Hi - I love your show and listen to it every day.  You have some really great content and it is very even-keeled. I grew up in New england and spent most of my time in Vermont.  While living there, I realized how beautiful the state is due to one law, The ban of all billboards. It has had an unbelievable effect on keeping the roadsides clean and clear of advertising and maintaining the traditional rural, country feel. When you enter Vermont from another state, you immediately notice a difference. This has also increased the amount of tourism to the state and increased the value of land. I believe that this would be a great move for Oregon as well. We could see a very similar increase in tourism and land values among many other benefits.  I believe a show on this topic could bring a real discussion to the table and possibly get a grass roots movement towards eliminating the billboards. let me know what you think and if there is anything I can help out with please contact me. Thanks - Taylor Hood
