But so my my statement is really just about hoping to as as as has been mentioned, it's not your responsibility to fix it.
0:47:40
Hours in the in the mayor's office, in the mayor.
0:47:44
But we know we know it's broken.
0:47:45
We know our vendors are operating in the shadows anywhere between 50 to maybe even 70% of our street vendors out there today are not licensed in the way that would make it legal for them.
0:47:57
To be doing their work, and that's an unjust way to govern bending in the city of New York.
0:48:03
So it truly you know, just look forward to I'm I'm very thankful and congratulations to all of my colleagues for the bills that are, you know, getting the rubber stamp today and will be negotiated over the coming months, but really also hoping that we can bring the vending regime in the city of New York up to something that is fair and something that is going to treat our street vendors with dignity across the city.
0:48:27
So I I have a particular bill, of course, that I I think would be very helpful in this debate and discussion, and I look forward to having those conversations.
0:48:36
Thank you administration.
0:48:37
Thank you so much, madam.
