I wanna touch on just a couple other things when I do wanna echo the concerns about storm water.
4:05:33
We have a lot of flooding in my district.
4:05:35
And one of the big DEP Parks projects that is supposed to alleviate that is the daylighting of Tibbett Brook.
4:05:41
I know you I I'm looking at slide, page 69, where it says there have been investments in stormwater flooding prevention.
4:05:47
I would note that in that particular project, which is supposed to alleviate pressures on our on our sewer system.
4:05:55
I think it was $8,000,000 was actually cut from that project.
4:05:59
And so the the, I guess, talking point for lack of a better word doesn't actually match the actions of this administration in terms of investing in those projects.
4:06:11
And the and the second thing I was just mentioned because I know my time's up, but if I may have 15 more seconds.
