Voters: Time to Remove Campaign Signs

Weigh in with your thoughts on our Soapbox blog.

Now that Election Day is behind us, voters have a message for candidates: take down the campaign signs – the sooner the better.

What do you think is a reasonable time frame for all the political campaign camps to start cleaning up those yard and pole signs used in the campaign? One week? 48 hours?

We posted the question on Facebook and received the following comments:

Lisa Wellenreuther Immediately!!! They should be fined for every sign not picked up. Absolute disgrace with the amount of signs this year! Waste of money!

Pete Dattolo Now!!

Gloria Cruz Mathey they should begin today and be completed no later than Friday or face fines of $1000 per sign. The money should be placed back in the community with events and programs for kids. Something constructive for them to do after school and should things other than sports.

Robert LeBlanc The costs involved should come from their campaign funds, not tax payers.

Joe Savino Start today
