[UPDATE- Grubbs' campaign is using direct-mail giant Ed Valentine]

The yard sign guy for County Attorney Joe Grubbs says the incumbent prosecutor made off with loads of yard signs – they’re visible around the county – and ordered another round, but Grubbs has refused to pay for the entire order. Valentine says they’ve already paid $1,000 for the signs.

But when Grubbs traveled to pick up the second shipment – he didn’t bring a check. And there’s the rub.

There’s a photo that’s being e-mailed around showing a big palette of Grubbs signs waiting for pick-up, but the sign guy says he won’t be delivering until a check is made out to him. Now this sign owner wants to sue to collect the rest.

More details will be available in The Ellis County Press.

This story isn’t as controversial as first thought. We’ll have the rest.
