2:00:51
The inter departmental communication, I think DBS should have a list of commissioners and numbers that the public doesn't.
2:01:00
That so that they can communicate in real time with each other and actually get to actionable circumstance actual actions and not make the person wait the 2 or 3 administrative days that that the public would have to wait.
2:01:15
Otherwise, what is inter department or government?
Robert F. Holden
2:01:19
I agree.
2:01:19
It should it it should be done as quickly as possible.

2:01:22
