We're sorry, but this discussion has just been closed to further replies.
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.

This person wants to be Mayor? Seriously?
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?
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...
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.

Who moved my cheese?
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.
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.
