Advertising on town property
The city of Norwalk is getting paid to allow advertising on its trash cans.Creative Outdoor Advertising will provide, maintain, empty and, if needed, cut grass around the 6-foot-long containers for free.In exchange, the firm will sell advertising space on the containers and give the city about $10 a month for each (Norwalk Advocate, by Matt Breslow).
Several times over the past few years, I've suggested the town sell advertising space on town property... in an effort to offset costs and taxes. For instance, why not rent advertising space at the pool or at ballfields? (Although I don't think it would be appropriate to place advertisements on our police cars.)
What do you think about selling advertising space on town property?

I would hate to see the town resort to selling public space for advertising. Are we not already saturated with adertisements? Or are there residents unaware of which brand of chips is the cheesiest? I think the town could come up with more creative and fun ways to generate revenue. How about a set of town council trading cards? Or better yet, voodoo dolls in the likeness of each member of the town council.
the voodoo dolls could come with an assortment of pins with colored heads for doing the evil deeds, too!!!
