Inquiry into sticker on government vehicle

Contentious issue: a public works vehicle with a sticker supporting the Preserve Marriage campaign has sparked a social media debate

The Bermuda Government is investigating after a Public Works vehicle was photographed with a sticker supporting the Preserve Marriage campaign.

The bumper sticker on one of the Government’s Toyota vehicles, urged people to “vote no twice” in opposition to same-sex marriage and civil unions at the referendum on June 23.

After it became the focus of a social media debate over the weekend, the Ministry of Public Works issued a statement on the matter yesterday.

“The ministry can confirm that bumper stickers or other messages affixed to government vehicles other than ministry or department detail are not permitted,” the statement said.

“Therefore, the Ministry of Public Works will take the necessary steps to investigate this matter.”
