The Signs Point to Election Season
Political signs have been big talk this elections season, and they're everywhere now.
Florissant's focus and drama surrounding kicked off early in the election season, even before they were allowed to be posted.
Earlier in the year, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf on M. Christine BredenKoetter saying that her free speech had been violated by the City of Florissant. In November, BredenKoetter posted a political sign for her husband, Andrew Podleski, who's a mayoral candidate, in their front yard. Podleski and his wife received a letter saying that the sign was illegal and would have to be taken down.
In January, the Florissant City Council voted to amend the ordinance.
