Cabán on reservations about Intro 929 and Intro 553
Council Member Cabán reserves budget comments for the vote, but states deep reservations about Intro 929 potentially silencing dissent, notes Intro 553 duplicates an underutilized state program, and thanks budget staff.
I plan to reserve my comments on the budget for during that vote.
Regarding Intro 929, I continue to hold deep reservations that I had for Intro 175B, that this amended bill would silence dissent and add to the federal government's assault on freedom of speech.
That still stands.
Also important to note that I think Intro 553 duplicates an existing underutilized state program for cameras for small businesses.
And I do want to take the moment to thank all of the dozens and dozens of staffers that make a budget possible.
And thank you to my team as well.
Councilmember Morano, followed by Mealy.
