Billboards will stay on longer under a last minute amendment, while outdoor lighting and HVAC use are reduced. Disconnection can follow unresolved violations after five days.

Louisiana board keeps 50 year dope sentence in place
Louisiana Pardons and Paroles Board on Tuesday recommended against reducing the 50 year prison term for Robert E. Apablaza of New York, who sold marijuana in New Orleans. Apablaza, 35, was arrested in March 1967 for selling a matchboxful of marijuana to undercover investigators. He faces a long parole-eligible sentence only after decades. His New York attorney called the decision shocking, noting lighter sentences for violent crimes. The case drew comment on justice and sentencing disparities.
