The truth can now be revealed The other day… By Donna Culotta Did you ever wonder what happens to all those campaign signs once the election is over? They do represent a sizable investment and if the office sought was parishwide, there’s a whole bunch of those signs around. You probably think they get stored in a shed, or a garage, piled on the carport, taken to a store-n-lock, or any place where they’re out of sight. I have discovered where campaign signs retire and it’s not what you’d expect. Down a dusty road, deep in the woods, somewhere in the AP, a place that was leased on private property has been reserved for old campaign signs. It’s under fence, has a locked gate and even a drone flying over can’t find it. There is a sign and the place is called “Bubba Eugene’s Auto Parts,” You didn’t think they’d call it “The spot where campaign signs retire,” did you? Because they didn’t.
