Jack,
I am pleased they are doing this for our input and benefit, but at the
same time am surprised and confused. I haven't paid any attention to what
is happening in Maricopa county because I have my observatory in Dewey,
and property in NM I intend to develop. I do recall, though, that a few
years back there were objections to self illuminated billboards (or
whatever they are called), but now I see them everywhere. Was this not
against an interest in dark skies? (note: this is a question and not a
statement of fact as some on this list may *want* to interpret) Could you
fill me in, and maybe others, if it doesn't take too much of your time,
what has been happening at the MAG and county level that shows MAG, and
the county, has an interest in dark skies because at least the self
illuminating billboards demonstrate no interest (if I recall correctly
that astronomers are against these kinds of billboards).
