Hello.
4:20:57
Hello.
4:20:57
My name is Christopher Leon Johnson, and I wanna speak on this right now.
4:21:01
Alright.
4:21:01
First off, this hearing, I believe that this hearing, with the with the, governmental operations was nothing but nothing it was nothing but attack on Andrew Cuomo on behalf of the speaker, Adriana Deal Adams.
4:21:13
I understand that he took a million dollar donation from, DoorDash via the PAC, but the city council need to be transparent and admit that a lot of these members, especially the chair of the governmental operations, takes money from DoorDash too via TransAlta.
4:21:27
TransAlta takes money from, DoorDash via their, via their nonprofit.
4:21:31
It's on the website.
4:21:32
It's it's it's the facts.
4:21:33
While a lot the elected officials love to stand next to trans open plans.
4:21:37
So at the same time, I understand that people could see that they could say that Andrew Cuomo took to fix the city, took an unethical donation from DoorDash because they are trying to get rid of the the minimum wage at the same time, the minimum wage and charge the restaurants more money.
4:21:51
But at the same time, the city council, they need be be transparent with themselves and especially our controller, Brian Landers, that they work with DoorDash too.
4:21:59
So it's kind of a hypocritical stance when, we have elected officials that's that was outside City hall just as, like, Ray Noso standing crying about, Angel Cole taking a $1,000,000 donation from DoorDash, but at same time, he's won the biggest champions, the biggest shows, and Panthers to DoorDash via the help via TransAlta.
4:22:18
They love TransAlta.
4:22:19
Reynosa was on camera praising TransAlta.
4:22:23
So if you love TransAlta, you should love DoorDash too.
4:22:26
So the same by the way, and and one more thing about this, about the education committee is that, look, they need to have a special committee within the city council led by Ina Vernikov on on the the city council task the city council task force to combat antisemitism.
4:22:41
Enid Vernikov need to lead that, subcommittee into that city council.
4:22:45
I hope that this finance chair and this, education committee chair, mister Erdenowitz, make a committee a subcommittee within the education committee on the combat Semitism because there's a lot of anti Semitism in the city.
4:22:58
They to they need to work on it.
4:23:00
So like I said, thank you so much.
4:23:02
Like I said, they need to stop this tax on Andrew Cuomo.
4:23:04
So thank you so much, and enjoy your day.
