Campaign signs running rampant once again I have noticed another plague of political signs has arrived in our city. There are literally dozens put up illegally in the public right of way; stuck in fences, taped to poles and installed on our roadsides. This not only shows a total disregard for our community, but also the law prohibiting this practice. Some of the candidates have lowered themselves to putting stickers on our public signs as well. The one thing the candidates have in common is their unilateral denial of responsibility and claims of lack of control over their own signs. It makes me wonder how they will handle issues far more complicated if they can’t control their own sign installers and campaign workers. I would like to see all of the illegally signs removed and recycled immediately. It occurs to me the money would be better spent on brochures that define their views and goals instead of simple name recognition and maybe a catch phrase. These signs show a tendency to waste money when we all need officials who can save money! I fail to see the benefit of this antiquated practice and have seen neighbors alienated over the placement and views of yard signs. Please do your part to rid our city of this visual blight and waste of material. — Chris Cott, Windansea
