And obviously, you know, the legislation is a framework.
2:33:47
It doesn't it doesn't have the details and always the devil is in fact in the details.
2:33:52
And and until we see those details and we fight about them, we will hold this with very cautious optimism of moving forward to do the right thing and and find policy solutions where they're applicable, but I still think we have a whole lot of other work to do both in design and citizen.
2:34:17
And right now we have a federal government that would be defunding, in fact, many of the tools that we were implementing, like alternative methods and, you know, clean air tools.
2:34:29
So that doesn't take New York City off the hook and because of your advocacy, we're gonna continue to push New York City to do better by its residents and its businesses.
2:34:39
And yeah.
2:34:41
So thank you.
2:34:42
Thank you for your testimony.
