Need Save Our Residents signs

In today's Almanac:

Need Save Our Residents signs

Ride around Mt. Lebanon and you can't help but notice the signs that say, Save Our Schools, or SOS. Cute, but I and 75 percent of all of Mt. Lebanon residents would rather see signs that say - Save Our Residents, or SOR.
Yep, we're SOR(e) that we not only have to pay the exorbitant taxes for the teacher's salaries and benefits; but now they and their school board want us to pay for a new high school. That, after paying for all of the grade schools updates. Tis the season for giving, but "give" me a break! (from higher taxes)
So folks, put up those SOR signs when you put up those Christmas stockings, and let's see who gets coal in their stocking.

Note: Once and for all, the Concerned Citizens of Mt. Lebanon are not behind the S.O.S signs.  Yes, Save Our School sounds like "Don't Tear Down Buildings."  No, it doesn't make sense to have "Save Our School" translate to "Demolish Two Buildings," but none of this makes sense.  I questioned the need for the signs in the first place and all it got me was being accused of stealing their signs. 
Nice letter, D. L. McMahon.
