The Hanson Select Board has said they will leave measures in place to prevent a political sign from being projected onto the town’s water tower.

The board made the announcement following a meeting that was held in Executive Session Tuesday night.

A cease and desist letter was delivered to a resident who was projecting a Trump 2024 logo onto the water tower and officials say that, since that time, the resident has not projected the image.

However, they say the resident has also declined to agree in writing that they will not project the image onto the water tower again and the Select Board has “decided to leave measures in place to dim the projection until further notice.”

In addition to the financial costs, officials say that at least one threatening voicemail has been sent to a Town official and a number of inappropriate and vulgar phone calls and email messages were also sent to Town employees.

They say they do not believe the messages originated locally and the town is cooperating with the appropriate law enforcement authorities.

In their statement the board also said “The Town of Hanson does not endorse any political candidate, party or platform in any election. Town bylaws prohibit the display of political symbols or signage on government property, and the Town is duty-bound to enforce the bylaws.”
