Kandes and Kovacs violate the city ordinance on political signs
As we know, Vaslo had a new city ordinance approved soon after he got onto the council. For residential areas, "A political sign in any residential district shall have a maximum surface area of four (4) square feet" I noticed that both Mark Kandes of the city council and Ron Kovacs, a candidate for school board have signs that violate this ordinance.

Re: Kandes and Kovacs violate the city ordinance on political signs
I would like to state that I was the one who pointed out these signs to The Flash and asked him to post them on this website. Disgusting. These politicians nowadays are bold enough to break a city ordinance and think nothing of it. In my day we would have took action. If the candidate did not remove an offending sign, we did.

Re: Kandes and Kovacs violate the city ordinance on political signs
Muphy's sign is not in violation. I checked with Joe Kaiser on how that area is zoned. It is zoned as Community Business District, which puts Muprhy in Compliance with the 32 sq foot requirement for all other districts not zoned residential. |

What about the signs for Mr Kandes and Mr Kovacs. Surely they are not in a Business District. |

Re: Kandes and Kovacs violate the city ordinance on political signs
It is said it creates residential blight. Either way you look at it, it's now an ordinance. |

Re: Kandes and Kovacs violate the city ordinance on political signs
I don't know how it came about. I believe it was a campaign promise that Mr. Vaslo had. I don't know if there was any public pressure on the subject. |

Re: Kandes and Kovacs violate the city ordinance on political signs
A city ordinance is a city ordinance. Should we ignore someone going through a redlight because their is no oncoming traffic? There is an ordinance regarding the size of signs in residential areas. Why can't those running for office abide by it. Why are they so arrogant that they believe they are above the law?

Re: Kandes and Kovacs violate the city ordinance on political signs
I would have posted the pictures and started the thread if my camera was working properly. I asked Flash to take those pictures for me and he was kind enough to do so. But regarding the subject of the thread. Mr Kandes voted for the political sign ordinance. If he was against it, he should have voted no. Even if he does not agree with the ordinance, that does not mean he does not have to follow it. He is on the City Council for heavens sake. He is suppose to set an example. This man haunts the neighborhoods looking for houses to tear down, but he has no problem with violating a city ordinance when it comes to his re-election campaign. He believes Blight is a run down house, but cannot understand that Blight is big signs all over the neighborhood. And Mr Kovacs is running for School Board. What kind of example is he setting for students? Is he encouraging those who do not agree with the dress code to violate it? Both gentlemen should be taken to task. |

Re: Kandes and Kovacs violate the city ordinance on political signs
In all fairness, do we know that this sign was made and installed by Mark? Could this be a friend or supporter who is unaware of the ordinance? I don't, by the looks of the sign, think it has the union bug on it. |

Using a union print shop is a matter of choice by any candidate. However, if you accept an endorsement from a union, they will request everything you have printed be at a union shop and carry the union bug. Candidates are responsible for any signs put up in their name. Even if Kandes or Kovacs did not erect these signs, they should contact the homeowners and ask they be taken down. |

Re: Kandes and Kovacs violate the city ordinance on political signs
So do I.  See the movement to make Mr. Vaslo the next Council President is on the rise. I'm sure that Mr. Kandes feels the same way. |
