The momentum behind this effort has grown into a powerful testament to our shared commitment to New Mexico's night skies. It is clear that the public values this natural resource and expects our laws to be upheld with integrity.

How can a Commission just go ahead on their own to allow something that is prohibited by law? Whoever allowed this contrevention of law should be fired immediately!
Travelers are constant in their praise of the New Mexico skies, especially the night skies. Why risk the ruination of a #1 attraction with redundant useless advertising, which does interfere with safe driving.
Please don't go against your own good policy of keeping our night skies dark, as outlined in your own 1999 Night Skky Protection Act. A group of amateur astronomers are working very hard to establish a location in SW NM, Granite Gap, and do everything we can to acquaint the public with the loss of our dark skies!!
I am an amateur astrophotographer who is planning on moving to New Mexico in the not-too-distant future to escape the light pollution of my current residence. These billboards will help repel people like me.
Allowing more electronic signs was NOT in the interest of the public, but in the interest of outdoor advertising companies. It was also NOT in the interest of attracting tourists who come to New Mexico because of the dark skies which the electronic signs degrade.
As a resident of east coast, if you do not protect
Please please please don't light up our pristine New Mexico dark night skies!

As an amateur astronomer with a home in Teuque, I strongly agree that light polution, in this case in the form of electronic billboards, is to be avoided. As you would not wish to throw garbage on our roads and pollute the land, you should not wish to shine bright lights which pollute our night sky. Thank you.
