We're talking about former people who have served in your job running this organization, very competent people, people with integrity, nonprofit organization, real oversight, real accountability, no corruption, no mafia ties, no really deeply troubling activity.

They are innovating with the most impressive technology so we know exactly where every student is in real time.
1:19:12
They're electrifying school buses.
1:19:14
They are doing everything that should be happening in our school bus industry in New York City.
1:19:19
And instead of elevating them, instead of making sure that they're taking on more every year, we're giving more of these routes to the corrupt school bus companies.
1:19:28
And I'd find it confounding.
1:19:31
Like, to me, we created a real solution and then have not actually supported it, lifted it up, or made sure that it is operating at the scale that it should.
1:19:40
I just explain this to me because I am banging my head against the wall in total confusion at how this could be happening.

Well, the the characterization of the bus companies I I I don't agree with, but I I understand where you're coming from.
