Rural Ashton and Sandy Spring



Free Speech Stolen in AMP Dispute
 
    More than a half dozen "Downsize Ashton Mall" signs have been stolen over the past weekend along Route 108, New Hampshire Avenue and Norwood Road.  The signs disappeared on Friday and Saturday nights.
 
    If you have a sign, please secure it.
 
    "This is most disturbing," said Paul Mannina, co-president of the Sandy Spring Ashton Rural Preservation Consortium (SSARPC~PreserveAshton.net). "All of these signs have been placed by Sandy Spring/Ashton homeowners who are concerned about the size of the proposed Ashton Meeting Place. No one should violate their right to voice their opinion."
 
    Many SSARPC~PreservAshton.net volunteers dedicated several days making the signs, in an effort to keep costs down and to accommodate the many requests by homeowners for lawn signs.
 
    "We will be replacing those signs this week," said Mannina, "as well as providing several more dozen to supporters who have been on a sign-waiting list. I hope we will look back and see this as an isolated incident, as this is not how our community behaves."
