Who stole my radio?
I put out a few of my political signs in my brother's yard and a friend's yard and now they are gone. If this is a new enforced sign ordinance then I do not believe that these restrictions relate to private property. It seems that anytime someone wants to get progressive in this town then Rick Holland the coward that he is wants to run around like a little girl and get someone to do his dirty work. This time it was the code enforment officer which is probably the only positive thing that he has ever done other than riding all over town wasting my gas. Put the person out to pasture. I am checking with an attorney to see if the signs are on private property than I can sue for tresspass. So Rick if you want to play than come on out and quit hiding like you did when you got your draft card. (lol)
If you have something to say to me than be man enought to say it to my face but you are to much of a coward to do that.
I have plenty of other ideals that will be playing out in the near future that you can cry about.
Oh! and to all the city employees I will not fire you if you elect me mayor as rick will be putting the word out soon.

you people are way to serious for me. if you are this serious about a post you should have rolled with me in the parrot's peak where I helped body bag some two hundred of my fellow soldiers. God Bless America and hug a vet the next time you get a chance.

Don,
Please describe the missing radio.
From what location was it stolen?
How do you know that the radio was stolen and not merely misplaced?

it would appear that a certain portion of your clothing is in a wad which seems to make you really love to pay those high utility rates. At least one person seems to want to vote for the status quote.

this post had nothing to do with the sign ordinance it had to do with folks asking to do something and I felt compeled to do so.
Brad Moore said:I do not have any details specific to your situation. Most cities have a "Sign Ordinance" that affects private property.
Benton's sign ordinance regulates "political signs" limiting their display to 90 days prior to the election until 14 days after the election and additional regulation regarding their placement in the city's right-of-way, line-of-sight obstruction and public safety concerns (obstructed view of traffic).
I hope this helps...

Actually Don, It is not I who has anything in a wad, look to yourself about that phenomenon and while I appreciate the fact that you think my undies would sway the cost of my utilities, please tell me how and i will do it.. I just find it strange that someone that wants our votes for Mayor continually bursts into violent threats. You also continue WAY Over the top outbursts,name calling and hateful comments to the very people you would be supervising . Yes, in effect you would be the voters,chiefs of various departments,employees and citizens, actual supervisor, which is why I used that term.
I will repeat, why do you feel the need to wish a former Chief of police would use his gun to blow his brains out? (council meeting), Call councilmen "BOY" in a derogatory manner and demean all other branches of the military, except the one you served and now you start a diatribe about the Mayor being chicken, little girl and coward and not respecting anyone? THAT is certainly not the way to get anyone to vote for you. It is not about you baggin bodies and being a war vet.. That is your answer for anyone that does not agree with you.. I appreciate the fact that you served, I appreciate ALL veterans of ANY war, fight, incident or other military endeavor. With that said, please do not use that as tool to beat us on the head and try to guilt us into voting for you. ACTIONs and WORDS are just as powerful, I feel my friend that you need some mental assistance with these outbursts, anger management classes at the very least.
I realize this will set you off on a long diatribe about how pathetic we non-military ungrateful snots are and how awesome you were in combat , the gruesome things you did,and so forth.. please just take it as WE HEARD YOU and YES we know war is hell.. plus I hug my grandpa's, uncles and cousins who did serve in ALL branches of the service not just the army .. Please just move on.
P.S. I hope you find your radio.. did you look out by the utility poles? I hope you turned it off, would hate for you to be wasting electricity, it cost so much and it really concerns me, won't get me to vote for you though.. just saying...

Roger,
Thank you for posting the court opinion. It seems to be particularly on point in regard to Benton’s sign ordinance.
For you Bentonites to busy to read the opinion, the court is saying that a sign ordinance that is predicated on content is an unlawful infringement of free speech.
Since Benton’s sign ordinance places a disadvantage to signs that contain political speech that does not apply to all signs, I conclude that it is unlawful regulation. I would suggest that Mayor Holland instruct code officers to stop enforcing those provisions that can only be determined by referring to the sign content. Maybe he should return any signs that were removed or offer to pay the cost of replacement. I wonder if the City Attorney would defend the ordinance.
Freedom not exercised is freedom soon lost.

The last I heard the signs were next to the PD. Code Enforcement did not throw them away as of Friday Afternoon they were still down there to be picked up from what I was told. Hope this helps. :)

I am curious as to what parts of Bentons sign Ordinance place political signs at a disadvantage? Is it the part that limits how far ahead of the Election they can be put out?
Honestly, putting signs out 10 months before an election seems wasteful. Save your money Don and put them out about 3 months prior.
And Harper, I'm too stupid to understand the court decision, not too busy to read it. Start knockin us stupid people and I'm sure there's some Gov't agency I can sic on you.
