Missing campaign signs a perpetual problem; One candidate says 23 signs missing

June 23, 2010 - As with every campaign season, there comes a time when candidates complain their posted campaign signs start disappearing.
Nearly every candidate will express disappointment their expensive signs have vanished to some extent. This campaign season there are two reports filed with the Wilson County Sheriff's Office regarding stolen signs belonging to one candidate.
District 16 county commission candidate Jason Brockman said two residents have filed reports on missing signs on his behalf, allegedly stolen from their property. He is trying to unseat veteran incumbent Gilbert Graves. The district encompasses the area from Interstate 40 to Stewarts Ferry Pike, and the Beckwith area west to the county line. He said 23 of his 18-inch by 24-inch signs have "come up missing."
"I can put signs out and within five hours or less they are gone," he said.
He said he's invested about $5.50 per sign and it's a costly loss.
Both of the sheriff's reports were taken on Central Pike. Brockman said he's not pointing fingers and most likely other candidates have reported missing signs as well.
"I just want it to stop and I want this to be a fair and clean race," he noted. "If somebody sees someone taking a sign, they should report it. I think we all want the signs to stay where they are posted."
When asked about the problem, other candidates declined comment.

Judging by who Mr. Brockman is running against, I'm not surprised.
