Author of anti-Buescher signage going out of business
In a sign of the times, Mike Gregg, one of outgoing Democratic state Rep. Bernie Buescher’s more vocal critics is going out of business, according to The Daily Sentinel’s new “Mobile Junction’ blog.
As my colleague reports: “Mike Gregg, owner of the dealership at 2800 North Avenue, decided to retire and made the decision to close the lot about two weeks ago, said Orville Powders, who has worked at Mike’s for 10 years.
“The dealership has been a Grand Junction landmark for 30 years, Powders said, though it was known by a different name in the past.
“Mike’s Auto is known by passersby for the conservative political messages that often adorn the marquee in front of the dealership, which now reads, ‘Everything must go, quitting business.’”
Though the darkening of his sign might disappoint some local conservatives, it’s probably a safe bet his penchant for letter writing will continue.
