• Layoffs Climb In The IE's Warehousing, Logistics Sectors (patch.com) — Hundreds of logistics jobs are being cut at Geodis’s Rialto facility on West Baseline Road, with 238 permanent layoffs expected by early July. The move comes amid broader warehousing job losses across the Inland Empire and rising unemployment in San Bernardino County, signaling ongoing pressure on local workers tied to the region’s once booming distribution sector. 
• LA Council Calls for Ban Selling Nitrous Oxide Products (mynewsla.com) — Rialto gets a notable shout-out as Los Angeles moves to model a citywide nitrous oxide sales ban on Rialto’s 2017 ordinance, which restricted sales to protect youth. LA councilmembers say flavored nitrous products and discarded canisters are fueling health and safety concerns, and they’ve now asked the city attorney to draft a similar law with exemptions for legitimate medical and industrial uses.
