Title: Steve Dawes sign discovered in Bellevue
Post by: Celtic Rose on May 14, 2012, 08:49:58 PM
I went to dinner at a friend's house in Papillion this evening, and on my way back home I decided to swing through Bellevue's 1st Ward to see how it looked on the ground the night before the election.  Most of the City Council signs were for Scott Houghtaling, but I did find one sign for Mr. Dawes:

It might be the only sign that Steve has. They maybe rotating it around the area. Word has it that the sign is trying to get unionized so it can just lay on its ass in the grass all day.

Campaign signs can't be on public property in most places - If those signs are on the sidewalk surrounding an apparently empty lot, there may be a problem. If not, then the owner of the vacant lot certainly approved of them, right ?

Since there seems to be so few of them, I don't think it would matter. If there were a bunch of campaign signs - a creative person with a printer and some sticker paper could have 'amended' a few of them.

Strictly speaking, yeah.

That's a well-known law in Nebraska.

But on the other hand, it's not a big problem, so usually one can "get by" without anybody getting upset.

True.  Sinclair was once ubiquitous in Nebraska, everywhere, but then evaporated some decades ago.

And then Conoco pulled out of Nebraska circa eight years ago, and pfft! there was Sinclair again.

I dunno why, but that's what happened.

Looks like the Sarpy County Democrats are not proud of ol' Socialist Steve. They didn't boldface the type for "Bellevue City Council- Ward 1", as they did for all the other candidates. I think the DUmbshits call that a "dogwhistle".

It reminds me- I have never seen more than a half-dozen replies to one of the Bellevue Bolshevik's campaign announcements in the DUrinal.

Poor Steve. Poor, poor Steve. It brings a tear to the eye, you know?

I would imagine that Nebraska is like most other states in that one must disclose all funds totalling over a certain threshold.  Here in NH, that level is anything over $500, meaning that if he raised $501 (or services in-kind) and fails to report it, he could be in big trouble.

Yup.  Big trouble indeed if someone in NE state government were to find out.  Big trouble for sure.

I just hope he gets off his ass and picks them all up the day after he loses.  It pisses me off to see damn campaign signs left as litter.  Obama signs are still around here in the ditches and ROW.

Usually they put the telephone poles in the ROW so you might just be right...he looks like he is on the BOS (back of sidewalk if there was one)  If it is the BOS side he is on private property.

I thought the bottom limit in Nebraska was $5,000--that, quoted by the big guy himself some months ago--but maybe not.  The big guy at the time said he probably wasn't going to get that much, and said he wouldn't have to report.

So we'll have to wait and see.  And it may take a couple of months from now.

I read through the website - If I understand correctly, if total contributions exceed $5000.00 they need to be reported, and all individual donations of $250.00 or more need to be reported, regardless if all donations combined reach the $5000.00 mark.

Interesting bit of trivia.
