I am happy to report that the billboard legislation was a very close
call but was defeated. Thank you to all who sent letters to our
State Legislators - your voice really does make a difference and it
truly did in this case. The billboard lobby has money and the only
way it was defeated was from massive letters and phone calls from
citizens who care. Please see this link to see if your
representative stood beside you by voting Nay to SB 164 - http://
www.legis.ga.gov/legis/2009_10/votes/hv0410.htm - several of our
South Fulton and Fayette Representatives voted Yes which is so
disappointing.
Cindy Mathews and I will be attending the Beyond Pesticides
Conference in North Carolina this weekend and I am looking forward to
learning more as to how to advance our community cause.
Your neighbor,
Connie
