27 east and cbs local report that the Southampton Town Board is attempting to dissuade the Shinnecock Indian nation from constructing two 61 foot tall billboards along the Sunrise Highway in Hampton Bays.  The town of Southhampton intends to issue a stop work order.  The Indians say the the town has no authority over tribal land.  Insider’s take:  The Indians are going to win.  Tribes can do what they want on their land.  Washington State has a very restrictive sign code and the state prohibits digital signs along freeways.
