Officials deny minors' access to porn sales in Carbondale
City leaders state no complaints exist about businesses selling adult materials to minors. City Attorney Paige Reed says city and police have received no reports of minors being exposed to pornography. Activists Kara Dunkel and Burke Shade argued against adult materials, presenting a 365-signature petition urging stricter enforcement and zoning to curb such shops. The petition cites alleged child access and community harms, while Reed notes the city handles this through ordinances rather than police reports.
