Thank you, mister chair.
1:26:56
And my apologies.
1:26:57
I had a bill being heard next door.
1:26:59
Commissioner, welcome.
1:27:00
Good morning.
1:27:01
First, I wanna thank you for the walk through that we did in my district, a few weeks ago.
1:27:06
It meant a lot, for you to go to different parts of my district that are suffering.
1:27:09
One from the opioid crisis on Third Avenue, A Hundred And 40 Ninth Street.
1:27:14
Also highlighting the illegal dumping that we're having, and it's unfortunate.
1:27:18
A lot of it is from individuals that are illegally selling fruits in our communities.
1:27:23
They don't have a place to store or to get to dispose of their fruits that they cannot sell.
1:27:29
So it's unfortunate that our communities are suffering from that.
1:27:33
And then coming down to the Huntsman community, right, to to see how illegal dumping is affecting an industrial part of our district.
1:27:41
And you were swift with your actions and especially your chief.
1:27:45
He deserves whatever accommodation or raise you wanna give
Frank Marshall
1:27:48
him, believe it or not.
Javier Lojan
1:27:49
Just make
Rafael Salamanca, Jr.
1:27:49
sure you tell him that.
1:27:50
And I just wanted to say thank you.
