Although yard signs don't vote, they do communicate.
I've noticed that couple of city council candidates have placed their signs in public right-of-ways, at commercial developments and large multi-family developments; all prominent locations with high visibility.
Signs in public right-of-ways are prohibited according to Longmont City Code — communicating the candidate's flagrant disregard of following the rules. Signs at developments communicate where that candidate's allegiances is. Who knew yard signs could speak so clearly?
