Sign-gate Part Deux: No on A

Remember when Jerome Stocks and Mark Muir were caught illegally putting up campaign signs early?

Well, the developers behind No on A are trying to top them.  Encinitas municipal code prohibits using the public roads and sidewalks for campaign signs.  City code enforcement personnel have the job of removing illegally placed signs.

Which is why, just as Stocks and Muir did their Midnight Cowboy stunt on a weekend evening so code enforcement couldn't take down their signs, the No on A people waited until late in the day yesterday, the day before election day, to put dozens of signs all over Vulcan, Santa Fe, Encinitas Boulevard, and Leucadia Boulevard.

Encinitas Undercover contacted Council Member Tony Kranz late in the afternoon yesterday, and he was able to get some of the signs removed before code enforcement went home at 5 pm.
















Code enforcement supposedly begins work at 7 am, but signs were still illegally placed all over Vulcan, including right in front of City Hall, around 8:30 am today. So the No on A cheaters succeeded with their plan to get illegal advertising in front of both evening and morning commuters right before the election.

If the developers and city council are on the right side with No on A, why do they have to lie and cheat to win?
