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.
