State Sen. Glenn Wakai said that he expects opposition to Senate Bill 3197 — allowing billboard and other large messaging signs in the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District — to come from The Outdoor Circle. Indeed, he should expect opposition to come from every aware individual who loves the natural beauty of Hawaii, and who profoundly thanks The Outdoor Circle for holding the line over these many years.
Just think for a moment how billboards deface, and primarily, for the purpose of satiating greed. Then, think how the beauty of Hawaii is enhanced by keeping the blight of billboards out of Hawaii.
Let the opposition to SB 3197, be loud and clear: No defacing billboards in Hawaii, period.
