Letter: Kenny sanctions billboard blight

Friday, April 20, 2001 | 3:39 a.m.

In reference to your April 17 article on county billboards: It's not hard to see who supported Commissioner Erin Kenny in the latest election.

We already have billboard blight where it's impossible to see anything beyond them, and Kenny wants to increase the amount? The billboard industry said they would increase the distance between the billboards from 350 feet to 500 feet if their new measure passes. That's not much of a concession for the right to literally double the amount of billboards in Clark County from the present amount.

If it passes, the next time family friends or visitors are with you and they ask where the mountains are, you can just tell them that they are behind all the billboards.
