Haha, well done!

I love it. Ulman has been in the pocket of greedy developers, im gld other people are starting to notice.

I get that it is illegal but it IS funny!

It was most probably done because of Ulman's plan for metered parking on Main Street. This has become an extremely heated issue between those against (merchants/residences) and those for it (local government). The residents are being ignored. The issue is being discussed on the community facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/groups/historic.ellicott.city/

Although I think it probably wasn't a smart thing to do considering the possible endangerment, I do think it makes a good statement. For someone to go to this length to be heard means it's high time for the intended audience to LISTEN. Seems Ulman & Co. are in need of good old fashioned arrows with a message attached. Time to wake up, Ken Ulman.

Not legal and not funny. That person has to hack into a system, not just that sign, which means he/she could change other signs elsewhere. Trusting those stronger security measures are in place and hacker-proof.
Freedom of speech is great, but on your own sign, thank you.

"Hacking" is a bit of a misnomer as most of these electronic road signs use the default password (if any) to program the boxes and at best protect their panels with flimsy padlocks if the crews even bother to lock them at all. It would take approximately one minute on google for any person in this comment thread to figure out how to do this.

I personally would like to know about the road work, especially when driving in the dark. I think this is not a good place to hack a different message onto & might be distracted if I saw it while driving. The hacker certainly wasn't thinking about anyone else's safety! And by the way, it *is* hacking, even if it's easy.

It's amusing...once...for the message and execution. From here on this type of thing loses it's luster a bit. And sure the traffic and safety issue, but since no one was injured that I know of, I'll laugh behind my hand at it. :)

If such desperate measures are needed to get Ulman's attention something is seriously wrong. I have lived in Ellicott City my whole life so I have seen the drastic change over the years. I thought that Ulman as a younger generation leader and a Democrat would be interested in protection and support of the social goods - protect the environment from the ill effects of overdevelopment, protect us from crime with a competent police force, maintain a quality education system. But what I see is INSANE overdevelopment in environmentally sensitive areas like the Patapsco watershed, leading to overpopulation, an explosion in crime, and overcrowded schools. With all the existing taxpayers in HoCo there should be enough money to protect the social good. Ulman needs to listen up and tell us what his plan is.

Anon you are dead on. I used to respect Ken Ulman until I met him and his entourage. They have taken a nice peaceful area and turned it into a profiteers work space. He, Ball, and the rest have sold Howard County to the highest bidders and in the process raised crime and congestion to an all time high. Really says a lot that people have resorted to Robinhood tactics to get the attention of the media concerning Ulman's practices. The Sheriff of Nottingham needs to go.
