Hi, John:
ReplyDeleteI would include government websites for your questions since they are they enact and enforce laws. I agree that the Target question uses heightened language but you might also check the business press/newspapers for that current events take. You seem to grasp what information you'll find in various resources. Trying to discern what kind of information would best answer your question can help guide your research and start in a useful place.
Cheers,
Andrea
