Further updates------- I received another email from the Mayor copying me on his communication with Parks Dept. and Planning and Zoning. He requested that they investigate our proposal and report back to the City Council on their findings and recommendations. It's moving ALONG!
Thanks again to CN and the moderators for posting the presentation and for this separate forum on light pollution initiatives.

Joe - I know others have said to pretty much dump the environmental the global warming issues, but I have to disagree. I think these issues are important to politicians. I agree you can't sell light-pollution solutions on environmental alone. Politicians need to see the tax-dollar-flow, and regardless of underlying issues, projects that can be cost-justified are approved a lot more quickly than those that can't.
If you have a cost-justified proposal (and I think you do), you can add environmentals to your proposal without cost-justifying it - it's a free added benefit. Politicians may approve things based on cost-justification, but things like environmental issues affect the vote.
