But I just want to share, want to state again you know for the record, and I know I see city hall liaisons here, there was a commitment and it is not reflected in the budget.
3:59:28
What are we doing if we are negotiating for the best interest of our city and we're not seeing those commitments.
3:59:34
So I where did he go?
3:59:38
Yeah there he goes, all right.
3:59:39
You know who you are, please please bring that to OMB.
3:59:44
Matt, please bring that to OMB.
3:59:46
There is a commitment, we want to see these staff lines in these agencies.
3:59:49
They are they're receiving additional responsibility and we need to keep New Yorkers safe as we as we do these legalizations and we change these policies.
3:59:59
