Kent First Selectman Jean Speck says there have been a number of calls recently from residents reporting political signs being removed from their property.  She says an important component that makes up the character of the community has always been one of fair play.  Speck has created a petition on change.org to pledge to never steal political signs: http://chng.it/4vhDHs6r

The state Department of Transportation has been mowing roadsides in Bridgewater.  First Selectman Curtis Read says crews have removed political signs and anything else in the state right of way.  Anyone who lives on 133 and has a missing political sign, he says it may be reclaimed at Town Hall.  Read asked that when residents replace it on their property, it's placed further back from the road. 

New Milford Mayor Pete Bass says it has been reported that political signs are being stolen off of private properties.  He asked that residents respect those that choose to display their choice for political office and do not take signs off of private property.
