Heavy-duty yard signs turned up on multi-unit building lawns on the 300 South Oak Park Avenue block, for a high school board candidate (whose robo-call was received here a day or so ago) and candidates for village board and park district — seven or eight in all, to catch the busy, busy, southbound traffic.
At least one landlord was neither asked nor informed about the signs. Dirty pool in Oak Park! Illegal!
Later: I should have identified the candidates whose supporters are violating the longstanding unwritten rule that a lawn sign indicates voter support, not candidate’s self-support, being placed on a voter’s private property by the voter.
Shame! on people connected with:
* the VMA-related village slate
* the Bracco-Graves park district ticket
* OPRF board candidate Jacques Conway
This in addition to planting signs on property without owner’s consent, as happened in at least one instance, as mentioned above.
