cracking down on yard signs

[GreenInNC]

Voters may have sent Larry Kissell to Washington, but to Charlotte city code inspectors, he's a litterbug.

The Kissell campaign has been fined $59,000 for violating a newly strengthened sign ordinance designed to keep city roadways uncluttered by advertisements. The fine was the highest among a bumper crop of penalties – a total of about $100,000 in sign citations issued to 34 political candidates and groups around the city.
