Political signs set double standard

As I drive along Dishman-Mica, I am disgusted by the littering of signs by political candidates. In some areas there are signs for the same candidate every 20 feet, maybe even closer.

Some of the candidates are the same people trying to put restrictions on businesses and their signs. What a double standard. How it is OK for a political candidate to use signs not only for political but financial gain while honest businesses are getting picked on for their signs?

Many of the candidates have voiced concern for our city and their desire to make it attractive to new businesses. Attractive is the last thing that comes to my mind when I see the myriad of signs lining every available corner and stretch of land.

Candidates should get out and earn votes by making a real impact on our community. The political signs on public lands really are mocking our intelligence. Do candidates really think that if we see their name we will vote for them?

These signs should be used on private property as a sign of support. I personally will not vote for any candidate who places their signs on public lands. I can only hope that I will be able to vote in the upcoming election.
