    His job demands high visibility - By Stephen Kiehl, Baltimore Sun
    O'Brien is one of a few full-time sign-planters in Maryland, a role he does not take lightly. 'Everyone sort of respects the Sign Boy because you're just out there doing brutal work all day,' he said. 'Whenever someone needs something done, Sign Boy just does it.'

    Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley's campaign also has a staffer whose full-time job is putting up signs, as well as an experienced sign crew in the form of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters. The union endorsed O'Malley, and its members have assisted in assembling and setting up signs. About 3,000 4-by-8 O'Malley signs have been set up across the state, according to the campaign.
