Signs,signs everwhere a sign blockin out the scenery ........really?

Sometimes an issue can try to steal an election. Because of what was perceived as excessive sign usage during the last civic election some one somewhere made the decision to strictly enforce the city's sign by law in the weeks leading up to the fall  election. Feelings have been running high in some quarters and while everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, the ``kerfuffle`` around Councils recent action seems to be distracting from  a focus on the real issues.
 With a major public forum just two days away should we not be considering questions for the candidates to find out what they really think can be done to improve the quality of life for those who have chosen to make Vernon their home.
Honestly for this candidate, the proliferation of election signs are a reminder of the freedom we have to choose our governments. A freedom that is precious. See you at the all Candidates Forum Tuesday at the Performing Arts Center doors open early at 6:00 pm if you would like to chat. The forum starts at 7:00PM.
Cheers,
Shawn Lee
Candidate for Vernon City Council  http://www.vernonmorningstar.com/news/280373602.html
