Lots of ugly campaign signs everywhere - some hideous yellow ones have sprouted along 30-A near grayton.
A campaign sign is one thing, signs every "x" feet down a scenic stretch of road and multiple signs in one area makes me want to vote against you!
Best campaign signs ever - Rapunzel is making handpainted signs on corrugated metal for Obama! That's politicking w/ pizzazz!

White Pick Up Truck
Will the driver(s) of the smaller model white pick up truck please refrain from "selective enforcement" when it comes to the removal of Campaign Signs? You have been spotted ((soon to be identified via 10-28) removing only one certain candidates signs from locations where others are posted. Further, you have recently removed signs from private property. Thanks.

I would like Mr. Cornman to produce an affidavit from Alligator Lake stating it has endorsed his campaign. That or remove the illegally placed campaign sign from the North side of 30A.
In addition I don't believe that the new 331 bypass has endorsed him either. Remove them or don't, but you've already lost my vote.

On the same stretch of roadway Mr. Hudson, Mr. Osborne and Mr. Cooper all have signs in the right of way. Are you disqualifying them as well?
Just a short distance up the road, Mr. Adkinson, Mr. Yandell and Ms. Wilkerson all have signs in the right of way. Are these people out as well?
The fact is the only candidates I think are in compliance are Ms. Winegardner, Mr. Wise and our dear ole Sheriff himself. Are these the only candidates you are going to vote for?
The truth is they all are doing what they have to do to get elected because name recognition counts alot in elections. My vote is way to important to me to base it on such an aisine criteria as whose signs are in the right of way.
Ok, someone needs to point out to me where it says that political signs are not allowed in the ROW.
I've read the ordinance multiple times and it specifically says that political signs are exempt from the ordinance that states signs aren't allowed in county ROW's. I've also spoken with code enforcement in the past about political signs and was told that this is the case and that the only thing that needed to be known was that the signs would be pulled up after the election if the respective owners did not get to them first (they want the owners to pull them up, but if they don't, CE will end up doing it).
So, I don't see where these people are "breaking the law". But, if I'm missing something and CE was wrong when they told me that (albeit, last year), then of course I would like to know.

I was told specifically by CE that they are not to be placed in the ROW or on public property. They are to be place on private property with that property owners permission. FDOT enforces this as well and has a designated sign person who often calls into mapping and requesting ROW mapping to see which ones need to be removed on his rounds.
Yeah, this is confusing because I spoke with a woman at CE in person and got a completely different story. And then the ordinance that comes up on the County website also infers that the political signs are exempt.
If you go here: http://gisftp.co.walton.fl.us/search/
Click the Advanced Search From Now Through 1970 and enter "political sign" in the box that pops up, click the first of the two docs (the second is irrelevant , has to do with water/sewer) and read what it says it sure does make is sound like the political signs are ok in the ROW...
Now, maybe I'm wrong, but maybe other candidates and/or their supporters have also interpreted this document the same way.

I don't have the statue or ordinance in front of me that oversees this, but I want to say 2.7 when Kevin and I talked. Not sure about that number but it's not the document that showed up in your link. I'll have to go back and see if I can reclaim my copy of the ordinances they gave me. FDOT backed up his statement as well. They remove them if they are in the right of way before and after elections.They are considered a hazard, especially when grouped and blocking sight lines of drivers at stop signs and such if they are the big ones and the small ones go flying when run over.
I saw a horrible group out on 90 E yesterday. I think almost every candidate had a sign in this group off the shoulder at the curb. They did remind me of political flowers
I will admit I haven't seen a lot of them in Okaloosa on my trips to niceville or past the Walton line going into Crestview. I don't know how they are handling them, but I haven't seen many over there compared to our HWY 90 here.
