Who's going to pick up all the campaign signs after the election?

Thanks

For those of you who don't know, my name is Mark Youngblood. I am President of South Walton Professional Firefighters Assoc.

I hereby promise that all political signs posted by my organization will be removed after the election. (and then some, as usual).

After the primary, we will endeavor to replace the signs supporting the candidates in the decided races with signs in support of the candidates in the undecided races. After the General Election in November we will remove all of our signs. (and then some) even if I have to do it by myself.

I hope you will hold me to it.

Mark Youngblood, President
South Walton Professional Firefighters Assoc.

Thank you Mark for doing the job very few have the b@#$'s to do. You are very appreciated.

Fay has removed some signs near our neighborhood which keeps them from becoming projectiles or littering the area even more than they already are.

I agree with SJ. Placing multiple signs for one candidate within a few feet of each other is simply littering. It's not like we don't have enough signs already.

I will be picking up signs on the 27th.
I voted early.

Cooper, Braunstein, L Jones, Wilkerson, Davis, Anderson

I guess multiple signs are needed for the people who are hard-headed. Maybe the TDC should place about twenty safety signs at each access. (just kidding, don't do it!)

Anywho, I was just thinking, there is no law regarding the timeliness in collecting signs which were illegally placed on the right of way. The law addresses only the signs which are legally placed on private property.

I'm thinking about cleaning up the trash along my road, today.

Poll completed

I spent the weekend at our condo at Miramar this weekend, and there are political signs all over 98. I just wonder when the candidates get beat will they pick their signs up.

I was at the redlight at CVS pharmacy Sunday am, and observed a candidate get out and place a political sign on the right-of-way on hwy 98.

He made a point of placing a sign beside his opponents sign. What really surprised me was he didn't just place one, but several all over S. Walton Sunday am.

Before the question is asked....No, it wasn't a sheriff candidate.

The question I have is......On Scenic 98 and the side streets to Hwy 98 the population is mostly tourist, so what will the candidates gain by plastering signs all over the place?

I have just completed a poll. I cannot show it to you, nor can I tell you who ran it (opps, I guess I just did). Either way the results of the poll show the following:

29% say Adknison should pick up all the signs.
19% say Adkinson and Johnson should pick up all the signs.

50% say all the other candidates (except Cornman 'cause he doesn't live here) will pick up the signs regardless of who wins... That's all folks.:shock:

Local Mosquito Control Commissioner John Magee has come through.

[ame="http://www.sowal.com/bb/showthread.php?t=26860"]Recycle Political Signs - SoWal Beaches Forum[/ame] links to a thread he started, but he is going to be able to handle the recycling of political signs. All we have to do is get them to him. He is recycling the coroplast signs. They need to be off the stands and no nails or brass rings or anything metal.
