Electronic billboard drawing strong reactions

CHAMPAIGN – A new electronic billboard along Kirby Avenue is drawing strong reactions from city residents.

"I'm hearing about it, from a couple of people who don't like it," said council member Michael La Due. "I think the city council might want to revisit it. I don't know that we want Champaign to look like downtown Tokoyo."
