As my faithful readers know, Mike, my husband, is running for San Leandro School Board. As part of his campaign, he had some beautiful lawn signs (designed by Y.Day Designs) made. Mike's supporters have been placing them around town, including at the gated community where both Pete Lismer (Mike's opponent) and one of our friends live. Almost as soon as Mike's signs go up, they are taken down again. This has happened time after time. Your guess as to who is responsible for that is as good as mine.
It's pretty sad that people have to play dirty politics, and dirty their hands even to the extent of stealing lawn signs. Committing a crime for the less than marginal possibility that it will make a difference in the result of the campaign? Just how unethical - and pathetic - do you have to be to do that? I guess only the sign thief really knows.
