Democratic Campaign Signs Stolen by Highway Department in Georgetown

Scott County democrats have heard several complaints of campaign signs stolen from or vandalized on private property. Republican campaign signs under similar conditions were left in place.

 

The signs pictured above were all reported to us as having been stolen; they turned up, not reported to us, at the dumpsters at the highway Department’s salt storage facility off Main Street extension in Georgetown. As these signs were not originally posted in any way violating laws regarding distance from roadway, etc., and as they were on private property and found dumped for disposal at the Highway Department, it must be assumed that at least one Highway Department employee is guilty of trespass and theft. However, given the number of complaints we have received, as well as the number of signs not all coming from the same location, it is entirely conceivable that this represents an organized effort by government employees on government time.
