Signs on public property are illegal

“Red Phone, do you know how to tell when election season is approaching? It is when the political candidate signs start illegally appearing on government property. After your great front page story on this last year, I thought the scofflaws would be too embarrassed to make such a foolish mistake this year, but I was wrong. Senate candidate Bill Monning has broken the ice by attaching several large signs to the chain link fences that line the water district canal at Dunne and Butterfield. This needs to be nipped in the bud early so our city is not covered with this eye pollution. Maybe the confiscation of the illegally posted signs and some fines would remind them that they, too, need to follow the law.”

POTW: Babble

Hi, my name is Babble (87429) and I'm a riot! 2 years old with a full-fledged per-so-na-li-ty that will knock your socks off! I'm incredibly affectionate, super talkative, a wee bit sassy, and I have these wispy things in my ears that flutter in the breeze. If you have fingers, you better pet me. If you have a lap, I'd probably get in it. And if you're just as sassy as I am, come and meet me at HSSV's Animal Community Center ! Visit the Humane Society Silicon Valley, 901 Ames Ave., Milpitas, or call (408) 262-2133.

Aches and pains
