Working toward legislation to curb light pollution in Illinois.
Our coalition will be keeping track when lighting-related issues come up on the agendas in Illinois municipalities and counties, and in the state legislature itself. Sign up to be on our mailing list, and we'll let you know when there are such issues for you to voice your opinion on as a taxpayer. But, you don't have to wait until then! Any time is a good time to write or call your municipal, county, or state leaders, and let them know that outdoor lighting practice is an important issue to you (the person paying their salary), and that they should study up on the issue (again, feel free to recommend this website as a good starting place). To find the contact information for state senators and representatives, you can visit this State of Illinois page; if you need to find out who they are, you can search using your address at this State Board of Elections page. Or, try this service which also lists U.S. Congress members. Our political representatives do pay attention when constituents phone or write in with their concerns; let yours know what you think! |
