Racist stickers found in Brighton, Pittsford

Town of Pittsford

Racist stickers are popping up in area suburbs, first in Brighton and now in Pittsford.

Pittsford town supervisor Bill Smith says some of the stickers were ambiguous, promoting a "European identity" but some were quite direct.

"We're not going to tolerate that sort of thing in Pittsford, it is an assault on the values that make us the community that we are."

Smith said the parks department has already taken the stickers down and it has been reported to the sheriff in an effort to combat future incidents

"I think one of the best ways to do it is to aggressively pursue trying to find out who it is who’s doing it. People put these things up in the dead of night for a reason, because they know they’re doing something they should be ashamed of."

Smith says the parks department has removed the stickers found Monday, but is asking residents if they see any more stickers around to let the town know.
