Minnesota: Stay For The Fishing!

I wasn't going to post this story (from Fargo-Inforum) until I read this:
The first billboard went up Thursday along Interstate 94 in Moorhead, Minn., which is across the Red River from Fargo. It reads “NORTH DAKOTA” on the top line and “OPEN FOR BUSINESS” on the bottom.
Moorhead City Council member Mark Hintermeyer says he considers the message unproductive and confrontational and wants the sign taken down immediately.
North Dakota Chamber President Andy Peterson says one of the objectives of the campaign is to help Minnesota improve its business environment. He says that would benefit the entire region. 
Wow, that Moorhead City Council member "Mark" certainly has a thin skin. He needs to put up his own Minnesota sign, something like "Minnesota: Stay For The Fishing."
