Letter: Please have candidates' signs gone by Nov. 6

Posted 10/8/24

To the editor:

02871 has numerous great views, throughout our town. I am not a fan of sign pollution.

In 2015, RIDOT installed 215 Rhode Works signs. We had 19 in Portsmouth. They are gone!

In less than 30 days, we will vote for the candidate of our choice. Did the yard sign motivate you to vote for a name? Candidate yard signs are part of our scenery.

I respectfully request all candidates to remove all their yard signs by Nov. at noon. If any readers were responsible for posting their candidate’s sign, please remove it.

I like the way we look. No Rhode Work signs, no yard signs for another two years.
