I don't know if it It's not.
0:39:32
But the last hearing we had, someone from the administration said that a tree stump was removed.
0:39:40
So I went and started telling people that this tree stump was removed.
0:39:44
And then, like, 2 weeks later, I'm driving by going to work, and I see the tree stump is still there.
0:39:51
So how could someone on your panel tell me one thing and it really was not done?

That's what I've been getting that message for a minute now, but I just wanna know how could somebody on the panel, the last hearing we had said that the tree stump was removed, and I find out it was not.
0:40:21
I feel someone should be held accountable because You can't say that it was done and it was not done.
0:40:29
And you told this whole body here.
0:40:32
And I got one more other question.
