Vandalized Save Lakewood Hospital Signs

[Lori Allen _]

Has anyone else noticed all the Save Lakewood Hospital signs that have been torn off the frames, frames bent, thrown in flower beds, etc.? It is obvious that the hospital signs far out number the build signs. Are the build members that scared that they appear to be vandalizing signs? I hope that if anyone at city hall has been instructed to do this that they are not doing it on the taxpayer's dime! If Summer's feels that his plan is truly the best for the citizens of Lakewood then he should come forward with all the documents that have been requested and not received by the persons making those requests. I feel that since he is supposed to be leading our city, then he needs to quit hiding behind Kevin Butler's back and speak to the citizens. I can't prove who has been destroying the hospital signs, but I feel I have a pretty good idea!

I suspect most of the signs have been damaged by weather...they have been out there for many months.

I fully agree that City Hall should release its documents, though!

It might be true for some of them, however, mine has been out for months and is not damaged at all. Yet. To the extent that some of the frames are damaged, I don't believe weather could cause all of the damage. Some of the frames were bent so severely that they cannot be straightened out. I also don't believe that weather could cause a straight rip down the middle of the sign. I don't believe that all the culprits are kids. No other yard signs appear to have this type of damage. Just my opinion.

We currently only have a "Brake for Kids" sign in our yard and it was broken and left on our porch. The frame itself is missing now. I fear someone hates driving carefully around children in this town.
