STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — "The Department of Transportation wants Staten Island artist Scott LoBaido to remove a bright blue line he painted along a divider on Hylan Boulevard outside of the 122 precinct or face getting hit with summonses, or worse, “legal actions.”
But LoBaido is bucking DOT’s warning, sent to him in a cease and desist letter last week, and instead, turning that letter into a piece of art and auctioning it off to fund the NYC Cops & Kids Boxing Club.

“Did the mayor get this letter for putting his artwork down the street without a permit? No. Did the people who graffitied this whole city, any of them get this letter? No, they did not,” LoBaido says in a video. “This is discrimination against me because I’m a conservative artist and I support the men and women in blue. This letter ain’t worth the paper it was printed on.”
“You defund the police, I’m funding them,” he said.
Last week, LoBaido painted a bright blue line along the divider on Hylan Boulevard outside of the 122nd precinct in New Dorp that he said represents his solidarity with the NYPD.
LoBaido painted the line without city approval, arguing “the mayor never got a permit to do that street art, so I guess it’s fair game.”
Earlier this summer, in response to nationwide racial injustice protests, de Blasio announced one street in every borough would be renamed “Black Lives Matter” and the roadway would be painted to match the sign.
CITY HALL: IT’S NOT ’OPEN SEASON’ FOR PAINTING STREETS
It is unclear whether de Blasio submitted an application or received a permit to paint “Black Lives Matter” on city streets.
City Hall confirmed last week that the mayor would not allow pro-police groups to paint “Blue Lives Matter” near the NYPD headquarters in Lower Manhattan.
The administration said the pro-police groups had not submitted a DOT application for their street painting proposal but said it was not “open season” to paint the city’s streets.
However, the administration also said it takes each mural on a case-by-case basis if an applicant goes through the proper application process.
City Hall and the Department of Transportation have repeatedly avoided answering whether the mayor submitted a DOT application before he moved forward with painting “Black Lives Matter” street murals around the city.
“Let’s be clear: It’s not open season to paint our streets. The DOT has an application process, and requests must go through their site. Black Lives Matter is a moral statement. For all lives to matter, we must first make clear that Black lives matter. That is why we approved the murals and met those words with actions,” the mayor’s press secretary, Bill Neidhardt, told the Advance/SILive.com last week.
DOT said it was giving LoBaido seven business days from the cease and desist letter it sent the artist on July 22 to tell the agency in writing how he plans to remove the blue line.
But LoBaido’s spokesperson, Leticia Remauro, said his response to DOT was his latest piece of art.
In response to LoBaido’s latest ploy, DOT spokesman Scott Gastel said: “DOT did not provide authorization for the line to be painted.”
LoBaido’s latest artwork will be auctioned on his website. Bidding will end Aug. 8 at 7 p.m."

This morning 770am radio had Scott on and he is refusing to take the paint off as ordered by Mayor DiBlasio and the DOT . For that matter he will be out this weekend giving it a fresh new coat of Police Blue paint . An assortment of notable attorneys have been giving him free advice and will represent him if need be .
It seems that his attorneys have found out from the DOT that the Mayor did not even apply for the permits to paint Black Lives Matters in front of the Trump Towers and now Scott is counter sueing DiBlasio for harassment and discrimination . And he will not remove his blue paint until DiBlasio gets rid of the illegal BLM wording.
Scott has also called for a mass protest in 2weeks in NYC against the Mayors policies and wants his resignation . He is expecting better than 40, 000 to show and quite possibly more . Place and time to be announced .

Go get him Scott and honorable NYC residents .

It's not "open season to paint our streets" but it's open season to block them and burn down buildings along them.

It's not "open season to paint our streets" but it's open season to block them and burn down buildings along them.

Indeed.

De Blasio didn’t get a permit and the DOT didn’t tell him to remove his BLM painting.

Seems "open season" to do things depends on whether or not the action fits the left wing agenda.

Many people will not be voting Democrat ever again. Democrats are no longer an American political party, they are an enemy of Americans.

Oh hell yes...indeed.

Just look at the Democrat controlled cities where riots, burning, looting, assaults and murders are happening. Those Democrats in control refuse to end this and refuse help by the Feds.

Just look at the Democrat sanctuary cities where illegals (non-citizens) are protected, their open borders, their defunding of the police, abolishing of ICE and on and on and on.

Enemy of the people indeed.

[CFM]

Looks like DeBlasio has a yellow stripe painted down his back.

[Earl]

Middle Americans elect presidents and they are beginning to see Democrats for what they are.

A group of traitors who want to destroy Capitalism end all police functions, import millions of illegals and change this Constitutional Republic into Venezuela or Cuba or China.

I belive Middle Americans will say no to Democrats in November.

[Practical]

I just got a funny feeling the fix is in for this November and Biden and whomever is running him will walk away with the election. Got a hunch that ballots will continue to be found until he wins. Didn't they do that with Al Franken?

[RB 60]

When Trump debates Biden, he should ask him if he supports these actions. And if his far left constituency does.

[John Barron]

Many people will not be voting Democrat ever again. Democrats are no longer an American political party, they are an enemy of Americans.

Many people will not be voting Republican ever again. Republicans that support Trump are the enemy of Americans.
