Political signs are prohibited on public property. City of New Haven, these are not the only signs on public property citywide. It's time you start removing them. And anyone else who's concerned can contact the State Elections Enforcement Commission in Hartford: ct.gov/seec.

I agree, the signs are incredibly offensive. They need to go.

Throw the signs in the nearest garbage can; problem solved.

Throwing the signs in the trash won't necessary make the point. The candidate can easily replace them. Campaigns and the candidates themselves need to be informed by some authority - either the City of New Haven or the State of Connecticut - that their signs are prohibited on public property.

Anon,
I completely agree with you. The issue is if they know and they do that anyway... What a great way to run an honest campaign. And even worst he wants to represent us, the East Rock community!

Though I know very little about William Winn, I suspect he may be a political neophyte and not yet completely aware of the legalities of campaigning. Other candidates and their campaigns, however, have been around long enough that they should be aware of the rules about signs. I say it's time for some government authority to step up and enforce the rules.

Regarding my signs on public property, I respectfully and sincerely apologize to all the residents of our wonderful ward and anyone else that I offended. Believe me, in no way do I ever wish to disobey the law. The signs will be removed IMMEDIATELY! Please accept my most sincerest apology. My campaign will continue to be run in an honest, open manner with a great deal of integrity. Once again, I am deeply sorry . It was an honest mistake. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, William Wynn

Mr. Wynn, Thank You for responding to your neighbors. Good luck campaigning (properly...)

Signs were removed. Thank you

Thanks for fixing this issue!

I see Rob Smuts is continuing to avoid this issue. Remove the signs yourself as no one else will.
FYI it is technically illegal to remove signage from public property-even in these situations- so do it quick and don't get caught lol
