Who in his right mind would think this is appropriate?
Technically, that’s not a campaign sign, but really it’s a campaign sign. Effler’s name is in roughly 30” high letters! You can read the sign from 1/4 mile away!
Why would somebody do this? Mammoth ego? Micro peen? Terribly bad judgment? All of the above?
Effler attended the University of Memphis law school, graduating in 1999. The school was unranked that year, officially lumped with other schools in a category called Tier 3. Since 1999 the Tier 3 designation has been dropped for an actual ranking, and the school is currently ranked 140th out of 196 schools. Clearly he didn’t walk away from the school with an understanding of how to spend taxpayer’s money wisely.
