Scene from the Sidewalk: Lit Dropped

As I walk through Arlington's 47th district talking to voters about my campaign for House of Delegates, I always come across fliers for various businesses that have been left at doors -- with varying degrees of care. A few are neatly tucked into doors, but most are left hastily -- and some are just thrown on the doorstep, like this one for Papa John's:


It results in litter across the county -- first in our neighborhoods as the fliers blow away, then in our streams as they wash down storm drains. Many are so heavily coated in chemicals they won't biodegrade easily.
