Election Day and

the signwatchers were out there:


A new illegally-placed Iya Falcone sign was spotted, right in front of Rep. Capps' home, in front of the legal Blum sign. Gets high marks for chutzpah, if nothing else.


Grant House had an illegal sign on 517 Stanley.


Another report came in of 4 illegal PUEBLO signs at about Bath/Micheltorena. Only one new one was found on Bath Street - and the previously cited one stuck on the power pole on Micheltorena, doing double service as a garage sale notice.



Perennial signage scofflaws, at least for some of their signs, Ebenstein-Tyler signs remain on Las Positas, but, mirable dictu, small scale of such things, the Terry Tyler sign on E. Mission has been moved to the fence.

Positive news from two reporters:
"A first in modern day elections. All I did today was look for trouble--and I found none."

And from another: "At 0930 this morning, NO signs posted outside the 2 large precincts at Harding School Recreation Center,nor in the public parkway on the same Gillespie Street.

During the election Nov. 2004, lots of all kinds of signs were there, easily within 50 feet of the door to the voting room."

This correspondent also wrote: "A more detailed report on candidates and proposition signage violations would be great a few days after the election, especially to note which illegally placed signs do not get removed even days later."


This blog will remain open. City sign law, quoted below, requires that signs be down by 10 days after the election.
