Have you ever driven through a state that has banned billboards? It was beautiful, wasn't it?
This guy is a jerk, IMHO.
William H. Thomas, a Memphis outdoor-advertising operator and attorney, is pushing a lawsuit against the state and federal laws that regulate billboards, reports the Commercial Appeal. The lawsuit comes after years of Thomas defiantly putting up billboards without permits, refusing to take them down when ordered to do so and he even used a sign to attack specific state officials as “corrupt.”
