Stopping "Stop Foreclosure" Signs On Haverhill City Council Agenda

In Haverhill, Massachusetts, The Eagle Tribune reports:
  • [C]ity Councilor William Macek said he's been asked to do something about a recent wave of advertising signs popping up all over Haverhill, especially in the northern part of the city and on streets such as heavily traveled North Avenue that leads to Plaistow, N.H. "I responded to a constituent who is absolutely correct in the amount and usage of telephone poles to advertise," Macek said. "She was referring to a sign about not losing your house and stopping foreclosure. She also commented on, and I've heard the chief mention, that we need strong ordinances to prevent these groups from using our highway ramps to advertise."
