king, I'm with you... I worked for the Feds for years (forestry) and learned a hard,frustrating truth... politics trumps science and common sense. Fact is the government will only respond quickly to a massive voter outcry, or a catastrophe. Best bet in my mind is to do the following:
1.turn off our own outdoor lighting.
2.ask our neighbors to do the same
3.get with a group and petition city hall - $ savings carries a big punch with them, even if seeing the wonders of the night sky does not.
4.at every opportunity show friends and families the universe from our backyard. While wowing them with info on the universe, include complaints about LP where they can really see the affect.
5.spend a lot more time observing the moon and planets! Frankly I think that is what I have to do ... dark sky sites are simply too tough for me to get to these days. Getting into the backyard is a challenge for me some days.

OOPS soap box broke! I am done for now. lol
