Wisconsin lawmaker Dale Kooyenga incurred the $30,000 fine after removing a permitted sign he didn't agree with.
Wisconsin assemblyman Dale Kooyenga, a Republican, is forced to pay the $30,000 settlement he brought on himself by improperly removing an anti-Trump sign.
Kooyenga is currently running for the seat in Wisconsin State Senate’s 5th District, which includes parts of Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
A controversy was touched when Kooyenga removed a sign placed in the state Capitol describing (admitted sexual predator) Trump as a “serial groper” and “corrupt.”
The man who put the sign there, Donald Johnson, had a state permit to put it up, and attached a copy of his permit to the back of the sign. Despite that, Kooyenga removed the sign and kept it in his office. Capitol Police discovered that it was Kooyenga after reviewing security footage showing the incident.
