I mean, look, I think that this is really important.
1:46:01
Chair cares about this.
1:46:02
This council cares about it.
1:46:03
This is gonna make a really big difference in the quality of life in our communities, and we wanna get it out there as quickly as possible.
1:46:09
This is a win for the city Of New York, for the workers, for the businesses, for the people.
1:46:14
We need to get it done and get it done faster.
1:46:15
And then I would just be remiss if I didn't take a second to say, this was the baby of council member Antonio Reynoso at the time, now our borough president, and he really poured blood, sweat, and tears into building this coalition up, into getting this legislation over the finish line, and made this an enormous priority of the previous council.
1:46:33
And I just wanna credit him.
1:46:35
And I know that if he was sitting in my seat and and grilling you all today, he would have his hair on fire with the timelines that we're working on.
1:46:42
And so I'm channeling him because I think this is really important and I do hope that you all will come back with opportunities for us to go faster.
1:46:50
Thank you, chair.
