Comments should be directed to the chair, council members.
1:03:27
Let's a friendly reminder, comments to be directed to the chair.
Vickie Paladino
1:03:30
Let's point that in the right direction.
1:03:33
This is absolutely unbelievable.
1:03:36
First off, the division here is is is abominable.
1:03:41
I wanna credit my colleague, Eric, in the way in which he conducted his statement.
1:03:47
It was eloquent.
1:03:48
It was the truth.
1:03:50
And you spoke beautifully.
1:03:51
So thank you, Eric, for that.
1:03:54
When hostility meets hostility, we have a problem here.
1:03:59
And why do you think these problems continue?
1:04:02

1:04:07
With that being said, to keep attacking somebody for their beliefs one way or the other just does not work.
1:04:16
So how dare you?

1:04:24
got it.
1:04:24
No worries.
1:04:25
I am going to vote no on 1,200, 12 o one, twelve o three, twelve o four, and two forty six, and I vote I on the rest.
1:04:39
This is not personal.
1:04:41
This is just the way it is.
1:04:43
Okay?
1:04:43
Thank you very much.
1:04:45
Enough is enough.
