Silly CraigS you are getting yourself worked up into a froth over NOTHING. And if someone thinks they have anyone on a "short leash" then they are delusional.
You need to stop throwing away notices and such you get from the Association. We all VOTED ON AN AMENDMENT to the Sign Restriction last year, and IT PASSED. We all received our copy of it last year.
A copy of it is also on the main page of this site. But in case you're too embarrassed to go over and look, well, here ya go, YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE CAN PUT POLITICAL SIGNS UP DURING AN ELECTION.
