Billboard Wars continue in Rapid City, South Dakota. A successful citizens' initiative in 2011 led by heroic citizens fed up with billboard proliferation in their beautiful community. With new digital billboard technology, billboard companies have been hoodwinking local officials all over the country into digitally "upgrading" their "Trash in the Sky". With many local officials going along with the heavy-handed "sell", that leaves their children and their children's children holding the bag (of garbage).
Have they torn down any billboards yet? It seems that now the billboards are a lot more valuable and the companies will keep them up no matter what. They just wont place any new billboards up. So we are still stuck with all of the billboards, and the billboard companies are making more money off of them.
