Legislation Alert: Contact info for LED Task Force Members to OPPOSE new LED ordinance

The LED Task Force meets this evening at 4:00 in an as yet undisclosed place (can you say "Sunshine Law"?  Sure, I knew you could) the Mayor's Conference Room (according to the Nashville Neighborhood Defense Fund) to consider a new ordinance that would essentially provide conditions to permit light emitting billboards into residential and mixed-use neighborhoods within 151 feet of the closest residential property.

Please write the Task Force and express your opposition and--if applicable--your neighborhood association's opposition to any LED signs being permitted under any conditions in residential and mixed-use neighborhoods.  Here are the email addresses of the Task Force members:
