Around 50 campaign signs supporting Pleasanton Mayor Karla Brown's bid for a third term were stolen over the weekend. Her opponent, Jack Balch, has denied any involvement and said that this type of crime has no place in the Tri-Valley.
There is political intrigue in Pleasanton days before the election. This comes after dozens of campaign signs were stolen, which some residents fear could tip the election against the incumbent mayor.A doorbell surveillance camera caught a shadowy figure swiping campaign signs in the dead of the night."They're pulling the plastic right off the metal post and leaving the post. And I'm guessing about 50 signs all around Pleasanton .
We can disagree on the issues without sinking to this level," he said.The Pleasanton Police Department is looking into the thefts, which is a federal crime. However, officials declined to provide an update on potential suspects."Some of these local races are even more important than at the national level," said Dr. Trish Crouse, a University of New Haven political scientist.She said the adage "all politics is local" means being mayor can have a great impact.
