City of Tulare is at its worse! All this over putting a sign up! Let these people put there sign up if you don’t agree with what they are representing then turn your cheek. Tulare has way bigger issues then these signs but yet look what Tulare has created, people in fear of putting up there sign to display what they believe. Yes these people should have a lawsuit against this city, good for you to stand up for what you believe.

Turn his head? It’s not his job to hold the hand of the hospital board or council. We can all agree there were and are stupid decisions made in Tulare but because Ward doesn’t fly down in a cape and rescue Tulare doesn’t mean there is corruption in the DA’s office. He prosecutes for breaking laws not political differences in the case of the hospital and a power hungry mayor. I don’t want the DA making hospital board decisions or city council decisions. The people in tulare are taking care of Tulare. Hospital elections voted in a new board and Tulare residents are exposing the mayor as a liar and bully. This group is preying on Ward because they assume he supports Carlton. Quit witch hunting without facts. I’m not up on the negative doing of the DA’s office…do you have other proof other than the previous mentioned issues? Educate us with facts please.

I am neither, so why are they only choosing to enforce now. Why didn’t they enforce last election or during hospital measure and recall?

Dude, did you even read the article? It didn’t say Darby had anything to do with it. It’s some other people and their lawyers.

Who is Carlton Jones to say when I can or cannot speak out for my favorite candidate? He’s not king.

Wow, the Matt Darby supporters are trying to kick the City of Tulare while its dealing a ton of other issues. I think this is a direct reflection of the candidate and his lack of leadership. He should realize this is a huge waste of taxpayer money in a community that desperately needs the money. And to what end?To put up a little sign a few days earl?

From reading the ordinance it appears that it reasonably regulates the time, place and manner of signs equally among all candidates. So doesn’t seem unreasonable – t he last thing anyone wants to see is 1,000s of political signs year round.

Seems like the Matt Darby supporters, who are mostly his church congregation and high school friends just want to sue the City of Tulare to raise money for his campaign. Shame on you Darby and his supporters for wasting taxpayer money.

When I was doing campaigning last election, there was a time line for putting out your signs…..66 or something days before the election.
I don’t think that is unreasonable, because sometimes the election season seems to drag on and on.
Everybody knows, 66 days before and you have to take them down 30 afterwards. If they’re still up, then you can be called on to remove them.

Too many Tulare Council members have paid Tim Ward to turn his head to important issues in city of Tulare, especially Tulare Hospital/HCCA and city Chief of Police which neither has been resolved. City of Tulare is afraid of Matt Darby. He is a no nonsense man. He can clean up the corruption in the DA office.
