• Brighton Twp. residents can now join five-year 'do not solicit' list (livingstondaily.com) — Brighton Township residents can now place their homes on a five-year "do not solicit" list after officials tightened rules for door-to-door sales following a reported attempted abduction. The updated ordinance requires fingerprint-based background checks, local ID badges, and regular criminal audits for solicitors, while canvassers must check the no-solicit list daily. Township leaders also set new permit lengths, fees, and named the clerk as enforcement officer.
