Banks thanks staff and calls first panel of public witnesses

I would like to first of all thank my staff, Michael Lambert, Kyle Graham, along with the Public Housing Committee staff, Jose Conde, Samia Shell, Charles Kim, Spencer Trun, and James Wu and Noah Schlossberg

for all the work they've put into this hearing.

Next, we will now welcome, as we have done traditionally in my committee, since I've become chair of this committee, we will now call up the pre-panelists.

So please approach.

We have Jeremy Estrada Perez.

Keith Ramsey.

And methane, Scorsese.

And we've also been joined by Council Member Nurse.

And we also have Carla Hollingsworth as well.

And we have Patricia Dickey, who's on Zoom.

We will begin with Mr.

Mathane Scars.

Thank you.

Good to see you.

Likewise.

Thank you.

You have three minutes.
