You see them all over town and the county.  Political signs from various candidates vying for their selected office.  And as with every year, it seems that those signs…during the late night hours seem to just grow legs and walk to your next door neighbor’s yard and lay down. Or perhaps they make it a block and end up replacing and opposing candidates sign.  They must have a mind of their own.  While no person has been caught this year, Torrington Police Chief Billy Janes says that that act, still has it’s price to pay.
