SOUTH WHIDBEY RECORD: Stolen school board signs spell trouble
Someone stole yard signs for South Whidbey school board incumbents Marnie Jackson, Andrea Downs and Ann Johnson and took them to the school grounds where they were arranged to spell the letters “F U.” Jackson filed a police report and removed the signs from the school property.
“We are shocked and saddened by this petty act of vandalism and disrespect for the democratic process, our community members’ right to self-expression on private property, and our schools and students,” Jackson said.
Manning-Davis, who is running against Jackson said “If you are stealing signs for either campaign and thinking you are helping, you are in fact doing the opposite.” Candidate Kramer-Nelson wrote on her facebook page, “Stealing anyone’s campaign signs is not okay on any level. Everyone has the right to support whoever they choose without judgment.” Candidate Dawn Tarantino also posted to Facebook denouncing the act. For all the details, see the story by Karina Andrew.
