Sign Weeds Pt 4: A New Twist On The Sign Front

   The political signs around Oracle will be gone in ten days or so. There will be winners and losers declared sometime after the votes are counted on election day and around then most of the signs will likely be trashed.

  Some property owners like Kaz and myself objected to the posting of signs by campaigns we don't support in front of land we own. Pictured above are signs of candidates we do support. There's a story behind the switchout.
  Several weeks ago signs appeared in this location endorsing our adversaries.  I asked Supervisor McClure at a public meeting what to do in just such a case.  He suggested calling the campaigns in question (then calling him if one or more of the campaigns failed to take action).
  That's exactly what we did and, guess what, we got an apology for and immediate removal of the offending signage without calling our Supervisor.  It turned out that a long time friend of ours on the other side of Oracle's political divide stepped in to coordinate the much appreciated response.
