Dear Editor,

I am so fed up with hooliganism. I have had 14 political signs stolen from my yard in the last two months. Four for Shadia Tadros, two for Dana Balter, two for Rachel May, five against Katko and one for my school’s Open House. I paid for most of the signs.

Then two weeks ago when I took my granddaughter to the park in the rain I noticed that someone had broken off the top of one of the new trees planted between the curb and the sidewalk. For three years I have mulched, watered and taken care of that tree. The tree was planted in honor of my grandson, Jonas. And what happens? It too becomes victim of alcoholic frenzy.

My house is enroute for drunken students walking back to campus from the Westcott area. The last four signs were anonymously donated to me by a friend who had read my post about the loss of previous signs and damage to this tree. They didn’t last three days.

Do these students realize they are stealing? Taking away my freedom of speech?

Sincerely,

Miranda Hine

Syracuse resident
