Sean Wardwell had an interesting and instructive piece in today's KDH about the various state and local regulations governing campaign advertising. The sentence I found most interesting was in the last paragraph: A sign "... cannot carry the primary political message on a temporary basis on a sign generally available for commercial advertising or other messages that are not for a primary political purpose."
One candidate in particular has advertised heavily on the rotating LED signs in town. I see them regularly on the one at W.S. Young and Veterans Memorial. That candidate is a lawyer, so I suppose he knows the rules. I wonder if Sean or the candidate has it right?
These regulations are posted on the Texas Ethics Commission web site for everyone to read and print.
