The school levy issue has the potential to be fairly divisive to our small community. There are strong and vocal proponents for either side of the issue. However, one of the proponents of the anti-levy campaign, the Greenbriar Co., has overstepped a moral boundary. They have chosen to speak for all of their tenants on all of their properties by placing campaign signs on the lawns of these properties.
What Greenbriar has done is perfectly legal. They do have the right to place signs on their properties. However, it is morally reprehensible to place a political sign in front of a tenant's residence without their permission. What Greenbriar has done is to dictate to their tenants specifically how they should think about the levy issue. The problem is, all of its tenants are above the age of legal consent, and are more than capable of making up their own minds. If Greenbriar had chosen to ask their tenants permission first, I would not have a problem with their actions.
