Will it? If the OP Building Inspector were interested in really doing his job, he would be picking up all the many road side non-political signs that are in so many places all around town.
The sign thing is silly. I mean we live in America - the 1st Amendment protects individual rights to free expression. Just because a group of Orchard Park politicos have sign issues does not mean that residents don't have a right to express their support of candidates. Are these guys for real?
What is political sign agreement and who is in charge of enforcing it? Why is it the building inspector's job? I thought it was the party bosses that were to police it?
Non-political roadside signs are everywhere, and they are not allowed by law. It is the building inspectors job to enforce this.
I'm not sure Paladino's people are actually putting signs on lawns. I thought that if you wanted a sign, you'd have to go to that barbershop in Lackawanna and put it up yourself.
Timberwolf did not address the question of political sign removal. In this agreement, who's responsibility is it?

Probably the responsibility belongs to whoever the agreement says it belongs to. Frankly, I do see a difference between a lawn sigh that says, "Chicken BBQ Dinner $10.00" and a sign that says, "Vote for Nancy Chicken".. They all should come down.
I didn't know Nancy was running. She's probably a much better choice thann Paladino or Cuomo.

Got that right...
The "agreement" favors the candidates with the most money. DiPietro, because he is not the tool of the special interests, has to use signs to get his message out there. The other guy is on TV with special interest money that must be repaid, if you know what I mean.

PS: if you want to live in a more controlled environment, the free market gives you that option--condos.
I don't believe that the town of OP -- or any municipality -- can legally bar political signs from private property. Municipalities can bar signs of any and all kinds from the highway/street ROWs, but I don't think they can bar non-permanent political ones from private property. It's clearly a violation of the 1st amendment, and has probably been ruled such numerous times.
There might be an "agreement" among candidates to not put up political signs, but that's not enforceable.
