Good afternoon, commissioner.

Thank you very much, chairwoman.

I I I have to say, I'm a little disappointed with, the lack of answers that you're able to give us today.

This sounds like something these 3 bills sound like something that's extremely important, to a great many New Yorkers who are suffering with or born with these disabilities.

Let me just say I drove an hour and a half to get here today, and my, chairwoman here is gonna have a baby anytime.

So I would've I I know, but I would've hoped that you would've been just a bit better prepared for us.

So with that being said, I have to leave because I have to drive another 2 hours home, and thank you very much.
