Has anyone traveled on SR 20 and seen all the Adkinson for Sheriff signs all over the right of ways? He actually puts some of them under the state road signs. I know he had been told of this before and he admitted he was responsible and would take care of it?well they are still there weeks later. He is competing for the top law enforcement job in the county and doesn?t even comply with the law himself. If he gets elected I hope this is not the manner in which he plans on dealing with other law violators.

As someone who is putting up campaign signs, this is the most frustrating thing. You tell supporters not to do it, but they do it anyway. I have passed Adkinson on the side of the road pulling his up and moving them, so I know he is trying.
What I am finding pretty amazing is the 4x8 signs that are being put up next to the road. And supporters are digging holes to put them up. Way to many fiber optics in the ground for me to do that, but sitting right next to the road, I figure CE or DOT will be taking them down as fast as they go up.
Anyone noticed the big signs attached to 4"x4" posts for a candidate in the Sheriff's race? I've noticed two which seem to be illegally placed on public property along Hwy 98 at the west end of 30A and near JD Miller Rd. Should a person who cannot follow the rules, be elected to public office? This guy is running for top law enforcement officer for Walton County and apparently cannot follow the rules himself.
booya, you sure are against Mike Adkinson. I am sure that people who are helping him put out the signs are those who are making the mistakes, not him personally. I dont think this is such a huge violation of the law that we would have to worry about what type of Sheriff he would make. I have seen other signs from others in the right a way as well. Its mistakes, not them trying to be law breakers. Its one thing to have an opinion on here, its another to try and bring one person down all the time.
I never mentioned Mike Adkinson, but I guess that means that he also has campaign signs illegally placed. The signs to which I refer, were another candidate in the Sheriff's race. The signs are rather large in size, and it isn't like some random fan placed the signs. You can delegate authority, but not responsibility. The candidate has the responsibility to ensure that the signs conform to the law. I totally disagree that about the people running for Sheriff not abiding by the current laws.
It aint rocket science to determine private property, and ask permission to place the signs. I'm just wondering who they ask to "mistakenly" place the signs on public property.

Disturbing that the local radio station in DeFuniak ran a story today saying that signs were not illegal on county row. Just state and city.

Candidates can blame their volunteers all they want, but they certainly won't get my vote electing them to run something if proper sign placement is too much for them to properly oversee and delegate!
The ones to which I refer were along Hwy 98, and according to County records, the land belongs to the State in the way of State Parks, or Right of Way, depending on the exact location of the signs.
I have never heard of County and City road sides being exempt.
While in school, my brother and I had a ton of fun with those signs.
Montgomery politicians were famous for putting the signs out 25 at a time, all 1 foot apart in a long line along Hwy 231.
We'd run them over doing about 60.
