City of L.A. sues SkyTag over supergraphics

In court documents filed Friday, City Attorney Carmen Trutanich asked for $2,500 for each day that the Beverly Hills company allegedly violated Los Angeles rules. The damages could reach tens of millions of dollars, Trutanich's chief deputy, William Carter, told the Times. The suit, according to the Times, says that SkyTag and president Michael McNeilly deprived the city of permitting fees, created traffic hazards and endangered people inside buildings where windows were covered by the ad wraps.
