'Litter on a stick' no way into office

The tallies are in, and the election is over for most candidates. Now it's time to rid our community of "litter on a stick." That is how the S.C. Palmetto Pride organization categorizes campaign signs dotting the roadside.

Candidates who do not pick up their signs within seven days of the election will face a litter penalty of $1,085. While candidates in the June 22 runoff can leave their signs posted, after the runoff, they will also have seven days to take down their signs.

A rarely enforced law states candidates are suppose to get a temporary sign permit before posting placards, and candidates are not suppose to place them on the right-of-way.

We ask those running for office to abide by these rules and help keep our community litter-free. Besides, what kind of campaign pitch is it to have your name lying in a ditch?
