I hear that Bay County has a $200 per sign per day fine for signs left out more than x number of days after the election. Ouch!
Problem with that is you can really get over on a politician, just save up some of their signs and put them back out later.

They reported about it on the news and the county does work with candidates, it's not just a blind charge.

the most creative idea I heard was Jimmy Patronis' idea to pay the football players at one of the local high schools to pick up his signs...the money went to the school...the football department I guess.
Anyway, it was a good way to get the signs up quickly and more creative than just a contribution/donation to the cause...and from what I heard the students seemed excited about the money for the school.

It was for the baseball team. He's spending money like crazy to empty out those coffers, he raised $230,712.00 and only spent $163,921.32 as of October 29,2010. That's an awful lot of money to run against someone who only raised $4,904.00.

I just happen to operate a political consultancy that specializes in quickly spending leftover money.

You don't want to get involved in that, the money post election has to be even more carefully spent then before.
I do need to use you as a spokesman for something, but that's an off board conversation. BTW, did you change your phone number?

Few years back Don Gaetz raised 3 mill with no opponent.

If you guys see any more of Sara's signs, especially in clusters, please send me a PM. Have had someone drive all the major roads and I think we are about done except maybe some stragglers out there.

Ta-daaaa!
Now someone remind me what bets I had out on this election. I think I am owed a hot dog or two, but can not remember. With my luck I may be buying.

They do, it's not this goofy ordinance. It's simply a fine per sign taken down by county workers. I agree with that much more than this deposit and tagging system that was apparently devised with a bong hit and a marathon of Swamp People.
Most apparent that the person who devised it is referring to a bomb (ordnance) instead of an ordinance
