Randy, I just wanna say, Mister Mastro, I just wanna say thank you very, very much for your patience.
8:07:28
Your time.
8:07:29
And I look at you and I see a plus plus because I really see level ground with you and sense sensibility through you with you And I really think that that's what this needs.
8:07:43
This board of governing needs.
8:07:44
We just need a level head, and I think you and you're gonna be in charge of what how many lawyers, 800?
Randy Mastro
8:07:51
It it has a potential to be up 800.
8:07:53
There have been some Well, there's some some depletion in the ranks.
Vickie Paladino
8:07:56
It's plenty of work for 800 of them.
8:07:59
So all I'm saying is I think what this city needs is balance.
8:08:03
I think it's been off balance for quite some time.
8:08:07
And I think you would bring the balance to this council through your understanding, through your open door policy, through your past experience, and your present experience.
8:08:18
I think you are the complete package.
8:08:20
And I, sir, for one, speak on behalf of myself, my colleagues in the common sense caucus.
8:08:27
We truly do believe that you are the man for the job, and I really hope that this counsel and this committee seriously takes all your assets and everything that you've given of yourself, both privately and publicly into a great deal of consideration and does not, you know, see you go down in a bowl of flames, and this was a waste of time.
8:08:50
Thank you very much everybody.
8:08:52
Have a wonderful evening.
