Campaign Signs Make A Comeback

Thank God for Joe H.

Now I can dust off my 1976 "CARTER: A Leader, For a Change" sign.

"...the duration of how long a political sign can be put out...."

God bless lawyers! A laff a minute!

shhh...
Son't anyone tell our town officials or attorney, but........you can't suspend enforcement of a town ordinance..no more than the state can suspend the enforcement of a state statute...Perhaps no one will realize, that you can't do this. But then again, Montclair has a lot of smart people, who probably already know.

"As Township Attorney Trembulak completes his extensive research on this"...I am using this unexpected opportunity to put my "LaRouche in 2012" sign on my front lawn for all to see. Thanks, Mr. Harnett!

So the question becomes, why didn't Trembulak do his homework the FIRST time around and inform the council correctly? Why did it require residents of Montclair to do Trembulak's job for him? And how much are we paying him for this?

I believe that we are paying Trembulak $100,000 per year to do very little. At the very least he should pay those who have done his research for their time and expertise, without them, he would be lost. And, no, he did not know this before residents brought this to their attention. Shame on them, shame on them all, for forcing the residents of Montclair to do what they get paid to do.

All these lawn sign posts make me want to express myself through the art of... lawn signs.

What should mine say?

Welcome Home Dad - thanks for fighting in Vietnam

I drink (a lot) and I vote

I have to say, under the guise of protecting us from ourselves or not offending someone, this has become one of the most uptight, regulated, stick in the mud free countries in the world. One of the prime examples being restrictive covenants such as homeowner associations. Just because we are densely populated is no reason for this uniformity drive, the dummying down of public eccentricity.
My sister lived in a place in Virginia where your rural type mail box had to be "This", if you put a bovine decorated box out you were fined and they would remove it and bill you for replacing it. I'm not saying there isn't a reasonable you "go too far", it just seems everything is to far PC these days and no good will come from it.
There were people in Montclair who brought action against a neighbor for their natural wild flower landscaping, another didn't like the color the house was painted.
So now it's how long a political sign is on your property, well if you let your property deteriorate to the point of "derelict", somebody should step in; you start presidential primaries two years before the election, why can't I put up my choice on my property?
