Illegally posted signs also waste taxpayer dollars. Each year, King County logs more than 100 complaints about improperly posted signs. Money is wasted when road crews spend time removing signs before mowing or performing other maintenance activities, and when county investigators spend time following up on sign complaints. This number is staffed 24 hours a day. Campaigns can call the same number to find out how to retrieve signs that maintenance crews have been removed.
Most campaigns make sure their workers are aware of posting regulations.
In their enthusiasm for their candidate or issue, however, some campaign workers may overlook the regulations or engage in seemingly harmless pranks concerning the opposition's signs. Include such facts as license numbers, names, and witnesses to the theft. Do not call 911 .
