Thank you for being here.

And I think even as we're thinking about this and because, I guess, like, among this committee and my committee and and all the things that's happening and just thinking about from the investigation and and as you're putting us together, just trying to propose and think of this make sense of loud and more around, like, sexual assault in general and looking at it more comprehensively in the system and maybe having a big investigation in that since we know that this is happening.
3:31:56
And some of the dwell has happened and happening in the juvenile just juvenile centers and rackers and things like that and thinking about something more comprehensive because I'm always thinking about, like, what makes the most sense.
3:32:06
And, also, we all know that we don't have a well, we do have an abundant resources.
3:32:10
The problem is they like us to think we don't.
3:32:12
But thinking, you know, how do we work together to try to put something comprehensive in and then having an actual budget acts ready for us to me and and nurse to fight to to get in the budget.
3:32:25
I think, Glassier, the only person who's out there advocating for ZOI was counsel member Brewer, but that's because if there's no acts and it's not being processed, we don't know.
3:32:34
And I know for an agency like yours, it gets hard because a lot of times advocates are the ones pushing a lot of the the things, but I think especially how do you use all of the council members to kind of support the the things that you need in order for your agency to operate efficiently and getting the support that you need.
3:32:50
So was just I guess it wasn't a question, but it was just like a a a proposal of thinking about how do we look at this more holistically and not separate because I think that that's also problematic.
3:32:59
Because it's all interconnected.
3:33:01
And a lot of these actors end up in other agencies in in these places?
