The rules around signage in Roselle Park are pretty clear-cut.
Political flags? Cool. Flags containing profanity or vulgar language? Not cool.
One Roselle Park homeowner who recently swapped her pro-Trump flags for vulgar and profanity-laced ones could face penalties if she does not take them down.
Mayor Joe Signorello told Daily Voice he received a barrage of complaints regarding the six or more flags at Andrea Dick's Willow Avenue home since last Friday.
Dick apparently took down her pro-Trump signs that had been hanging outside of her home for the last year-and-a-half and replaced them with ones depicting Donald Trump flipping the bird, and the words "F--- Biden," the mayor said.
The new flags are in violation of a borough ordinance banning obscene or sexually vulgar material, and are particularly an issue because she lives within a block of an elementary school, Signorello said citing residents' concerns.
Dick on Tuesday was given 24 hours to remove the new signs, the mayor said. If she does not, she faces a $500 fine.
Citing "freedom of speech," Dick told NJ Advance Media she will not take down the vulgar ones.
Dick did not immediately return Daily Voice's request for comment.
