City officials in the Minnesota community of Brandon are not happy with whoever modified the west-central Minnesota city’s welcome signs on the edge of town. Brandon City Clerk Deb Grommesh says city staff noticed Monday that someone added the words “Let’s Go” to the welcome signs.

The slogan “Let’s Go Brandon” stems from a NASCAR broadcast. Grommesh said “we understand and embrace freedom of speech, but we will not tolerate damage or alteration to government property.”

Douglas County Emergency Manager Julie Anderson says six signs were altered with plywood or cardboard. Anderson says the signs have been restored and were not damaged permanently.

Anderson says there will not be a criminal investigation because the signs weren’t actually damaged.
