Just had this happen to me, went to run an errand and when i got back there was a sign out front. Was gone maybe 20 minutes, They must work quick. Are these people not supposed to ask permission to put up a sign?

I started a thread about this about a month ago. I ended up cutting the sign down.

i live on the corner of two highways and routinely get political or garage sale type signs put in my yard without permission. I take them down with the quickness.

Does your company own the building? If not, your landlord may have given permission. If not, set it on fire. (the sign, not the landlord or building).

We've had people do it from time to time here... they all go straight to the dumpster.

You must be in a good spot. They figure its a 50-50 shot.

But I would take it down. A business openly picking sides is not a good thing for customers.

Make your own sign saying to vote for the other guy b/c this guy doesn't follow the rules.

If you really don't like it and it becomes a problem, report it to your election board.

It's illegal

Wow. I would be so pissed. Of course, the only way I would put up a political yard sign would be if my wife, parents or a close friend was running for office.

They might have got permission from the landlord who owns the building
