Cleaning up your politicians

To the editor: I don’t know about you, but when it comes time to vote I prefer to vote for the folks who put up the least number of road-side advertisements. It’s partially because I enjoy my chaos theory with a side of wealthy politicians forced to waste money on failing campaigns. The main reason behind my own litmus test for a worthy politician (oxymoron aside) is that once Election Day has come and gone I still see those campaign signs dotting the landscape. How these signs stick around in a town where you can be fined for placing a garage sale sign without a permit evades common sense. Now whether you’ve won, lost, or are in the middle of another taxpayer subsidized recount, when Election Day has come and gone please clean up after your candidate. It doesn’t say much about environmental stance by leaving the countryside littered with low-buck marketing. Samuel J. Stanaitis Pine Island
