As I recall at one time a free local newspaper was allowed to be distributed in the Municipal building, but it was stopped. I would like to suggest that if a newspaper is specifically for Villa Park and provides news about the village and people and is not just a paper filled with ads that it again be allowed to be displayed on a rack for free in the building on the first floor. The vendor must take responsibility for picking up the previous paper when the new one is dropped off. I find this to be a benefit tar the village. Unlike neighboring towns, there is not a special issue of the online Patch newspaper which is free, so a free local newspaper seems desireable. People who pick up the newspaper should not just discard it on the property as litter, and if they do they should be handled according to our laws against littering. If publishers of other newspapers complain, they should be told they can make their newspaper available also in this manner if it is free.
