I just want to ask about newsstands quickly. They are no longer selling newspapers. So down the line, I’d love to hear your input as to what they should be doing Because it’s not really fair for them to get a summons when there’s no newspaper that anybody’s going to read. So something to think about.Gale A. BrewerMember · Committee on Consumer and Worker Protection · Feb 23, 2026Open the meeting at 42:30
