State officials to consider digital billboards

State officials may allow digital billboards along interstate highways and other federal routes in New Mexico
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that today the state Transportation Commission  is scheduled to consider rule changes that could legalize electronic billboards. 
States oversee off-site outdoor advertising along federal highways under agreements with federal agencies. Outdoor advertisers already use digital signs in some places in New Mexico, including within the city of Albuquerque
Critics say the signs are visual blight that damage the night sky. Outdoor advertising companies deny that their signs lighten dark skies.
