When Madison County Judge Tony Leago was released from the hospital last week, he returned home to find this welcome sign displayed in the front of his yard. While the individuals who were responsible firsthand for orchestrating the act wished to remain anonymous, they did state there were almost 100 people who wanted to do something to welcome the Judge home.
