Poltical Sabotage?

Redford Township Supervisor Miles Handy is seeking a second term as Supervisor and is facing Tracey Schultz-Kobylarz. Both are aggressively campaigning. Both are decorating the Township with yard signs. However, it was brought to my attention that some of Tracey's signs are disappearing from peoples lawns. A fellow supporter of Tracey's who lives on a boulevard and his neighbors had their signs removed because of an ordinance hidden deep in Redford's law books. It was confusing to my friend, because as a citizen who believes in fair elections found that only a handful houses away from his were yard signs for the incumbent Miles Handy.

This is not surprising to me, Handy, a former Republican turned Democrat in order to get elected has long used strong arm tactics for financial and political gain. My candidate put it best "That the switch from Republican to Democrat by our current Supervisor was not a change of heart, just a change of political strategy". In small towns and Townships, it's citizens look to leadership and camaraderie, not self-serving politicians. In my experiences with the current Supervisor, I have found him to be arrogant and unwilling to really engage in conversation that did not have himself the topic. With a politically challenged electorate in the area, engaging in political topics is a must. Until more info comes in, Tracey's supporters will now nail down our lawn signs.


Update: More signs removed, currently on the phone with another victim of political dissent. How low will Team Handy stoop?
