Campaign signs placed illegally
I have just come home from removing Chester Bullock signs from a commercial property that I own, for the second time this week. First, there was a property on SR 64 and then today in downtown Palmetto.
The worse part of this is that I already had signs up on both properties supporting Charlie Hackney. Mr. Hackney had called me personally and requested permission to put signs up and I was happy for him to do so.
This guy went out and put one up touching each of the Hackney signs. What nerve his must have.
What kind of politician goes around trespassing on private property putting up signs without permission? I certainly do not support him or his tactics. Anyone out there who saw the signs on my property, please know I took them down and that I didn’t want them there to begin with.
Doesn’t he know that by having signs on your property you are expressing your support for that candidate? I don’t know where this guy showed up from but as far as I am concerned he can go back.
Maybe you should check to see if Bullock illegally invaded your property and posted signs; tear them down like I did, and then ask Charlie Hackney for one to replace it!
