Campaign signs have no business on public property


By Lethbridge Herald on May 12, 2023.

Editor:

 Why do we allow political campaign signs on public property? This property should be neutral ground. If not, the group with the most signs gets the most visibility. 

Why would we as taxpayers allow for this situation to occur? On private property, people can display signs if they so wish. 

As for billboards in the city and other public spaces, it should be even distribution. Not a question of who has more money. 

I realize that the situation can get complicated, but I am annoyed to see signs (mostly of a single party) lining Scenic Drive, University Drive etc.

In my opinion, there should be none on such road edges or in other public spaces belonging to the city and citizens.
