But we are we are here to listen.
0:44:17
You we have the top two people at this restaurant here.
0:44:21
They want to hear specifically what the issues are.
0:44:23
If there are members of the community here today in opposition, we want to hear from them.
0:44:27
They're experienced operators.
0:44:29
They understand how this process works.
