With the pending fall acrimonious election season rapidly approaching, is it really necessary for area politicians to start defecating on lawns with their signage? I take umbrage with those running for office, abusing the spirit of the law for timelines pertaining to when the signs must be taken down yet never considering when they can start putting them up. Just because there’s nothing written into state law doesn’t mean you can pull a ‘trump’ card and place your signage so early in the season – May 18 was the first one I saw – to advertise the position you’re running for.

Trust us constituents: We are keenly aware who you are and what you are running for already. Let us enjoy less visual clutter here in Federal Way.
