Write-In candidates and illegal Campaign signs

By: Diane Benjamin I’m posting these GOP write-in candidates again because I keep getting asked: Either some candidates don’t know the law or are ignoring it: https://ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet90/sbgroups/sb/900SB0655LV.html Democrat running as a Republican Amy McFarland has two signs on public property at the corner of Streid Drive and White Eagle.

Campaign Signs

Update: https://blnnews.com/2021/03/12/campaign-signs-still-there/ For those running for office: It is ILLEGAL to put campaign signs on government property.

The person who saw the sign this morning reported it to Code Enforcement at 9:30am.  At 4:00 pm […]

Is Karen Schmidt trying to hide her liberal?

By:  Diane Benjamin Most people who care enough about  political candidates to put a sign in their yard want to make sure everybody sees the signs. Isn’t that the purpose of having signs? Maybe there is a sign thief in the neighborhood, so she doesn’t want them too obvious.  I remember Kevin Lower’s signs disappeared […]
