Justin E. Sanchez

For those that haven't been to my committee before, the way that I like to do it is I start with some questions and then I pass it off to my colleagues and we bounce it around so it doesn't get drawl, hopefully.

Justin E. Sanchez

But before we get started, I really want to give a shout out to someone that is new that is sitting next to me.

Justin E. Sanchez

As you can see, my former committee counsel, Morgan Barrett, has moved on.

Justin E. Sanchez

And so I want everyone to give a huge, huge welcome and shout out to Samia Schell, who is the new committee counsel for this committee.

Justin E. Sanchez

We are so excited to have her.

Justin E. Sanchez

So please give a round of applause to Samia.

Justin E. Sanchez

There is a co-counsel, but when she comes and sits so that she can get her proper time in the spotlight.

Justin E. Sanchez

Oh, and Councilmember Santis-Poso is here in person.
