People with signs at least have a job

This is response to, “New rules may slice dancing pizza people.” Whidbey News-Times, June 17).

Why is this any more a traffic issue than those waving political signs at crosswalks, yard sale cardboard signs, or pan-handlers?  Here we have people hired (employed during our economic slowdown), with an income who are paying taxes. What do you want to do? Put them back in the unemployment line!

It seems like all we have a city council for is to bicker back and forth, instead of trying to make our community a better place to live. I’m not going to even mention the time spent on the hat issue.

Why aren’t we trying to create something for our community, or for our children? Like a Chuck E Cheese house, or an all-night restaurant; maybe Denny’s?

I think those in our city council need to reassess what their role should be, or find another job!
