Illinois City considers selling ads on city property

The Chicago Tribune reports:
Naperville, brought to you by a company with deep pockets.

The idea of corporate logos plastered on benches, asphalt or buildings in the west suburb might not be far-fetched.

Faced with another budget deficit next year, Naperville is considering an unusual option for long-term revenue: giving corporations exclusive rights to advertise on city property.
Sorry to correct the Tribune but Naperville is a city with over 100,000 people.
