Electronic billboards are now banned in the City of Tacoma.
The city council voted to outlaw them even after agreeing to ten of the billboards with Clear Channel Outdoor.
“I think it’s a matter of trying to find a way to do what’s going to be best for the city,” Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland tells KING 5.
Residents applauded the move, but attorneys say it could open the city up to a lawsuit.
“If there is a legal battle, we will have to deal with it as it comes,” said Strickland.
