Ed Brault: Translating a message for Turlock’s mayor

Attention Mayor Gary Soiseth:

I have a subtle hint for our terrific new mayor of Turlock, first in French and Spanish (for those who love wine or tequila):

Faites réparer les maudites rues.

Repare los caminos malditos.

Fix the damned streets!

This message is available in 40 other languages if needed.

Ed Brault, Turlock
