Hummm.....
Tradition and Past Practice sounds a lot like "Things As Usual" and "Status Quo" for politicians. Got to remember that when politicians are accused of keeping things the way it was.
If a private citizen out there waving at motorist with a sign that read "Haole's Stay Out of Puna" or "Shop Hilo - Great Discounts", how long will they be allowed to remain until they are told its unsafe and a violation of some law? If the law places restrictions on roadside activities based on public right of way and safety, what makes political campaigning any safer?
Sounds to me like some have no issue with politics as usual. If that's the message the area wants to send, that's fine so long as you understand they may continue that “tradition” after they are elected.
