/ September 4, 2012As I understand it, the town policy says no political ads and some are saying this is a political issue. But there are Planned Parenthood ads on the bus and that is certainly a political issue. So before council members make decisions about what constitutes “political” (I believe Penny Rich has already come out in opposition of the ad in question), I hope they will think through the entire spectrum of issues that might or might not be allowed under whatever new rules they propose.

/ September 9, 2012I haven’t paid close attention in a while to the content of ads on buses, but I thought there was an ad from some church spotlighting it’s progressivism over the years and being welcoming of same-sex couples. Given that marriage is still a contentious political issue, should those messages be permitted?
