There there must be a separate line item for rent.

It's the only fair way to approach this issue.

Don't understand why one sixth of your budget should go toward rent instead of advancing fairness and safety in our borough.

And I hope that the council can rally hard with in partnership with you, and the Brooklyn delegation can work hard in partnership with you to push OMB and the mayor to do the right thing.
