I thank Chair Liber, President Critchlow for their commitment mom, it's just been extremely heartbreaking to see, these videos.

And when council member Riley reached out to me, he actually sent me the video when he, observed it, and it, like, shattered me.

And so we've been full force ahead on this as, colleagues, as you saw how today the day was full, because this council considers this a top priority.

Senator Connery also was on, but had to jump for a meeting.

He will be, submitting his testimony for the record, and this is something that is a concern for him, as well as chairman for corporations in the state senate.
