LAist: Welcome to Last Fall

Posted Tuesday, April 12, 2005, at 12:30PM by Eric Richardson

LAist today gives us this great observation:

We saw this billboard on Vine at Selma. Is it still up?

Nevada sure isn't pulling its punches as it lures business away from our sorry state.

Is Nevada's message accurate?

"They" include what is a good picture of the Nevada "terminated" billboards, so I'll give credit there. But, uhh... Those billboards have been running since October of last year. For instance, here's a picture I took on October 15th, 2004, just a few miles from my apartment. I thought the point of blogs was to be current. Perhaps the post just got caught at the editor's desk.

Too bad they couldn't add any insight to the "sorry state" bit. I happen to think that the small business tax reform passed in LA recently might improve the business climate, but I don't know if that makes the state's message accurate or not.
