We’ve been losing it over these signs. When they first started out we knew exactly what type of candidate it was for.
Great call out by someone noting none of them are in yards , but always at intersections and roads.

I saw a comment in another thread. It said to take note how infrequently these Malloy signs are in a yard of a home vs in public spaces like highway right of ways. Since I read that I’ve noticed it is true. I’ve seen one exception in my town, that one crazy family that’s full on the red hat, stolen election, train. They have about 10 in their yard.

It’s Vermont. All politicians are carpetbaggers.
Ok_Reference_9222 t1_iubsyih wrote
Disagree. Many of our politicians were born elsewhere. Most lived and worked in Vermont fore years prior to running for office. This dude has been in VT for less than two years and his first run for office is US Senate. Reminds me of Jack McMullen who moved here from Mass specifically to run for Senate. Our own version of Dr Oz.

Oh, so what amount of time in state makes someone a ‘real Vermonter’ to you?
Ok_Reference_9222 t1_iucyv4x wrote
I didn’t make any reference to “real Vermonter.”
But, if someone comes to Vermont for school (Bernie, Kesha, Howard Dean) and stays because they love the place. And runs for office, more power to them. And note that generally these people run for small local office well before any statewide race.
I personally know a woman that moved here from Michigan about 20 years ago for work. Almost from year one she volunteered for all kinds of stuff in town. About 10 years ago she ran for school board. Now running for state Rep. that’s fine.
But McMullen moved here from Mass for no other reason than because there was an open senate seat, oh and he was a multimillionaire so he thought he could buy the seat. I’m sure you know all of this but if not, look up his debate where farmer Fred Tuttle asked him to say the names of numerous Vermont towns.
Now Malloy, yes I’m aware he did not move to VT just to run for senate. But please do tell me how much you think he knows about VT, to justify representing us in the US senate.
thisoneisnotasbad t1_iudf772 wrote
Dude, Bernie started running for office 3 years after he moved to VT. So did Zuckerman. He was still in UVM his first run as a state rep.
You are lying to yourself.
Welch and Balint where here 6 years or less, before they ran for office. Malloy is 100% a carpetbagger but so are 1/2 of the politicians in VT that are currently in office. If you took some time to research them, even though you agree with them, you will see a trend of out of staters moving here and being elected to statewide office less then 10 years after they got here.
fjwjr t1_iud3cjx wrote
I’m not going to tell you anything about this Malloy guy. I don’t know a thing about him. Haven’t seen an ad or gotten junk mail. Just the signs. I just think it’s interesting to hear people’s take on what a Vermonter is.
I moved here for work 33 years ago and, because I moved from NH there’s still people who consider me a transplant. And because I was born in Maryland, there’s still people who consider me a flatlander.
Ok_Reference_9222 t1_iud5r09 wrote
Cool - I'm not one of those people. I was born here and met my wife in Maryland (Army Brat, graduated HS in Aberdeen). She was born in PA. We returned to VT about 30 years ago. My father's family came here from CT. my mother's family has roots in VT that go way back.
We are all Vermonters as we chose to live in VT.

They should be illegal, I don't care how important your message is, that's just littering. There are a lot of "we NEED a high school, vote yes" signs around burlington and I 1000% with that message. I still think these signs are littering.
Not to mention a bunch of the Malloy signs were "deployed" in really menacing circles around the Peter Welch signs, which is honestly just disgusting, I cannot believe adult human beings behave that way.

When I first saw this sign- having no idea who the person was (I don’t live in VT) I said ‘hmmm awful graphics, vague military references that conjure up actions of martial law and oddly pooping, way to tell me you are a Republican, without actually telling me you are a Republican!’
It might say it in the small print but the sign is so unpleasant, I can’t bring myself to stare closer.
I’m really confused are they trying to scare people into voting with their creepy awful art?

I removed them from public roadsides in my neighborhood. People can cover their property in neo-fascist-looking political bullshit if that's what they feel the need to do, but when you plaster that crap all over my street, in my neighborhood, I pull them up.
These cancerous types of Republicans can keep throwing their money away on signs, and I'll keep throwing them out. If they can't devise any actual policy platform, besides the mass proliferation of garbage, illegal on public roadsides in Vermont, simply because we lack the manpower to enforce the law, that's their problem.

Twombls t1_iuehgju wrote
Copied from another thread. U/ok_reference_9222 wrote this
If they break any of these rules you can rip them out
Signs may not be located within state highway rights-of-way or attached to a state or town sign, post or guardrail. Most highway rights-of-way in Vermont are at least three rods, or 49.5 feet. This means that signs must be placed at least 24.75 feet away from the centerline of most highways.
Signs should be removed immediately after the election.
Signs may not be attached to trees.
Signs may not interfere with, imitate, or resemble any official traffic control sign, signal, or device; or appear to attempt to direct the movement of traffic.
Signs may not be located in a way that prevents drivers from having a clear and unobstructed view of official traffic control signs and approaching or merging traffic.
Signs may not be positioned so that they are readable primarily from a limited access facility (which includes the interstates and ramps and some other highways—such as US 7 between Bennington and Dorset).
Signs must be in good repair and securely affixed to a substantial structure.
AOT routinely removes signs in violation. They take them to the nearest AOT garage where campaigns can retrieve them
