Against political signs
Thursday, August 28, 2008
Seems like this is a constant problem. Political candidates' campaign signs are posted on public space. Both King County and City of Seattle campaign guidelines specifically spell out that campaign signs are not to be posted on public spaces.
These signs become a double problem first when posted and second when the campaigns never clean-up, so we look at these illegal signs until they evaporate. I am certain that our neighborhood is not unique with signs posted on green medians which are clearly public spaces.
These are the people we are asked to entrust with decision making and leadership, yet they do not seem to be able or willing to lead their campaign staffs. I make a list of candidates who post these signs before I vote to remind me not to vote for them.
