After scaling down the size (by request of the curator), the Mayor's sign looks huge out of context.
 "Better Value Begins with Change" is a simple bit of word play meant to allude to the absurdity of a universal value system, a two party electoral system representing 300 million people, and the intrinsic value of a 49 cent - 700 calorie upgrade. Many thanks to Marc Wilson and Art & Advertising Signs in Albuquerque for the vinyl work.

I've spent the week wrestling with a 14 foot tall cheeseburger-headed politician. Today, I happy to report that I won the battle. Many thanks to my buddy Sean Pope and his superhuman abilities to manipulate steel; the Mayor now "rests" somewhat uncomfortably straddling a 1" square tube steel post.
