I picked up Thursday’s Conway Daily Sun and read that I and all of us Conway taxpayers are being sued for $1 million by the new owner of Leavitt’s Country Bakery because his gigantic sign (or mural) is disallowed under the town’s sign ordinance.

Wow, what a blatant distortion of facts. The owner of Leavitt's sued for $1 not $1 million. Must be a typo or someone with the own agenda.
