Who doesn’t like coupons? Well, certain lawmakers don’t, it seems. Because it turns out that offering coupons for some products is against the law.

A car dealer in Illinois is accused of offering “illegal coupons” in a lawsuit filed by the state Attorney General, who says its advertised discounts are part of a pattern of deceptive, prohibited marketing schemes.  Why are there so many stupid laws on the Illinois books?  Although I’m readying some cozy mysteries set in Indiana and boy, they have some doozies 🙂
