Inspired by retired officer Frank Esposito’s frustration with relentless solicitors (nicknamed “Frank’s Law”), the town now bans unsolicited visits outside set hours (10 AM–4 PM) and fines violators more heavily. While political and religious groups remain exempt to protect free speech, this move sets a powerful precedent—offering peace of mind for vulnerable or privacy-conscious homeowners while helping legitimate solicitors focus their efforts where they’re welcome. Orange is now ahead of most neighbors in balancing community outreach with quiet living. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
