House debating school bus ads bill
The amended version of SB 1111a, to allow ads on school buses, is being debated now in the House. "Certainly we're not talking about wrapping the bus, we're talking about a simple ad on the bus and as a result, generating some funds," Rep. Reed DeMordaunt, R-Eagle, told the House. Rep. Wendy Jaquet, D-Ketchum, said she appreciated the amendments to the bill, but still felt it would compete with local weekly newspapers for advertising business and pose a safety hazard when advertising messages are moving along the highways. "This is really not a road that we want to go down," she said.
