Call to Action! Urge Corrupt City Council to stop Billboard Blight!

Yes, they put a billboard up in the middle of a bike path!

Trying not to appear in the pockets of outdoor advertisers, LA City Council is conducting much of their business regarding outdoor digital billboards and illegal billboards in secret, closed door meetings. They need to hear from us that we're not happy with their give-aways to advertisers who are ruining our city. Today, Ron Kaye urges Angelenos to contact the city council and let them know what you think about this subject:

(So you have a 24-hour digital sunrise in your bedroom? So, your kid was maimed in an accident as a result of a distracted driver watching a digital billboard? Ever tried to sell a home with a ditigal billboard in your backyard? Much to ponder. The City needs time from the moratorium to get its house in order.)

Dear Leaders of Los Angeles:

You're failing me and every other resident of Los Angeles. Your refusal to:

1. Enact an immediate moratorium on billboards
2. Enforce and remove criminal and illegal billboards
3. Effectively regulate outdoor advertisers

has eroded the trust and confidence we the citizens place in your hands. You're not looking out for our best interests. You're a disappointment at best and perhaps criminals at worst.

We are watching you. Please behave like your jobs depend on our trust and confidence.

Best Regards,

The Engaged Observer
