Okay.

I mean yesterday many of us in the council and I'm sure other folks in the administration received an email from president and CEO Julie Coker explicitly stating that 700 plus members of NYCTC support the FY '26 ask.

They're stating that if with without the full restoration of the 7,000,000 allocation, they'll be forced to scale back its global marketing reach and campaign borough wide community marketing programs and beyond.

And as we know the borough wide campaigns are the ones that produce local small economy boosts in commercial corridors.

And so, will the administration restore the full 7,000,000 for New York City Tourism and Convention in the adopted plan?
