The speaker added that if it&#8217;s moved from Highway 80, they could make the sign even bigger. The out-of-state group says the sign&#8217;s location violates separation of church and state. Mayor Will Rogers wants to fight the group. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HAWKINS &#8212; The debate heats up over a sign on Hawkins city property.
