The vacancies cause certiorari’s—less taxes to the school district, fire district and town governments. Your input at this meeting is welcome and appreciated.



SHOULD THE TOWN REQUIRE ALL CANDIDATES TO POST A BOND WITH THE TOWN IF THEY ARE GOING TO PLACE CAMPAIGN SIGNS AROUND THE TOWN AND SHOULD CANDIDATES BE REQUIRED TO REMOVE SIGNS WITHIN FIVE DAYS AFTER AN ELECTION IS HELD? (BOND WOULDN’T BE RETURNED IF ALL THE SIGNS HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED? I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES! To be discussed Tuesday!

Fed Up With Feiner said...

Your "idear" to impose penalties for not removing political campaign signs is ironic since Feiner & Friends were the last signs to come down during their last campaign and I don't believe they or their campaign workers removed them...the public removed them in disgust!

Not only should there be a fine but the Town should designate certain areas of Town where campaign material may be placed so that they are not scattered all over the place. Each campaign season seems to get worse with this visual litter. Central Avenue in particular had more signs than blades of grass. Most of them are still there this morning.

Feiner should be the last person to complain about this since he is famous for plastering our Town with his signs during campaigns. He even had bumper stickers on West Taxi vehicles which should be a violation of the ethics code as the town has to license these vehicles. Just another example of how rules and laws apply to everyone but Feiner!
