I know that, many of my colleagues are deeply concerned about just the extraordinary influence that big money can have in overwhelming what we're allowed to spend ourselves with our, with the spending caps in place, and thinking about ways that we can better level the playing field, either revisiting, Council Member Lander, now Comptroller Lander's legislation or other approaches, I think is important and timely.
