All politics is local ( guess the sign stealing is too ! )

Sign-stealing leaves bad impression

I recently moved to Abilene from Houston, due to a job transfer. As a proud Texan and a proud voter, I, much like many of my neighbors, chose to display a sign in my yard for the gubernatorial candidate of my choice.

I've noticed that Abilene seems to be primarily Republi-can and extremely conservative. These are the choices of the locals and though I may not agree; I accept them and understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, what I do not accept is my Kinky Friedman yard sign being stolen from my yard. I paid for that sign, it was not free and it was stolen from my yard on Hollis Drive less than a week after I put it out in the yard.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Abilene!
