Kudos to Mr. Perez.  What a great example to set for his daughters.

To all the folks that had to jump in here to bash 'guvmint', try reading the article again.  The plan is to strip the old surface down to bare metal, then build it up with new layers of sealant, including an anti-graffiti top-coat. That will be a lot of expensive work.  Way more involved than a few cans of Goof-off and some sponges.  And if you read carefully you will also note that DAMA Industrial has volunteered free labor and Sherwin Williams has offered free materials. 

I'm sure Mr. Perez, DAMA, and the local Sherwin Williams would be grateful if you cracked open your wallets and helped reimburse them for their generous donations of time and materials rather than just fling poo from behind your keyboards.
