[Atmob-club] [Atmob-announce] towns with LP laws

[Lawrence Moss]

I can almost guarantee that Worcester does NOT have a light pollution 
law... One of the active local businesses is a company that rents search 
lights for events such as store grand openings, etc.  These search 
lights are primarily WWII vintage 6 or 8 foot diameter lights such as 
were used for anti-aircraft searching. Also, a few years back when the 
city was changing over it's street lights, I spoke to the director of 
Public Works about having fully hooded lights.  He rejected the idea 
because "citizens want to see the glowing globe as they drive around at 
night."  Then he told me he knew about light pollution issues because 
his son worked at Kitt Peak.  These are the mind sets we have to battle.
