Referendum Signs Hit by Vandals

Betty Selin, Atral Radio News

The Coldstream referendum is less than three weeks away, but things have already gotten ugly.
The Vote Yes to Parks Committee is shocked that almost half of their signs have been vandalised. Spokesperson, Bill Tarr says 16 of their 35 signs were vandalised in less than 8 hours. The signs cover a 6 kilometre area, so they don't think it's kids. Some of their vote yes signs had "No" spray painted over while others were torn down. Tarr says the signs cost over one-thousand dollars and the money was donated by several sports groups. Coldstream Residents will vote on December 15th on whether the application for non-farm use of the land on Aberdeen to allow for an outdoor sports complex should be sent to the Agricultural Land Commission.
