Detroit auto shop owner Michael Murphy supports former President Donald Trump, and he thinks someone with the city has a problem with that. In recent weeks, Murphy told WJBK, political signs he put up outside Pointe Auto Tech on Detroit’s east side have been repeatedly removed, while signs promoting Vice President Kamala Harris nearby have been left untouched.
“A white City of Detroit truck pulling up and taking them,” he said. After the first time the signs were swiped on Oct. 21, “I got some more,” Murphy said, only to have those removed, as well. “They said I was not allowed to put them between the sidewalk and the curb,” he said. “I have put them there, but I’ve put them against the building and they’ve taken those as well.”
Detroit General Services Director Crystal Perkins confirmed Murphy’s signs were taken down because she claimed they violate the Detroit Sign Ordinance that requires them to be at least five feet back from the sidewalk. When confronted with Harris signs a few blocks from Murphy’s shop that appear to violate the ordinance, Perkins agreed the signs were in violation but denied any double standard.
