Ads On School Buses Bill Passes House

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...By a 69-27 vote, the House approved a bill that would allow advertising on school buses. Democratic state Representative Terry Mills of Lebanon said the intent of his bill is to give school districts the option as a means of raising revenue. He emphasized that the measure "does not mandate a change." Representative Brad Montell, a Shelbyville Republican, said that schoolchildren are "bombarded with advertising" already and that having ads on the sides of school buses could be a distraction to other drivers.
