Memo to political candidates: regardless if you won or lost the recent election, please arrange for the pickup and proper disposal of your campaign signs. They are everywhere and are now considered litter. Do the right thing and show us that you really are a responsible citizen. You can’t run from your own signs and we are watching.

Memo to business owners: do you realize that when you place a political campaign sign or billboard in your place of business, you are potentially alienating 50 percent of your customers? I’m new to the area and now know which businesses I will not patronize because they openly support candidates with whom I philosophically disagree.

Do what you want – it’s your business after all – I just thought you would want to be aware that this action may be affecting your bottom line.
