Disappointing Island Politics

Post by Brad »

Someone has removed our sign "Community Interest, Not Self Interest" from Mcauley's Rd and the East Side Rd junction. One can't help, but be diasappointed in the juvenile and illegal approach that person has taken to important island issues and this election. Rational and reasonable discussion of the issues will get us where we need to go, not thoughtless vandalism. We need to be better than this.

Putting it back up would be a good place to start.

Not sure if this fits the bill:

750.385 Malicious destruction of property; signs, bills and notices placed on private property.

Sec. 385.

Destroying and injuring signs, bills and notices placed on private propertyâ??Any person who shall wilfully tear down, destroy or in any manner deface any signs, bill or notices on any private lands of this state, or on any lots or premises in any township, city or village shall be guilty of a misdemeanor: Provided, That such signs, bill or notices are not in violation of any general law of the state or municipal ordinance, and were placed by the owner or lessee or by their consent.
