San Diego County Supervisors

San Diego County Supervisors have been studying a proposal to amend the County's decades old ban on digital billboards, opening the door to visual blight and pollution that has been held at bay since the mid 1980's.  The International Dark Skies Association has already voiced its opposition to changing current law. Let County Supervisors know you do not want to see Times-Square-style, garish advertising in our County. You can email the Supervisors at the following addresses:

Greg Cox, District One Supervisor greg.cox@sdcounty.ca.gov

Dianne Jacob, District Two Supervisor
dianne.jacob@sdcounty.ca.gov

Dave Roberts, District Three Supervisor
Dave.Roberts@sdcounty.ca.gov

Ron Roberts, District Four Supervisor

Bill Horn, District Five Supervisor
