Something to remember during the next election cycle

Signs do not vote. People do.

It's also important to realize that both sides were running as a "slate" of candidates. Here is that definition in Wikipedia:
     A slate is a group of candidates that run in multi-seat or multi-position elections on a common platform.
     The common platform may be because the candidates are all members of a political party, have the same or similar policies, or some other reason.
The three that won were not the only ones that ran together on a slate; it's important to remember that:
The slate that lost in a landslide were the Anarchist Ryan Hartman, Frank McAlonan, and Dianne Jacques. Gary Antieau (another candidate), was used to force Mayor Triolo into a run-off. It didn't work.
With the exception of the last picture in this series (Commissioner Maier's salon windows), these pictures were taken along a stretch of North Palmway.
For those concerned about the environment and contributing plastics to the waste stream, you might be interested in these ideas for recycling these Coroplast signs. It was the Anarchist's use of #5 eco-unfriendly, plastic signs that raised more than a few eyebrow's within the environmental community:
Commissioner Ryan Maier's salon windows. He is up for re-election on March 14th, 2017. In other news, he was re-appointed to the Lake Worth Sister City Board unanimously, which he admitted doesn't meet.
