You've done a great job.

So thank you very much for championing many of the things that me and my constituents are concerned about.
1:43:24
And commissioners, good to see you and your team.

I'll just shout out Rebecca in particular.
1:43:44
Whenever we bother her with any issue, she comes up with a solution and puts us in touch with exactly the right person, and we really appreciate it.
1:43:52
I do just also I'll thank you for one other thing, and then I'll start asking questions, is at the last time I was at a hearing with the Department of Sanitation, we asked about the feasibility of a 25 gallon bin to help my constituents effectively containerize their garbage.
1:44:10
And I am immensely grateful that you and your team took that suggestion and have actually tried to make it happen.
1:44:15
And so I know there's, you know, some final steps you guys are working through, but I'm really appreciative that you're willing to hear from us, take our suggestions, and try to actually make them happen.
1:44:25
And I know that my constituents are going to be thrilled when they start to see the 25 gallon bins as an option for them in their homes.
1:44:32
Okay.
