How long has this battle been going? When was the last referendum on the issue? What happened? What else has been tried? Why is this an issue? Who are the major players?
-------------------------------------------------- In billboard fight, bad signs Setbacks force city to limit anti-advertising ordinance http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/local/9419011.htm
"Under the agreement, St. Paul will drop its policy of forbidding repairs on existing signs. Since 2000, the no-repair policy and a ban on new signs have been the city's main weapons against billboards. The city had been hoping to use the no-repair policy to reduce the number of billboards as they fell into disrepair.
The moratorium on new signs remains intact, so city officials said St. Paulites shouldn't see a bumper crop of billboards sprouting this fall. But anyone hoping to see signs in their neighborhood disappear sometime soon may be disappointed."
