Thanks to You, Arizona Dark Skies Are Protected
From More E-Billboards!
Dear Walter,
Thanks to you, House Bill 2507 (which would have
expanded the allowable area for electronic billboards) is dead in the water. We
urged you to tell the Arizona legislators to kill the bill and your voice was
heard!
We couldn’t have achieved this without YOU! Our
IDA members made phone calls, submitted letters and emails, and even made
personal visits to the Capitol to urge their legislators to save Arizona’s dark
night skies by voting down House Bill 2507.
While IDA is truly an international organization,
we call Arizona home and are thrilled to help maintain the good policy that
already governs EMC operations in our state.
However, the fight doesn’t end here: there are
reasons to believe that the outdoor advertising industry will be back in future
sessions, again seeking to chip away at the hard-won outcome achieved in 2012.
Rest assured that we will monitor this situation closely, and ask for your
assistance in support of our state’s magnificent dark skies.
If you have a moment, why not thank the six
Senators who voted against the expansion of EMCs yesterday for their votes?
Contact information for these individuals is below.
For more details on the bill, its history and
IDA's stance, read our blog post.
With Gratitude,
Scott Feierabend
IDA Executive Director
