Subject: [scenics] Critical help needed in FL


Today, Wednesday, May 3:

The countdown is on, the clock is ticking.  When the Florida legislature
adjourns on Friday, May 5, the state may have taken a giant step
backward in the fight against the rising tide of billboards.  And many
Florida voters may never know what hit them.

House Bill 893, a transportation bill, now contains an amendment
(Section 58 of the bill) that reverses years of Florida law.  Rep. Randy
Johnson,s amendment, added to the House bill at the 11th hour of this
year,s legislative session, requires Florida,s taxpayers to pay the
billboard industry cash to remove or make alterations to all billboards
throughout the state; and bans the use of amortization to remove
billboards along local roads and streets.

Bill Brinton of Scenic Florida has asked us to get this message out to
as many people as possible:

PLEASE pass this message along to eveyone you know ASAP, and PLEASE

Call the following offices and tell them in just 20 seconds or less that
