Mr. Nagy, I wouldn't call your involvement much of "a campaign". I think I saw all of one yard sign. No advertising, no appreciable fundraising. Just an attention-getting call for a debate.

As acclaro has alluded to, being contrarian (aka, most MUSA posters) is not a campaign. ]]> Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:43:40 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4205&PID=30680&title=a-tale-of-two-cities#30680 A Tale Of Two Cities : Mr. Nagy,Thank you for offering... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4205&PID=30679&title=a-tale-of-two-cities#30679 Author: Jack Black

Mr. Nagy,
 
Thank you for offering the voters the hope for change and not the continuance of the status quo.
 
May GOD bless you and yours.

You had my vote Paul. Saw Mulligan standing outside old Rosedale school yesterday afternoon as I was entering the gym to vote. He was talking to some fireman holding a "No on Issue 2" sign. As I looked at him and that seemingly smug facial expression he has, I thought about Hunter S. Thompson and his theme of "fear and loathing". Kinda fit at the time. Fear for the future of this town and loathing for the people like him who created this nightmare we are living here. The problem still exists. It has now been extended by the election results. I wait for the final hammer to be brought down on this town. The destruction will continue. It is now a matter of time with no reasonable people on council anymore. Disgusting. ]]> Wed, 09 Nov 2011 06:23:58 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4205&PID=30662&title=a-tale-of-two-cities#30662 A Tale Of Two Cities : Thank you everyone who supported... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4205&PID=30661&title=a-tale-of-two-cities#30661 Author: Paul Nagy

Very valid points. In fairness at least to the Mulligan campaign, the crew who placed his signs in my area went well back of the sidewalk and were in complete compliance across the board. Some of these violations may have been the resident moving them after mowing, or not knowing the law. I haven't seen many for Mr. Picard, and his were placed correctly which were seen. I think everyone tried to place them properly, but a few moved by the resident, by accident, is my thought.  ]]> Wed, 02 Nov 2011 09:45:21 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4205&PID=30516&title=a-tale-of-two-cities#30516 A Tale Of Two Cities : I do find... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4205&PID=30503&title=a-tale-of-two-cities#30503 Author: Mike_Presta

I do find it odd that the very same people who want weordinary citizens to be fined $100 per day if your paint is peeling or if yourgutter is sagging, have no problem at all planting their signs illegally in thepublic rights-of-way!!!

I have taken pains to be certain that all of my signs wereplaced at least a couple of feet back from the sidewalks. (Usually this puts them well out of the right-of-way).  In the few instances where there were nosidewalks, I tried to gauge the right-of-way line from power poles, hydrants, ditchlines, and similar indicators to at least comply with the spirit of the law:

§ 1272.04 Middletown - Planning and Zoning Code

(b)Signs not requiring a permit.

(7) Electionsigns. Political signs not exceeding 32 square feet inoutside area, single or double faced, and maximum height of five feet in residential zonesor without size restrictions in all other zones. Such sign shall not beanimated or illuminated. Such signs shall not be placed earlier than 30calendar days before any election. Such signs shall be removed by the propertyowner or lessee within one week following any election. No election sign shallbe placed in the public right-of-way.

I find thesigns around town quite telling.  Thevery ones who lecture us about keeping our city neat and clean, the ones whorefuse to allow our businesses to advertise, those who turn their noses up atany merchant who dares to violate their precious sign ordinances by even afraction of an inch, are the very ones who have placed many of their signs inviolation of the city sign ordinances. They have their signs stuck smack within the right of way, closer to thepavement than the law allows, and often on public property.  As usual, they flaunt the law.  As usual, they seem to think that the lawsare meant only for “the little people” and not for them.  As usual, they act as if they are above thelaw.

On the otherhand, we have the ones who champion our businesses and their right toadvertise, the ones who think our sign ordinances are too strict and that theystifle commerce.  They seem to have takencare to obey the sign laws with their few signs, even though they may disagreewith those laws.

Those of youwho have not yet decided should consider these attitudes before you cast yourballots.  The next laws they flaunt orignore could easily affect you more directly.
