My family was heavily involved in campaigning in every level of government when I was growing up. One of the things we would do as kids is put up signs and we were always told never to put one up on public property as there was a fine involved.
Now on election day, some campaigns that had extra signs would sometimes get us to put them on public property, and then take them down first thing in the morning. It was pretty common of all candidates so I guess they were just playing the odds that 1 day wouldn't be a big deal.
I have no idea if that has changed now, but whenever I see someone with a wack of signs running down the boulevard into MacKenzie Towne or rounding the traffic circle, it always gives me a sour taste in my mouth.
