BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - An atheist group can post "You can be good without God" ads on Bloomington city buses.
An agreement announced Monday evening at the Bloomington Public Transportation Corporation's building ends a federal lawsuit filed in May by the Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign.
The Herald-Times of Bloomington says the agreement allows the group to pay standard rate for the ads, which they can post as often, and on as many buses, as they choose.
The transit corporation also agreed to reimburse the ACLU-Indiana for a significant portion of their legal expenses. The transit corporation previously said the proposed ads violated its advertising policy, which bans statements for or against "controversial public issues."
Transit corporation officials were not immediately available for comment.
