Hey Dermot, how 'bout something called the First Amendment. People, including political candidates and their supporters have a right to free speech and freedom of the press, meaning they can print as many signs as they want to and show them in any public place, subject to the time, place, and manner restrictions created by the US Supreme Court. This means that most of the political sign law is unconstitutional. And, personally, I wouldn't expect poltical candidates, no matter who they are, to follow illegal laws. This is particularly true if the sign is placed on private property.

On Candidates should take action now to do away with illegal political signs

Scott - you seem nice enough, but I don't think you're really cut out for this. You are blinded by your left-wing rhetoric and haven't come up with a fresh approach since entering politics. And what is so hard to figure out about the $1200 check? It is not energy welfare. It's a resource rebate. I know your love for liberalism makes you want it to be welfare but, alas, it is not. I couldn't care less if somebody from Anchorage wants to buy a plasma tv with their $1200 because it is that person's equal share of the excess oil revenue. They are free to spend it however they choose. I find it terribly ironic that liberals claim to be about freedom, then want to tell you how to live your life.

We need good people on the Borough Assembley - people who will stop taxing the hell out of us. I'd like to see somebody axe the property tax and replace it with a seasonal sales tax. You'd have to run the numbers to see if it would work, but I think it's a fairer form of taxation. Paying a property tax is, essentially, paying rent to the government. It's getting government persmission to remain on land you've bought and paid for. Let's see the FNSB Assembley handle that issue.
