At least Bart doesn't have billboards that read, "Blessed are the peacemakers"

Gordon needs one like this right outside his office window:

I don't appreciate Gordon sending me a ding letter when I applied to be a representative.

But maybe it was meant to be. I think I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

Let out a big groan when I saw Gordon retconned the long standing Dr Plantz billboard on I110 up the Governor’s Mansion curve.

Basically the same sign, but now with Gordon.

Morris was smart and began using those colors because they are the most effective in outdoor advertising as far as readability from a distance. Gordon only recently started following that trend.

Are you allowed to put anything you want if you buy a spot to advertise? If I wanted to put up a picture of a stripper with her top off.. And that's it.. Is it possible to put that up along the interstate?

Personal Injury Lawyers and their borderline “lottery” marketing (“Lawyer X got me $400,000!”

Robin Hood’s - taking jobs from the poor and giving windfall of cash to the poorer. Turning both to dust.

Jeff Landry IS a trial lawyer, went to Southern Law with many of these shysters, and took a pile of campaign money from the trial lawyers. He’s not going to touch tort reform

Well, he isn’t (or wasn’t) really one. He seemed to have piddled around with general litigation before getting into politics, which is why it was so ridiculous when he ran for (and was elected) Attorney General.
But the rest of your post seems pretty accurate.

What? Of course not. They have to be approved by the Bar Association, although the standard isn’t terribly high.

No. I apologize, I didn't mean can lawyers do it, I mean can just some random people do it? I was referring to the picture that had "We bought this so McKernan can't" or whatever it read.

He's got them in Florida too. Dude gets a percentage for referring the cases to other lawyers. It's an easy money scam for them.

No. Lamar or any other billboard company would not approve it.

I am sure that $400K is before the 44% cut for attorneys fees
