Sorry, no campaign yard sign for us
My husband answered an interesting phone call this morning at home. A worker for Nathan Magsig was letting us know that she had our Magsig yard sign ready for us. Magsig, a member of the Clovis City Council, is running against Debbie Poochigian for Bob Waterston's District 5 seat on the Fresno County Board of Supervisors.
Thing is, we didn't ask for a yard sign. Denny laughed as he told the lady that. With my husband working as a reporter (he covers Fresno City Hall and the mayor's race) and me working on the Opinion pages for The Fresno Bee, a campaign yard sign is something you won't see in front of our house.
Nice try, Nathan. The editorial board recommendation is all you'll get from me.
Comments
I voted for Magsig, but not with any enthusiasm. He's a bit too chummy with the developers for my liking. (Taking lots of campaign $$ from them, filing a lawsuit against the Air Pollution Control District for trying to make developers pay a portion of their share for cleaning the air.) But Ms. Poochigian appealed to me even less. So he'll get my vote, but he won't get a sign in my yard.

At least they call and try to get an ok and not just stick it in your yard. I don't think yard signs and other big signs on corners really sway the vote anyway. They are just an eyesore.

Bumper sticker anyone? Mike(D)'s post reveals yet another piece of the puzzle that he is.This is going to take a long time.
