The Village of Niles, north of Chicago, has not embraced the Internet revolution. In fact, in a classic case of David vs. Goliath, the suburb is fighting e-commerce to protect its sales tax base. The village has spent $35,000 for two TV spots that are running on local cable stations, urging viewers to shop in Niles, not online.
One is dubbed “Expert” and shows actress Angie Stavrianos in front of what look to be law books talking about the potential pitfalls of e-commerce–fraud, online theft and high fees among the warnings.
