TALBOT COUNTY - Vandals are being blamed for an alarming increase in damage to Talbot County road signs.
The Talbot County Roads Superintendent says 64 incidents have happened in the last year, mostly in the Cardova area. They say the incidents have cost almost $18,000 for repairs and replacement of the signs.
Officials say repairs have been diverting the efforts of road crews from projects to improve roadways.
