Thank Council Member Head for her no vote.
Council Member Head was the only no vote on the motion to move forward during the May 8th meeting. Send her an email letting her know she has your thanks and support.
A municipality can regulate the time, place, and manner of advertisements, it typically cannot regulate the content of the advertisement unless there's a significant justification related to public welfare, safety, or another major concern.
If the Town Board changes the zoning to allow off-site advertising, they will not have the authority to control the content of the billboards. Businesses, political candidates, and social activism groups that you may not agree with and find distasteful, will be able to advertise in your community, without having to actually be a part of your community.
