The ER story today said Chico City officials are seeing an increase in illegal signs and that a recent surge in illegal signs is taking up too much city staff time as they try to remove them and enforce the law. Remove illegal signs? That is a cruel and heartless thing to do. Is the City not taking into account those illegal signs are here trying to exist like any other sign?
I say we should let any sign that wants to come to Chico do it, even if they are going in front of legal signs. And another thing, calling them illegal is offensive! It’s a biased stereotype. We should be calling them undocumented signs.
Chico is a big, rich city and we should take in all the undocumented signs that want to be here and not worry about it! Afterall, those undocumented signs have made our economy what it is and who else is going to advertise your garage sales? These little signs do what the big, fat billboard signs can’t or won’t! Think about it…besides we’re not the sign police, you want us to start checking all our signs just because the City has a law?
Stop the Hate – Viva La Signs – Amnesty Now!
