Reader reminds candidates to get permission before putting signs on private property

Scott Korbett, Letter to the Editor

As election season approaches, I would like to remind candidates that if they would like to put signs up on private property, it would be a good idea to get permission from the land owner.  If you are not sure if the land is public, then figure it out.

We recently had a candidate put a sign on our business property as well as our personal property.  Most likely he believes it is an empty lot, or public property.

When in doubt, ask… you might be surprised with the conversation that follows.
