Telephone and light poles aren't owned by the City either. You better check with the phone company and JCP&L on whether they think your signs on thier property is "legal" despite what Fred thinks. I know in NY both mayorial candidates recently received thousands of summonses for posting on public property and utility poles.

The issue of political signs on public property was discussed ad nauseum in April in anticipation of the May Municipal Election. It was the opinion of the City Attorney that there was no prohibition against political signs placed on public property provided that the sign a) did not obstruct or interfere with the public's right of way, b) posed no safety hazard and c) that the placing of such signs conformed to the ordinance restricting the time such a sign is allowed to be posted. (FYI, that's 45 days prior to and 10 days after an election.) As far as I know there has been no change in the ordinance since that opinion was issued. I asked the City Attorney by email on Saturday to clarify and he has not responded as of yet. > > Having said that, telephone and light poles are generally NOT public property. > > ~joe > ------------------------ Yahoo!
