The city of Des Moines, Iowa, is tired of residents putting up signs on utility poles. Signs for garage sales, lost pets, political candidates, weight loss schemes and the like. “It looks really tacky,” complains Councilman Michael McPherson. So the city plans to post signs to remind residents that putting signs up on utility poles is illegal. Where will they post these warnings? On the only thing handy: utility poles.
