Yesterday was election day.
The thing that struck me more then anything was driving home, the sheer volume of signs that littered the median. At the corner by the BP station, there were probably a dozen signs advertising "Bill Brady for Governor", "Mark Kirk for Senate" and "Dold for something". Outside of the school where polling was, there were dozens more. All of them -- with one single exception (he was independent) -- were for Republicans.
What really bugs me about this? All these signs were posted on public property. Where I live, it is illegal to post election signs on public property. You can't post them on the medians. You can't post them at a school.
These people are running for office and will be put in a position to write our laws. It would be nice if they actually respected them.
Another quick note ...
I just watched a city-owned truck drive by my office and pick up the abandoned and forgotten election signs. How fitting -- taxpayer money going to clean up the mess left behind by a bunch of Republicans!
