Hello chairs Brannan, Abreu, and Hudson.
5:36:03
I know you're the lane you was hearing, so but thank you for having this hearing today.
5:36:06
Thanks for staying out here, mister Brannan.
5:36:08
I'm calling on the city council to allocate $6,000,000, 2 million dollars each to work with this project, local MENA, and the street vendor project for sanitation related purposes because they are known for doing their work and not clean up after themselves or if they do certain things, they don't know how to properly dispose.
5:36:28
So I'm calling on the city council to give them some money to, help with that situation.
5:36:34
I'm calling you, the chair of the finance committee, into, looking into the mayor's office and asking why that the Leverista hub is not built outside city hall.
5:36:44
You're the chair.
5:36:45
You're the finance chair.
5:36:46
You should be asking the mayor or the the department any of these departments like why that sanitation hub is not built.
5:36:54
I know I can't be political, but I know that you deserve that in labor endorsement from NYC CLC.
5:37:02
And I believe the way you should get it, you can get it mister Brannon, is by proving to them that you can get that deliveries to hub outside City Hall.
5:37:09
I believe that once you get that deliveries to outside City Hall, mister Brandon, you will get that CLC endorsement over Mark they'll probably revoke that endorsement from Mark Levine and they'll give it to you.
5:37:18
So I'm calling you, the the chair of the finance committee, mister Brandon, to, find a way.
5:37:23
You have enough time before June to get that delivery to help built.
5:37:27
I know there's a sanitation hearing.
5:37:29
You could easy call for the sanitation department to get that sanitation hub removed.
5:37:33
They already got it's already been approved by the city council, the the plant commission, and build that hub.
5:37:37
You need to build that hub on behalf of the immigrants here.
5:37:40
I know you spoke out here on Saturday in trying to defend defend the mayor of New Newark, New Jersey on behalf of immigrants.
5:37:46
Those deliveries, those are immigrants.
5:37:48
If you really care about the immigrants, mister Brannon, and this is your time to prove it, this is time to bring it home for the controls race.
5:37:54
You need to build that deliveries to help.
5:37:55
You need to find a way to get that deliveries to help build for the workers' jobs project.
5:37:59
At the same time, we need to really preserve preserve Corona Plaza and the same time protect our immigrants.
5:38:05
So thank you mister Brannon.
5:38:07
Get that Liberty Mutual hub built, bro.
5:38:08
Please.
