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.

the radio was a metaphor for my missing signs.

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.

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.

You know you flatter me as I seem to have so much control over you. If you had the knowledge that I have with the City you would know where I am coming from. If you are married, which I doubt, I will say a little prayer for the unlucky man or woman you are attached. Get the facts straight and you will be a smarter person.

I would suggest getting a job. Oh! how about those utility rates. Know how to solve that problem am
nd maybe your guy does too but I doubt it as you appear to be A MEMBER of the status quo.
Chris said:

seeing "progressive" and some puny warrantless attack on the code enforcement guys in a post... plenty enough to know someone aint gettin a vote. good luck.

if it was code enforcement, you may want to brush up on city ordinances before you run for mayor. think about it, you have overgrown grass on your private property, yet Benton can fine you for it... you are surprised that signs must be a certain distance away from the road or have time lines for their display? doesn't matter if you own the property or not.

What you said. It appears that some people think that they (not you) use this board as a venting place and take things way to serious. The police and fire got the big shaft and all I am trying to do is ease the pain by having the cap on health insurance done away with or tabled to a date indefinite (which I am against because I already have a remedy for it which will cost the employees of Benton no out of pocket monies) and the serious lack of pay. We need to get this town back to the issues that benebfit the many and not the few.
