Election season is over for another year. Walking past the elementary school up the road this morning, Wylie and I counted approximately 60 campaign signs still on display in front of the school. (Perhaps someone thinks the kids are voting today?)
The election ended last night. Granted, there’s a lot of signs out there, so I’m willing to wait 24 hours for them to get cleaned up. But those signs are ugly. Starting Thursday, I think all the candidates (successful or otherwise) should be required to pay a fine of $5 per sign per day for every campaign sign still on display on public land.
I’ll bet that would get the trash picked up a lot faster. 🙂

The signs up by the school are gone. Obviously, one of the candidates read this and realized the only way to avoid bankruptcy was to hurry up and get rid of the signs near all the schools post-haste.
Perhaps that’ll get the rest of them cleaned up too.
