GOP Sign code violations

Republicans really like to violate the sign code ordinances around Watkinsville and Athens. First there is a huge sign in front of Chicken Express for Cowsert that clearly violates the Watkinsville ordinance as it was given to me by Code Enforcement officer Robert Hegge. I just wish he would enforce his codes with equinimity and impartiality. The same would go for the local GOP HQ on Main Street in Watkinsville with the one sign every 10 feet for frontage on the street rule, which the Republicans seem to bask in their ignorance and indifference to, at least from this rather jaded perspective. Then there are all the signs posted on the freeways before football games. Not to mention the exits around the campus at UGA. Do candidates ever get fined for their immense ethical and legal lapses of judgment when it comes to placement of yardsigns? I highly doubt it. As a doctor friend told me yesterday when leaving the highly successful Becky Vaughn fundraiser in Watkinsville, "Republicans are scofflaws."

obeying the law while seeking our votes is not a petty issue. it indicates the same arrogance that Repubs bring to the table in the legislature and the Gov's mansion.
Methinks you doth protest too much, anonymous. Are you one of those Repubs who steal yard signs out of our yards? who put illegal signage on rightofways?
who were part of giving sonny dearest a retroactive tax break of 100,000 dollars?

that's what I thought.
