Yeah.
10:00:19
I know.
10:00:19
It sounds like it may not matter anyway.
10:00:21
But, I mean, honestly, you know, he put his life on the line.
10:00:25
I'm there because he's a friend, but he is honestly, I think after you listen to all the testimony that you heard here today and I urge you to read my written testimony and all people who testified here today, you know, he represents the people like the district attorney does.
10:00:42
He's gonna be independent.
10:00:44
I know this.
10:00:44
I know his character.
10:00:45
I've known him for so many years.
10:00:47
And, you know, look, you can't have a do good things in life without having people criticizing you, you know, every once in a while.
10:00:54
This is what happened today.
10:00:55
I still think he's gonna do an amazing job.
10:00:57
I think you should give him a chance.
10:00:59
And I refer to my testimony that's previous, and I really think the council, you know, really should you know, I don't think the members of the council here truly reflect the opinions of everybody in this city.
10:01:13
And there's a lot of people I know who are here to testify that had to leave, and that's just not fair.
10:01:19
I I respectfully request that you have a separate public hearing tomorrow or some other time where you hear from people from the public because we're taxpayers, and I want Randy in there.
10:01:29
And you could see he would steward.
