My first guess would be taking the signs
down?

Signs
I believe Rick's interpretation of the law would be correct regarding
lawn signs. What is the penalty for braking the law?

My question that I seek guidance on, especially from the
McDonald and
Steinglien camps as current elected officials, is what
happened to
following the state laws under, Chapter 211B. Fair Campaign
Practices
Acts, Item 211B.045. In any municipality with an ordinance
that regulates
the size of non-commercial signs, notwithstanding the
provisions of that
ordinance, all noncommercial signs of any size may be
posted from August
1 in a state general election until ten days
following the state general
election.
Does not this law apply to municipal elections on the city
ordinance?
Any guidance from the legal gurus out there would be
greatly
appreciated.
