Vandalized signs reflect growing criticism


Citizens of the city of Santa Clarita have probably seen quite a few signs for City Council candidates in the past few weeks but some have begun noticing signs, such as these, which have been defaced.

These signs, some of which are pictured here
 (thanks to an email submission), might reflect the growing criticism for certain candidates. Opponents of Laurie Ender's questionable campaign tactics and Bob Kellar's now infamous finance omissions have been vocal leading up to Election Day. 


Additionally, there has reportedly been a high incidence of stolen signs for candidate Diane Trautman- one volunteer for her campaign placing 40 and finding only 18 remaining signs the following day. Whatever the motives behind these vandalized signs, they seem to reflect a profound discontent with certain candidates. Is political dissent and rebuttal coming in the form of stickers? We hope so.
