Who is Mr. Salinas trying to fool? Talking about he respects freedom of speech. Did he forget a few short years ago he ordered an airport employee to remove all copies of a local magazine,simply because it showed a light humored cartoon him.The magazine was denied its right of freedom of speech. Shame shame Mr. Salinas, at least keep your campaing honest.

These politicians support freedom of speech only when it's THEIR speech. What a bunch of hypocrites! There must be better qualified people out there who can run for office.

Polluting the city with thousands of signs six months before an election is NOT "speech." The city can and should mandate no advertising until at least two months before an election. Then again, am I the only person who thinks Tano may have lost because of over-exposure?
