Lawn signs are the most visible part of election season. I've planted (and picked up) hundreds of them in legal places. The old saying "Signs don't vote" is partially true. They have some value and give some sense of where a property owner's sentiments lay. They can get out of hand especially when a property owner decides to have some fun by posting a lot of them including for competing candidates like here.
But illegally placed signs in the street tree median strips (city property) and, say, the Caltrans right of way just demonstrate inexperience. One would think a Caltrans employee would know where the right of way is and not plant his signs on it. Gotta love the Caltrans hard hat in the photo.
You're killin' me Joe...this one is a keeper.

It's pretty hard to get fired from Caltrans but this guy might have found a way.

Burlingame residence bashing and making fun of a new candidate. A totally bias and very mean article with the same kind of comments. Bullying knows no boundaries.

You are absolutely right, Pete. Mea culpa to Mr. Paul, I'm sure nobody intended to bully anyone. It is Silly Season for sure.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Education is not bullying.

What a stupid article.

This post is fine. Campaign signs should be posted legally. Of course the home owner may have put it in the median strip, not the campaign

Could the guy at least pick up his signs after A WEEK?
