60-ft dollar sign burned into NY school ballfield

EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) -- A 60-foot-long dollar sign has been burned into the synthetic turf at a Long Island high school football field.

A five-page letter left on the field and mailed to local newspapers complains about how schools spend tax dollars.

The typed letter defends the vandalism, saying the cost of the damage to the football field "would seem small" compared to the amount the school district would save if taxpayers oversaw its budget.

Superintendent Ray Gualtieri says all school district expenses were approved by voters.

East Hampton High School administrators say the damage could cost $100,000 to repair.

Police say they're investigating the vandalism, which was discovered last week.

Wait, what $100,000 for a 60 ft dollar sign?  I mean, that's not even like a tenth of an acre.  3600 sq ft.  A $50 bag of seed would fix that.

I didn't know you could buy seeds for a synthetic turf. Are they like astroturf seeds?

State construction workers? Probably have to hire fifteen to stand around and watch the other two not work all day.

The article did state artificial turf.  Perhaps rogue landscaper Howard Roark did it to take back his work when the, previously, agreed upon natural turf wasn't used.

Rogue landscaper? That sounds like fun. Maybe I should work to earn that title from the government press...
