsterdam, New York has sparked controversy and legal action, but Constantino remains steadfast in his belief that it represents a positive development for the community and the country.
