New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has signed a law which will allow advertisements to be placed on school buses. The school districts will set their own rates, with half the money collected required to go towards fuel costs. The other half of the money can be used any way the district sees fit. Ads for tobacco, alcohol, and political purposes will not be allowed.
Now we need to depend on the districts to make sure the ads are both tasteful and don't prey on our children. No ads for candy or soda. No ads featuring religous messages of any kind. How about birth control? I'm starting to get the picture that our kid's school buses will start looking like Nascar Sprint Cup racecars.
Whatever the case, I would definitely expect to not see a rise in property taxes for the schools once this takes effect. The schools more than anyone should be teaching our children that a little creativity and responsibility can go a long way.
