Church Billboard: 'Scumbags Welcome!'

On one of the busiest roads in Lake County, one big billboard is delivering one shocker after another and stirring up controversy.

The giant display reads "Scumbags Welcome!" and it recently popped up on Highway 441 between Tavares and Leesburg where thousands of drivers can't miss it.
