Yeah, I think that's the intent as well, but the language of the penalty section just refers to "the provisions of RSA 664:17 relative to removing" so I can see how it could be broadly interpreted to mean either someone who removes a sign when they aren't authorized to or a candidate who fails to remove their own sign.

Like they have in New Hampshire?

> 664:17 Placement and Removal of Political Advertising. – No political advertising shall be placed on or affixed to any public property including highway rights-of-way or private property without the owner's consent. All political advertising shall be removed by the candidate no later than the second Friday following the election unless the election is a primary and the advertising concerns a candidate who is a winner in the primary.

> The court, upon petition of the attorney general, may levy upon any person who violates the provisions of RSA 664:16-a or the provisions of RSA 664:17 relative to removing, defacing, or destroying political advertising on private property a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $1,000 per violation

My read on that is the candidate is liable for $1000 per sign they fail to remove.

There is no way to tell from the generic bottles of maple syrup in the photo whether or not they are actually VT syrup, as the post suggests they are. From what I can make out of the sticker it looks like it's probably something from Costco as others have stated. Could be VT syrup... or not.

It's not that lunch breaks "may not be paid", it's that they may be unpaid (or paid). The way I read your post made it seem like you think lunch breaks must be unpaid.

All-wheel drive can easily turn into all-wheel slip without proper tires. I had fun in my last Forester during the first snow before I changed over to snow tires. The wrong kind of fun… luckily no person or vehicles were injured, so I guess it was still a little bit the right kind of fun.
