Having been a resident of Maple Valley for more than 16 years, I am truly disgusted about the recent turn of mischief that has been happening in our city.

We proudly displayed political signs in our yard for three of the candidates, Karen Crowe, Linda Johnson and Bill Woodcock, who are  running for City Council positions in Maple Valley. These signs were very close to the front of our home for three days. Then just this morning, we awoke to the signs having been removed from the yard and placed upside down in a tree. In addition, it has been noticed that all the signage along Witte Road for candidate Bill Woodcock have been removed, as well. These acts of mischief are certainly not funny or cute. They are acts of vandalism.

So, a suggestion from a resident. If you are a juvenile doing these acts and think it’s funny, believe me it’s not. If in fact, you are an adult, who thinks that by removing and vandalizing specific candidate’s signage will promote less votes for that person, think again. Whoever you are, whatever your age, these acts of vandalism are certainly signs of a very sick mind.

I will continue to support these three candidates for council positions with or without signs.
