Showing my boy, my guy.
1:58:56
I'll take it off.
1:58:57
My god.
1:58:57
My god.
1:58:58
That's my god.
1:58:59
I respect that's my god.
1:59:00
Alright.
1:59:00
What's up, Sean?
1:59:01
What's up?
1:59:01
Alrighty.
1:59:02
What's up?
1:59:02
My name is Christopher Leon Johnson.
1:59:04
So I'm in favor for the bill that's to increase the fines for littering.
1:59:09
Now my thing with with the chair I know you're the new chair for sanitation, but you deserve to be the chair because you really was out in the fights in the last session.
1:59:18
When Sandy was a chair, now she's sharing criminal justice, I think you're most suitable for her.
1:59:23
You know what I mean?
1:59:23
But you're most suitable for the position here.
1:59:25
But this is my thing.
1:59:26
Right?
1:59:27
I I I think that you're the chair with the help of sending nurse and a few of these other accounts members need to introduce a bill to start given people in symptoms for reported littering, just like how you give a sentence for reporting, dumping, and reporting idling, you should get people who said to be reporting littering.
1:59:49
Right?
1:59:49
It doesn't matter if people you know, you increased the bill to $500.
1:59:54
You know, like I said, if you start putting the more initiatives like idling, given people I think, like, was it 25% of the I think it's 25%.
2:00:03
Credit me committee council, 25% of the fee
Shaun Abreu
2:00:07
We can look into that.
Christopher Leon Johnson
2:00:07
Yeah.
2:00:08
25 percent.
2:00:08
Alright.
2:00:08
You know, that amount of money, people will start, you know, be be reporting more littering.
2:00:14
You know, the problem is people who feel they could do what they do because the cops don't force the law and the satanic police don't force the law either.
2:00:21
So without real sanitation enforcement and real inspiration of sanitation sports, I mean, it's like giving people money, what's telling on people, get me put money with snitching.
2:00:30
I like that word.
2:00:31
You have to you know, it's not gonna do anything.
2:00:34
So I say, it's good to increase the fines.
2:00:36
We need money for the city.
2:00:37
We have a big crisis going on.
2:00:39
But you have to start sending tons of people for reporting this stuff because there's no point in reporting.
2:00:44
People not getting paid.
2:00:45
People getting paid for this stuff?
2:00:47
Oh, trust me.
2:00:47
You'll get a lot of porting or littering and idling and dumping and and etcetera.
2:00:52
So just like how you were gonna port, give, like, $200 for $200 for a letter.
2:00:57
Like, you would find business letters per letter.
2:01:00
Need you to say a day.
2:01:02
$100, $25.
2:01:04
That'd be great.
2:01:05
Anybody that didn't need the money.
Shaun Abreu
2:01:06
Mister Johnson, thank you so much for your testimony.
