Instead, we stood up for the public's interest. This week, I have a story of democracy at work, and my latest Road Report: -- Standing Up to the Big-Money Lobbyists. -- Road Report: Salisbury, Gastonia, Charlotte, Watauga, Wilkes, Lee, Alamance, Greensboro. http://www.danbesse2008.com/DansBlog/tabid/196/EntryID/3/Default.aspx XineWms@aol.com http://www.danbesse2008.com/DansBlog/tabid/196/EntryID/3/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.danbesse2008.com/Default.aspx?tabid=196&EntryID=3 Sat, 06 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.danbesse2008.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=3 The billboard industry has a reputation. They're everywhere, pushing endlessly for their right to block out the scenery and stay "in your face" at all times on the road. Under the Bush Administration, Federal Highway Administration rulemakers are in their pockets. They contribute heavily to legislative campaigns, and slide sweetheart deals for their signs through state legislatures. When a local government seeks to restrict them in any way, they threaten to sue—and very often do. http://www.danbesse2008.com/DansBlog/tabid/196/EntryID/35/Default.aspx XineWms@aol.com http://www.danbesse2008.com/DansBlog/tabid/196/EntryID/35/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.danbesse2008.com/Default.aspx?tabid=196&EntryID=35 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.danbesse2008.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=35 My road report this week starts at the state Democratic Women's convention in Salisbury on September 22. A big banquet hall full of strong women Democratic leaders assembled there to recognize their achievements for the past year and plan their big push for change in 2008. I was delighted to take part. http://www.danbesse2008.com/DansBlog/tabid/196/EntryID/36/Default.aspx XineWms@aol.com http://www.danbesse2008.com/DansBlog/tabid/196/EntryID/36/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.danbesse2008.com/Default.aspx?tabid=196&EntryID=36 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.danbesse2008.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=36
