Muldoon Tax Service does not follow local laws in advertising

Yesterday Morning January 28, 2016.  I saw this tax business do advertising the east side of Muldoon between the Carrs entrance and Northern Lights Blvd.  They have displayed their advertising on a utility pole near the bus stop.  This is a complete violation of municipal law.  These poles belong to the utility company they are not billboards for people to advertise their personal stuff.  If a lineman has to climb a pole to restore service.  By having to remove these extra stuff that is against the law will cause a delayed response in restoring service.  They also have a poster attached to a state sign advertising their tax service.  The sign is located at says Northern Lights Boulevard.  It is below the sign.  Please do not patronize this business.  We can not have a professional tax service who has a disregard for the local and state laws and wants to do free advertising.  Hopefully the municipality and the state will be giving this business an expensive lesson in advertising by issuing them a fine or a ticket.  Illegal advertising does not pay.

After talking to the manager Lila she told me a local district office of H&R Block makes the decision where to advertise and where to hang them up.  Apparently forgot to look up the local laws of Anchorage, Alaska before hanging up advertisements.  I showed the places where they were hanged mentioned that one is owned by the State of Alaska and the other is a utility pole owned by the electric company.   They have remove the post on the State directional sign still have it on the telephone pole.
