New Idea from Canada: Fee on Billboards to Fund Public Art
A new project called The Beautiful City Billboard Fee (BCBF).
The BCBF proposes that billboard companies pay an annual fee with the proceeds used to commission public art. If initiated, the BCBF will add a grassroots touch to the “Year of Creativity 2006” and provide further support for the Mayor’s “Clean & Beautiful City” initiative. The BCBF could fund the renewal and celebration of local communities through creative expression.
According to a Pollara opinion poll (whatever that is), the majority of Canadians support this fee idea. It certainly has a logic to it!# posted @ 11:41 PM
