mrfootball Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) Community groups back "bandit sign" legislationBy KIM JACKSONHouston ChronicleLocal chambers and legislators are backing a long-standing local effort to get legislation passed that would place tighter restrictions on individuals and companies that place the illegal signs Edited December 23, 2006 by dbigtex56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danax Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hopefully this gets passed but passing a law is still a long way from not seeing these signs around. Houston has an ordinance very similar to the one proposed here but the signs are still everywhere. Law enforcement either doesn't realize that they're illegal and/or won't pick them up or cite the violators, it's just a very low priority. It's one of those deals where people will have to take matters into their own hands to some degree and continously hammer the violators, although prominent builders, which seem to be the main culprits in the NW area, might be more respectful of a new law than other businesses who would typically use these signs. Around Gulfgate, there is one individual citizen who picks them up and, if he were to stop, the place would look like election day at the polls all the time there.

mrfootball Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 The idea of the County passing up a great moneymaking opportunity like fining these litterbug/spammers is somewhat amazing. Seems like an awesome revenue maker that would be welcomed by the people of Harris county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22Blessings Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I love the way The Woodlands deals with this. Last week I saw someone putting those out on Woodlands Parkway and a Community Association member 2 blocks behind him taking them out again!
