CHICAGO BANS DISTRIBUTION OF FREE NEWSPAPERS
[SOURCE: Inside, AUTHOR: Ronald Roenigk]
The Chicago City Council voted 50-0 to outlaw the distribution of free newspapers, periodicals, and directories inside the city limits. The legislation also outlaws leaving "unsecured bundles" of papers in both public and private property. This is precisely how many of Chicago’s community, alternative, and ethnic newspapers are currently delivered.
