Morano thanks committee and personal staff

Now, before I conclude, I'd also like to thank the committee staff.

A lot of people said after Alejandro left the committee staff, we were going to go downhill.

We showed him.

We're just getting started.

I want to thank our legislative counsel, Hannah Cohn.

I want to thank our policy analyst, Maknur Butte.

I want to thank our financial analyst, Margaret Barnsley.

I want to thank our community associate, Sebastian Neme, data analyst Colby Porter, Mohamed Shadid, and legislative policy analyst Kyla Dash for their hard work in preparing for this hearing.

I'd also like to thank my staff for their work as we continue to serve our constituents and the city as a whole, particularly my chief of staff, Frank Rapacciolo, and our legislative counsel, Pat Russo.

I look forward to today's hearing and to strengthening support for LGBTQ plus veterans throughout New York City.
