Perhaps you haven't been through Ward 9 lately where Shegstad signs
outnumber Schiff signs by about 4-1. There is clearly strong
support in the ward for independent candidate, Dave Shegstad.

I have seen a lot of signs for (Republican Endorsed) Dave Shegstad,
and I would say that 99% of them are at businesses. Perhaps He is
unaware that MN Campaign Finance Law (sec. 211B.15)prohibits
corporate campaign contributions which includes posting of campaign
signs.
Subd. 2. Prohibited contributions. A corporation may not make a
contribution or offer or agree to make a contribution, directly or
indirectly, of
any money, property, free service of its officers, employees, or
members, or thing
of monetary value to a major political party, organization,
committee, or
individual to promote or defeat the candidacy of an individual for
nomination,
election, or appointment to a political office. For the purpose of
this subdivision,
"contribution" includes an expenditure to promote or defeat the
election or
nomination of a candidate to a political office that is made with the
authorization or expressed or implied consent of, or in cooperation
or in concert
with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate or committee
established
to support or oppose a candidate.
