@Rob and @ Dudek, thanks for the infomation,as I clearly stated, I am not well informed enough but thought I could still post a comment, having seen the post on twitter and discovered this whole awesome Durham page. I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone, nor did I expect to be attacked @ Erik, why would I make up a name? I'm signed in through my Travel Agency blog on type pad, which shows my business name. I have lived here since 1984 and opened my travel agency in 1986. I try very hard to support local businesses & causes & encourage others to do the same. I was interested in a digital billboard, as some of my travel vendors indicated that it had been successul in other venues. I hadn't really thought through the environmental and other aspects prior to that post. My "real name" is Sarah and now that I am more fully informed I too hope that the County bans them as well.

Perhaps I don't know as much as I should about the whole issue, but I have wanted to utilize billboards for advertising and don't agree with this decision. I would think that it could bring in some much needed revenue via taxes if nothing else.
