Please be aware that if political signs are found on public property, they will be removed and not returned to the candidate.
who enforces this i got lots to report
Enforced by Engineering, Building, and Police departments. Take your pick.
“shall not be permitted to be placed on any publicly owned property,” including the planting strips between the curbs and sidewalks.”
Here’s one to report, riding around saw a Josh sign on Midwood, grass strip between curb & sidewalk.
Really looks tacky in residential areas.
This provision of the aforementioned ordinance is unconstitutional and can’t be enforced. The Village’s own attorney said so.
“All campaign signs must be removed immediately following the election.”
October 19th – 7:00 p.m. – Ridgewood Village Hall Court Room – The League of Women Voters sponsors a Candidates’ Night for Candidates for Village Council – Come and listen to the candidates for Village Council answer questions posed by the League of Women Voters.
I am sure no bias here. Candidate is former Director of League of Women Voters. Let the public/voters ask the questions.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights . Yet this organization supports the candidate who took away your right to vote…
lol…
They look like crap, there is no evidence they influence voters and no once cares who you support. Just don’t put them on your lawns. Bunch of knuckleheads.
“They look like crap, there is no evidence they influence voters”
That’s true, but the campaign consultant industry TERRIFIES candidates that they will FAIL if they do not spend large amounts of money on the services these parasites “provide.”
It’s just part of the industry known as………………………… “Jersey Values.”
“no once cares who you support.”
well, it does let you know who are the a55holes in the neighborhood……
agreed. i see some loser with a kerry edwards sticker and obama sticker on his prius with the coexist sticker and blm sticker
The idiot wears a mask while driving alone in the car.
nuff said
Now that “they” have all this mail-in cheating shit down, the traditional lawns signs are just unnecessary.
Some towns are stopping the use of for sale signs from realtors in the front of the Residence homes. Personally I think it’s tacky, and outdated, no need for a sign anymore. Everything is online.
When I moved here, NO signs were permitted, including For Sale and XYZ Painters at Work as well as political messages. I think it was better.
note to village hall; its LONG OVERDUE to have an email address to report violations of all ordinances violations. the water dept did it so why not
report ordinances violations to Building Department – Property Maintenance
whats the email address
i have reported numerous violations in person that have not been addressed
So true, its not the 70&80’s when Sunday people went for a ride to see what house’s were for sale.
