LAWSUIT PROMPTS EATON

(Eaton, OH)--Eaton’s City Council has set new regulations regarding door-to-door salespeople and solicitors.  For decades, door-to-door sales had been banned in Eaton.  That ended recently after Omni Fiber filed a lawsuit, which claimed that the ban was unconstitutional.  Now, those types of sales will be permitted.  But, a license will be required and sale attempts can only be made during certain times of the day.  The ordinance exempts nonprofit and community groups like school organizations and scouts.
