Cell block

In a welcome stroke of good sense, state lawmakers have passed a bill that forbids school bus drivers from talking on their cell phones while behind the wheel -- except in emergencies. The governor ought to sign it.

The good news is that the bill has been approved. The bad news is that it was needed in the first place.

The School System, statewide, is one place where supervisors seem to have poor management skills and poor judgement. One in a while, you find one that has good skills, but it is a rariety.

Doug Johnson said:

Now if we could get a law that covers the rest of the drivers!

Allen Johnson said:

Judging from today's story, the ban on teen drivers using cell phones behind the wheel has been what we feared: meaningless.
