Adopt-a-Highway
Re “Freeway Cleanup Program Generates Jam of Sponsors,” Dec. 18:
Leave it to the bureaucracy to ruin a good thing. The Adopt-A-Highway program is a useful and innovative idea that is accomplishing its goal, i.e., cleaning the freeways and other highways of debris at no cost to the taxpayer. So the people and companies are getting some publicity for which they are paying. So what! Now the staff director would tamper with the program to make them pay for the “free publicity.” He would be better served if he initiated a program to rid his highways of graffiti--even at the cost of free publicity.
