From a Shark....My wife wanted me to go to Home Depot to buy some plywood( hurricane ).
Sooo..Instead of waiting in line for 5 hours for 10 sheets (max per customer) at my local Home Depot..
I know where I can pickup up as much plywood I could want FOR FREE.....
IT IS AMAZING how many of the illegal political signs or made of 3/4 inch plywood....

To Everybody Concerned;
Our roadways are being attacked by ugly signs placed by arrogant
business' and individuals who don't care or bother to check the local
zoning laws. This problem is getting way out of hand and could be
addressed by funding acquired from fines levied on the offenders. Any
law not enforced ends up being ignored because "The other guy can do it
... why cant I?
The campaign headquarters of those running for office should have
educated their volunteers as to where they can place their signs. You
would think that the negative image would counteract any benefit the
signs bring.
I would like to see an active approach to the clean up of existing
signs, fines given to offending business' and individuals and funding
for maintaining a program that insures our roadways are not abused by
anyone (including persons running for office).
I will continue to remove any roadside litter I see and will pay close
attention to offenders and will not let them benefit from littering our
roadways. (I will not patronize or vote for a litterbug.)
Another help would be to educate law enforcement officers that these
signs are litter and anyone removing them is not breaking any law. I
was forced by Officer Gay of the Palm Beach County Sheriffs office to
return three signs of an offender who had placed For Sale By Owner
Signs at the entrance of a development on Big Blue Trace in
Wellington. This offender was so bold as to chain his signs to a tree,
cover them in syrup, and complain of theft to the sheriffs office when
I removed them. The officer was uninformed as to what constitutes
litter.
Thank you for your time and will look forward to any help you can offer
our community and its aesthetics.
From a spammer.Who gives you the right to remove and take in your possesion
any staked sign, regardless if it is illegal or not? You are nothing
more than a thief. If I park a car on the right of way, do you have the
right to hook it up to your truck and take it home with you?? I will
tell you this, I will put my signs out again and monitor them closley.
If I catch you steaking my signs, I will press charges agains you and
anyone members of your cult. Remember, I may be breaking the law by
having my sign in the righ of way, but you are breaking the law by
stealing them! Look forward to seeing you at the next intersection!!
This spammer needs to listen to Palm Beach County Commissioner Burt Aaronson's Comments(click link below)
On September 14 I appeared before the County Commissioners during matters by the public.
I did a powerpoint presentation on snipesigns. A 20 minute discussion followed. I don't know
what kind of action they will take(if any), however most of them voiced concerns about the problem.
If you have a quick connection...
Check out the powerpoint presentation
Listen to Commissioner Burt Aaronson’s comments at the Board of County Commissioners meeting
on September 14, 2004 regarding illegal signs in the right-of-way. CLICK HERE
Ignorance of the law is no excuse.As a businessman, when they choose to advertise their venture,
they should be aware of, and obey the laws regarding signage.
These Businesses have NO RIGHT to litter the roadways of Palm Beach County.
If they continue to behave as outlaws, then they should be treated as such….
