Area Resident Tries to Deter Traffic
Rankin County officials have a quagmire on their hands with the traffic issues associated with the Hwy. 18 bridge closure. They’re doing all they can to alleviate the problems, but it’s a tall task. Many area residents are not happy with the traffic situation. Some think farmer Homer Sampson recently released his llamas to deter traffic on Kersh Rd. (read our recent article about that), and some think that’s the reason Clifton Rd. is now closed. Now, another area resident is trying his hand at deterring traffic.
Mr. Bill Lewinski, a resident on Rock Hill Rd., has had enough. He has erected a huge sign the size of a billboard with a picture of Hillary Clinton in his yard, and he hopes that it will deter traffic. Lewinski said, “All this traffic is driving me insane, and I decided to do something about it. No one likes Hillary Clinton, so I put up a huge picture of her in my yard. People will get tired of looking at her two times each day. It may take a couple weeks, but eventually they’ll get tired of looking at her face. If her picture doesn’t work, I have got a couple more up my sleeve.”
I asked Mr. Lewinski if he got the sign approved by the county. He said, “What do you think? Heck no! This is America; it’s a free country! I just hope Hillary doesn’t read your article because I don’t want to end up dead.”
Most area residents think the picture of Hillary will do little to deter traffic, but they’re glad Mr. Lewinski is trying.
