When campaign promotions linger

My daily commute to The Journal News’ Rockland office takes me down Route 17 in Orange County. For the past few days road crews have been working on an overpass near Monroe.
I was driving along, cursing getting stuck in construction traffic during an already long commute, when I saw one of Patrick Withers’ campaign signs. Wha??
Withers, a Democrat from Suffern and a former county legislator, was one of several politicians last fall who used the sides and back of trucks to promote their candidacy.
And one of his old advertisements, albeit faded and peeling, has been parked along the side of Route 17 in Monroe for the last few days. The smaller details of the ad are almost gone—one can make out the word “keep”—but the Pat Withers, now dulled to a light gray, is clear as day.
Withers was defeated last year by Legislator Joseph Meyers, D-Suffern.
