It says a lot about a candidate when they (or their volunteers) put yard signs in places without the permission of the homeowner. It says they are too lazy to actually meet the homeowner and ask permission, rude enough to trespass and put something on someone's lawn without permission, and wasteful because they know most of the signs will be thrown away anyway.

A volunteer may have inadvertently placed it at the wrong address

You certainly have anger issues, young man.

KF, speaking of Judges, any way you can link up a post on NMC's (I know, I know) commentary on Judge Kitchens getting caught by Mills for LYING on the stand? The more folks that see that, the better.

Crazy 'sumbitch like that is also liable to just straight break into your house, steal your pencils, and kick your dog on the way out.

No anger issues here - if he had anger issues he'd have shot the worthless SOB for desecrating private property.

Probably some idiotic punk teenage kids paid to put them out who are too stupid to know any better. A few years ago a couple were putting out signs for a current madison county supervisor in my old neighborhood. I asked if they had the homeowner's permission, and they said they were putting them between all the houses, and since nobody owns that property, they didnt need anyone's permission. Looked like a couple of real winners.

Back in 07 I had Mac's people put a huge sign in the yard, the kind that you have to hammer those two-by-four looking stakes into the ground. Tyrone Lewis people ripped it out, it took some trouble to do so, and then put down their own signs. I wasn't too happy.

10:09, I've put out signs for candidates. We always knocked on the door to confirm they wanted the sign. 7:50, if you hire kids to do this, you must make certain they don't do that kind of crap.

I'd be upset to come home and find ANY sign in my yard without permission, even a candidate I plan to vote for.

"7:50, if you hire kids to do this, you must make certain they don't do that kind of crap."

Understand and agree 100%. You get what you pay for, and one look at the two kids I referenced would have told anyone with the mental capacity to be a county supervisor not to hire those two to represent him....then again, that could be the root cause of the problem right there.

One benefit of living on a dead end street: no one bothers you with signs.

I have always reasoned that the way a candidate conducts his campaign provides significant insight into the way the candidate would conduct his office, if elected - especially no-name or newby candidates like Trent whoever. If he lacks the judgment necessary to respect other people's private property - or the integrity to take responsibility - I doubt he possesses the discretion or integrity necessary to be an effective judge for the public good.

Ironghost right, and at the back of the neighborhood is also good!

Having done signs for many GOP candidates, we get furnished a locaton and name. I alwys put the sign in then ring the bell and discuss with owner. Sometimes a mistake happens and you remove the sign.

This is terrible, but more obnoxious are the multiple car burglaries that are occurring nightly in Belhaven. It was much better when Mac had the sheriffs cars patrolling all the time.

What annoys me equally is their failure to take the damn signs DOWN after the elections. GRRRRRR HISS!

Cool prizes for those willing to take down the most signs after elections.

Come on KF, Trent Walker couldn't be bothered to file his last mandatory campaign finance report. What makes you think that he would bother to ask before putting up a yard sign?

8:32- Where has his money come from in the prior finance reports? It is a sad state of affairs that there is really no penalty for candidates not filing campaign finance reports on time, or even filing them at all. It makes a joke of the entire system.

Weill's signs are in the public right-of-way throughout NE Jax.
