The primary elections is over – though you may not know it since the God awful campaign signs still remain all around the Coachella Valley.

I once put a small, non-city issued sign up at the corner of my Palm Desert street to promote my yard sale on a Saturday morning. Within an hour, a code enforcement officer showed up at my house in a pissed off mood threatening me with a fine.

If only the city had the same passion about the garbage yard signs that litter every open space in town for weeks on end during election season. I am sure there are some sort of rules about these things. There has to be right? Though I highly doubt anyone os actually enforcing them.

The last few months have been filled with politicians making promises to make the country, county, and Coachella Valley a better place to live. Perhaps a good start would be to take these damn signs down already.

I’m sure that, eventually, these things will come down – only to be put right back up again for the general election.
