Warsaw Hacienda Billboard Poll Results
WARSAW — The results are in from yesterday’s poll on Ink Free News on whether the controversial Hacienda billboard on State Road 15 should be taken down.
The results from the poll are as follows: 282 people thought the billboard was funny, 44 people found it offensive,
37 thought it was offensive but all in good fun and 38 people have no thoughts on the subject.
The billboard reads “The best Mexican food this side of the wall.” The phrase seemingly refers to comments made by Republican Presidential nominee, Donald Trump. Hacienda received complaints from two Hispanic communities in Indiana who thought the message was offensive. Hacienda responded by asking all of their restaurants to remove the nearly 40 billboards with this message.
In a statement by Hacienda on Aug. 17, all billboards were scheduled to be down by Aug. 19, however, as of Aug. 30, the billboard still remained in Warsaw.
