Unsightly signs are back
Todd Bailey
firefighter and voter

Unsightly campaign signs are back in Woodinville and outside the city and voting limits.

The Woodinville City Council candidates are doing it again. Recently the Woodinville Weekly ran an article about the campaign signs and tampering. These signs are ugly and the mass number that one candidate puts out in a block detracts from the beauty of our city and surrounding area. We as a community complained to you, the candidates, the first time you did it and some of you have not learned that we the voters don’t like it.

Why would we want to support a city council person or a candidate who believes that Woodinville should have their graffiti-like signs plastered all over the place. Some of the candidates are posting in areas that are not in the city limits, like around the Woodinville Costco area, which is outside the city limits.

I for one will not vote for anyone who believes in defacing our city; I hope and ask that others follow my lead. The signs tell us nothing of the candidate.

What are your views why should we vote for you? Your signs only tell us: the name of the person who wants to make our city look tacky and ugly, that you like to waste money, you have disregard for the environment and natural resources, you are not a community planner and with the signs blocking the view of drivers at intersections and distracting motorists you have disrespect for the safety of the community and its people.

I know you have the right to post your signs, but do it responsibly. Post your signs within your voting area and place one sign in a block. The multiple signs 10 or 20 in a block make me think you are just an idiot and you insult me by thinking I am an idiot like you. Please take down the multiple signs and return Woodinville back into the beautiful and safe community it was before you put up your thousands of ugly and dangerous signs.
