Thank you, majority leader.
1:36:06
Colin, I just, wanna say that I'm so grateful, to have gotten to serve with you.
1:36:13
When I got to the city council in the middle of 2021, I got in at a time when most members were full speed ahead on their way out the door.
1:36:23
And you took the time then as you do every day now to sit with me and and lend me an ear, be someone I can talk to, ask for advice.
1:36:38
And although we often reach different conclusions, by the way, Manari's leader is not here, but I think you're very popular despite what he says.
1:36:50
I know that when I speak to you, your advice, your counsel, or everything you're saying is rooted in in a in a value system and not rooted in what I think a lot of politicians get caught up in, which is outside forces, outside politics.
1:37:07
I know you're someone who cares about your community and, by the way, knows and appreciates the Bronx having worked there for so long, which I personally appreciate.
1:37:19
And I I I'm certainly gonna gonna miss someone who cares so much about their values, about their community, and cares about the institution.
1:37:33
And I know that you're moving, I'll say, laterally to the New York State House, but moving to another position.
1:37:42
And although you won't be we won't be serving together anymore, I'm certainly gonna be calling on you, for advice when I need it.
1:37:50
And I hope you have a good time hanging out with and working with a different Inuits.
1:37:57
So I I wish you the best as you make your way over to the state house.
