Okay.

Hanks, majority whip Hanks, I'm sorry.
And I think that's it for now.
Okay.
So welcome to our awesome comptroller and dear friend, my dear friend, Mark Levine and your team.
Thank you all for joining us today to answer our questions.
It's, as a reminder, oh, this is what I have to do every single year, not every single year, before every testimony.
Sorry, I'm losing my language right now.
It's getting towards the end.
But we're having public hearings all day tomorrow starting at 9.30 a.m.
So make sure that you all sign up, please, because we want to hear from the public and hear your feedback.
So please sign up.
Okay, so I think we're going to get straight into it and turn it over to our committee council to swear in our comptroller and the witnesses.
Good afternoon.
Do you affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth before this committee and to respond honestly to council member questions?
Yes, I do.
You may begin.
