Jennings speaking.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Thank you.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I love Miss Marosa.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I called one of the people on the committee this morning.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I forget who.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

And the person answered, who is this?

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I said, a constituent.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

And it was interesting.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

There were a lot of phone beeping on the other end.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

The wonderful man that just left.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I've been stalked since 2006.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

311 got so many calls from me, and they always said that they're going to get back to me in two weeks.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I've been assaulted.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I'm chased by moms on every corner.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I'm staying somewhere.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

That now was H-E-L-L.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

Now he has cameras in there and a tracking device on me.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

Last week I went to family court to get what you call an order of protection and such.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I can't imagine where my calls are going.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

Because I'm going to say something that's...

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

In 2007, I spoke to a private eye.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

The private eye said he couldn't help me.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

But my phone would blow up.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I have a joke that's not funny.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

FBI and NSA are the least on my phone.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I can't imagine where my calls are rerouted to because it doesn't take 20 years for 311

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

to reach out to whatever department in NYPD, the horrible 47 precinct, and the wonderful Riley here that's not here today that's around the corner from where I'm at.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

But I've gone many times, asked for help, and gotten nothing.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

And the wonderful Jermani Williams that I saw at the oversight committee the other day, and I asked to meet with him.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I don't hear from anybody.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I couldn't, if I said for you to spend the day watching me, your jaw wouldn't drop.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

You wouldn't have a jaw.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I would love to know who's sending these people messages to chase me in mobs down on the streets.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

And when I called for 311 like I did last night, because I sat and I couldn't move.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I'm working on a third heart attack caused by this.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

And I called 311.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

And I said, don't give me 911 because I was going to see you SS them out.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

It's finished?

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Yes, your time is up.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

If you could just conclude, thank you.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

My big part?

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

What?

Carmen N. De La Rosa

If you could just conclude.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I'm just wondering.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

What is Joe Morris for doing with those 311 calls?

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

They're going.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

Because Eric Dinnerwood's tried to get a care 311 that you get at a cell number.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I get nothing.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

So yesterday, the 25 letters went to the White House, and there's been 5,000 so far that's gone under every bus and train camera because I fear for my life and safety.

Member of the Public - Ms. Jennings

I would like to meet with you if it's possible, but everyone that I ask to meet with, I get pointed to the chief of staff, and I never meet with them.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Okay.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Thank you.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Thank you so much for coming.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Thank you so much.
