10:19:03

Yeah.

10:19:03

Just wanna correct the record.

10:19:04

Thank you so much.

10:19:05

Thank you all for your testimony.

10:19:07

I know it's frustrating.

10:19:08

It's late.

10:19:10

And we understand very much that Mister Mastro has huge support.

10:19:15

That is not an issue at all.

10:19:17

I do wanna correct the record.

10:19:19

It was not stated, and I'm paraphrasing, it was not stated that everyone that was speaking in behalf of Mister Mastro, we're lobbyists.

10:19:28

I'm gonna paraphrase what was said was that there are some who are supporting Mister Mastro perhaps speaking today who are lobbyists and are doing business with the city.

10:19:40

That is what was said today.

10:19:41

Okay.

Louis J. Coletti

I just wanted to make it clear and defining who I was and I was not one of those people.
