Misnomer of Outdoor Advertising
☼
Billboard companies effectively bribe public officials by offering "favorable" billboard rates for their campaigns.
☼
Just compensation is a slap to taxpayers because it gives the outdoor advertising industry special entitlements.
☼
Amortization is a fair way to compensate billboard owners because it allows them to recoup their investment before they are forced to remove a lawfully erected sign.
☼
Just-compensation legislation takes away local governments’ control over billboard regulation.
☼
The public supports the removal of billboards.
