The good news is that Senate Bill 1218 passed today in the House, with only one
representative voting against it! Even though I drove down to the Capitol
Building today to testify, due to my error, I did not connect with the sponsor
of this bill, Gabrielle Giffords, until the vote was being taken, so I did not
testify. I did write an email a couple of days ago to the committee members
who were hearing this bill.
I will say that Ms. Giffords is certainly a great asset to the amateur
astronomer community! She is looking out for our concerns to limit the amount
of light being directed into the night sky. After hearing the testimony
presented today, there is definitely an education process needed to get a lot
of the other Senators to see how damaging unrestricted lighting is to our skies.
