Council candidate Carlson deploys lawn signs, needed or not

carlson_lawn_sign

Kalispell Ward 1 city council candidate Sandy Carlson probably doesn’t need to put up her lawn signs. As the InterLake’s Tom Lotshaw reported a few days ago, she’s for most intents and purposes running unopposed:

In Ward 1, candidate Joseph Apple is running against Sandy Carlson. Apple tried to get his name off the ballot but cannot, and said he will decline the position if he is elected.

Carlson’s sign contains too many words, a common error. I strongly suspect her sign designer did not put a full sized proof on a lawn and drive past a few times to see how easily it could be read.
