Okay.
1:14:30
Just so you know, are two charter revision commissions right now, even more transparent not.
1:14:36
One, the speaker.
1:14:37
I didn't know about the speakers, I must admit.
1:14:39
Now I testified there.
1:14:40
And then we're gonna be testifying at the mayor.
1:14:43
So it's very crazy for the public even to understand this.
1:14:46
So you're not alone in the transparency problem.

On the public restrooms, wanted to say years ago, the problem was not only people worrying about the homeless, nobody wants one in their neighborhood.
1:14:56
So we had plans many years ago under Bloomberg and they went bye bye because he couldn't find a place to put them.
1:15:02
So it's thank goodness for your op ed, but it's endless.
