In response to recent events elsewhere in Central New York, the village of Skaneateles is proposing a law that will remove its 30-day restriction on political signs.
Local law no. 2 of 2013 would remove the following regulations from the section of village code that deals with temporary signs: “Political posters shall not exceed four square feet. Placement shall not exceed 30 days. The names and addresses of the sponsor and the person responsible for removal shall be identified on the posters.”
Board members noted that the time restriction has been successfully challenged in other municipalities, most recently the town of Manlius.
