LIVES STILL AT RISK AT 10801

Alarmist, Overblown... you be the judge.

In lieu of an order from the fire department to take his Mega Supergraphics' Sign down, and a cry from the City of Los Angeles including a 23 count criminal complaint handed down by City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo last Friday, owner Frank Rahban of 10801 National Blvd. in Los Angeles, continues to defy the order.

When this supergraphic (thank Pepsico, Inc. for being part of this) went up on Tues. evening, Jan. 13th, common sense told us, this can't be a safe thing to drape across the building.

We took action and the fire dept. came and cited the building and told them the sign had to be removed by Thurs. Jan 29th -- YES!

The L.A. Times took action and splashed a front page story about this problem on Tues. Jan. 20th -- YES!

The city took action and held a press conference joined by the media -- Council member Jack Weiss and City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo on Wed. Jan 28th right at the foot of 10801 -- YES!

The city again took action and filed criminal charges against the owner and others for defying the order to take down the sign on Fri. Jan. 29th -- YES!

Once again, it's obvious that the laws are not strong enough to prevent this injustice even when lives are at stake.

We're asking for more media coverage right now.

Also, we're also asking for the 41st mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio R. Villaraigosa to step forward.
