NC says no to highway blogging

Charges against ‘highway blogger’ will change

ASHEVILLE – Police said Thursday that it would change charges against a man who held an “impeach Bush, Cheney” sign from a bridge over Interstate 240.Jonas Phillips, a 35-year-old West Asheville resident, said he had recently taken up “highway blogging,” a protest practice of displaying signs of political discontent from highway overpasses.

Police cited him Wednesday for obstructing the sidewalk but said Thursday a N.C. Department of Transportation violation would be more fitting.

</em>No, letting a citizen exercise their right to free speech would be more fitting, asshat.

More freeway blogging here.
