Help eliminate blight


Help eliminate blight—eliminate all political yard signs and illegal political billboard signs in Lake Worth

Every election we go through the same things—

1. Signs placed on the swale or public property, not on private property
2. Signs placed too close to the sign next to it.
3. Too many signs on a property
4. Political Billboard signs that are on public property--PROHIBITED
5. Signs being removed by opponents campaign workers
6. Signs covered up by an opponent’s sign
7. Signs tacked to a utility pole, etc.

I say eliminate all signs within the City of Lake Worth. They just cause further blight.

A fact of the matter is, every candidate is given a packet of instructions and information when he files for office. Political Action Committees get one also. We know from several years ago that Billboard political signs are prohibited under our law. If candidates don’t know or care about the basics of running for office, then I ask, is this someone we want to elect?

Commissioner Vespo got a certified copy of our signage law from the City Clerk dated August 27, 2007. He is obviously aware of the law as are all candidates.

Remember these Doubts About Dave on November 4.
