Editor, Daily News:
Three days in a row now I have seen a truck, likely one of several trucks, that is actually a fuel-burning, road-clogging, moving billboard!
The first day it was on Davis Boulevard, and I thought it was in bad taste.
The second day it was at the intersection of Goodlette-Frank Road and U.S. 41 East. I thought it was a waste of resources to drive around all day to promote a semi-monopoly phone company.
The third day it was on U.S. 41 North at a stop light. This time I realized this could further clog our streets.
I got mad, took a picture and decided to write this letter.
I am no "greenie." I love big trucks, boats and fast cars. Driving a truck around wasting fuel, polluting our air and clogging our roads to add to the visual pollution in our community is way over the edge.
The company operating these trucks has every right to do so. We as customers have every right to not support the companies that advertise in this manner. I will not patronize any business that advertises in this manner.
I have been considering canceling my traditional phone service and getting phone service from the cable company and this was the last straw. I hope others will agree that diesel trucks driving around with billboards on them is obscene and they have no place in our community.
