Signs, signs, everywhere a sign...

Question: Does any care about the City of Monona sign ordinances?

When I ran for election I was careful to follow the rules. Today I can find at least on example for every candidate that is in violation. Aside from adding to the visual clutter, this abuse runs up the cost of local elections and puts those who abide by the rules at a disadvantage. Should we repeal the ordinance, or enforce it?

Update: According to The Isthmus the city threatened enforcement of the sign ordinance in at least one case last summer: http://www.isthmus.com/isthmus/article.php?article=23414

If parts of the rules are unconstitutional, then its time to rewrite them so all the candidates know where they stand and can follow the same rules; and so the city doesn't end up in court over it.
