Unnecessary vandalism

To Whom It May Concern,

People can have differences of opinion about anything. It is our right and privilege.

What people do not have the right to do is trespass on private property to deface a sign which represents a choice or viewpoint they do not agree with.

Last week, I put up signs in Heron which were on private land with permission from the owners.

Within a few days, vandals spray painted graffiti on the signs and ruined them. This is illegal on a couple of levels, from trespassing to destruction of private property.

If these sick acts represent their values, they are some very sick and ill-informed people.

The Sheriff’s department is now in charge of following up on the vandalism and I hope the culprits are caught.

In the meantime, I will be replacing the defaced signs with new ones.

No one is going to stop me from legally supporting the candidates and issues I believe in.

Sincerely,

Debbie Lyman, Heron
