I want to thank Assemblywoman Jessica Gonzalez Rojas who introduced this originally.
1:26:07
We've been pushing as you know on the council level, the speaker as well as city hall to get the restoration of these funds since we were all elected and took office in 2022.
1:26:20
And I also senator Gustavo Rivera is the one that put in the senate the senate version of it and he will be testifying at some point today.
1:26:29
The assemblywoman could not make it here today but she is submitting testimony and she's been a real champion of that.
1:26:35
So we're thankful to her.
1:26:37
So now I wanna turn it over to my colleague, council member Narcisse to ask questions.
