Description
Along Tarboro Street in the block between Edenton & New Bern, the entire block is littered with at least ten signs on a single block.
Of all of these signs,they were all done by two people:
Kevin Hargrave
BFS Credit Repair
1416 Park Ave
Fernandina Beach, Fl 32034
1-877-768-1988
Jack & Theresa Koenig
6720 Fawn Hoof Trail
Holly Springs, NC 27540
919-625-9314
Hargrave has opened quite a few shops promising to repair credit as fast as the FTC can shut him down... Koenig advertises himself as @Hoodlord on Twitter.
All upstanding individuals who should deserve every fine the city throws at them for violating sign ordinances.

I pull as many up as I can but I am only one person and could make it a full time job.
Just today I saw a few political signs up here and there. Politicians only care about getting elected,after that, they care only about themselves... and this proves it.

I think that if there was a dedicated sign enforcement patrol, it could be funded solely through fines.
I have seen numerous political campaign signs still up which could net some extra money too. Once the elections are over, politicians could care less about their community.
Also the credit repair scammers and rooming house slumlords would think twice before defiling our neighborhoods.
All of the political signs were illegal to start as most of them are on public right of ways and the ones on private property were most likely placed without owners permission. I had two placed on my yard this season from Weeks and McFarlane which did not bode well.

Here's the article WRAL ran in 2005. It says the fine is $100 plus an administrative fee of $100 why not just go ahead and start sending the bills? Maybe that would discourage the "litter".

I just pulled up three of them. I'm not sure if they are the same sign, but all the credit repair ones I am seeing are red with white lettering. They are all over the place. "Erase Bad Credit $250. 877-768-1988. Helpmycreditnow.com"
In the lower right corner, it says that it was printed by Screen Arts (800) 826-4649. What doesn't the City Attorney subpoena this company's records to see who is paying them and from what account if you need the fines paid and can't find the people? Someone paid to have them printed.
