From the transcript
Um, June 1st, and, uh, it's better for anybody in the public to find an assembly member to talk to in advance because very little will be done right here during that time. Because like everybody is saying, it's going to take a lot to readjust all this. And I'd like to note to the public that it's really easy to say just put a blanket stop over everything, but it's never that easy. And I know that Liz has spent a lot of time with our lawyer going back and forth to make this as tight as she could Even though we still have to abide by an old 1996 Telecom Act, right? We still have to abide by that.
