The silly season of politics

Well into the last week before the May primary in Ohio, we again are treated to the phenomenom that de-beautifies the roadsides far and wide in Lucas County, this being the
placing of yard signs in the public right of way. It appears that many empty lots, fields,
and corners have decided to support various candidates for public office , and not quite so many households have decided to do the same.

I know the idea is to increase your name recognition, but I feel it is difficult to choose to support those who blatantly disregard the codes and regulations which are in place for the placement of
yard signs.

Just a word to those who are running for office. Please inform your volunteers of the rules regarding the placement of these signs, and clean up the right of way for all of us to enjoy.

Make sure the signs are set back inside the utility poles, and make certain to get the approval of property owners before placing your placards. Follow the rules and you may just get my vote this November.
