OPEN SEASON ON SIGNS

Just to let everyone know, during any election year(compliments of state law), anyone in the State of Minnesota is allowed UNLIMITED  SIGNS IN THEIR YARDS. YES, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT. AS MANY AND AS BIG AS YOU WANT!!!!  Isn't that wild?    This year the dates are from June 27, 2014 until November 14th (10 days after the election).  Now who would believe that our state legislators would allow signs as big and as plentiful as a person wanted, if they created traffic hazards or devalued property. Is anybody stupid enough to believe the state legislature would allow more traffic accidents or fatalities by enacting this law?  Does anybody out there really believe our state legislative body would allow mass statewide property devaluation???   See how this works.   The argument the city made during the lawsuit was that my signs devalued property and could create a  traffic hazard, but offered no standards whatsoever to base these false assumptions on.   Joan Claybrook, former head of the U.S Department of Traffic Safety, gave a statement for my lawsuit saying that in all her years in this position she had never seen any evidence that signs had created safety hazards or accidents.   Powerful.....remember that!!
