If questionable material is displayed then people can complain to the billboard owner (who should be require to have the name viable on the display somewhere). If the billboard cycles between two or three ads pressure can be brought to bear on the other advertiser.

It doesn’t all have to be bad – sometimes they can even become iconic, like the Citgo sign out past the outfield of Fenway Park in Boston or Times Square in New York. I’m not trying to say OKC will become like those places any time in the near future, but even cities like Kansas City, Dallas, Austin, and Denver have their pockets of billboards in urban environments (they’re not all highway signs).

As to the electronic display boards, just make sure they put timed dimmers on them so they don’t blind people after the sun goes down.

ANYTHING and EVERYTHING the Brewer Family is in favor of is a bad idea and should be trashed.

Okay, maybe evil is overdoing it, but they are ugly no matter what you do. Please don’t let this happen.
