Pls help influence the mayor of S.D. and vote NO for his replacing usage of
well shielded low pressure sodium lighting fixtures with unshielded acorn
type high pressure sodium fixtures.
We here at Palomar Mtn are finding it increasingly difficult to star gaze
with the existing lights and seven new casinos in the area.
Pls pass this request on to the other members of your club.
Thank you,
Nancy Moon
