For example, in Atlanta, our MARTA buses are completely covered with ads making it somewhat distracting when you drive by one. Great topic though.

I feel it cheapens government overall to do so. I think there is something to be said for maintaining the professionalism, integrity and a sense of authority of our government on every face and this does not accomplish that goal. I also feel that it gives the appearance that we cannot properly manage our budget - that we have to sell ourselves out to provide a standard service, such as a website. Would we suggest such things about taxi tents on cop cars? "This arrest brought to you by Kleenex" I agree with your post completely and hope that government administrators will not continue to cop out by cheapinging the online brand of government. Keep up the good work! You echo a lot of the points I have raised when this topic comes up (and it does come up, again and again).

The front-end also makes it much easier to access department and bureau information.
