BOSTON–Billboard crusader Lou Nickinello has apparently been relieved of his duties as president of AK Media’s Massachusetts office in Stoneham.





Nickinello, a former Massachusetts state representative known for placing inspirational messages on area billboards, was put on an indefinite ‘paid personal leave of absence,’ according to company representative Roseanne Marks.





Nickinello could not be reached for comment.





Marks declined to discuss Nickinello’s sudden exit and employees have been instructed not to talk to the media, ‘or else,’ according to a source inside the company.





Randy Swain, the president of AK Media Northwest in Seattle, is acting interim president.
