Chair Ariola thanks panel and dismisses administration witnesses
Ariola says she has no further questions and thanks the entire panel, praising them for being well prepared and never deferring answers. She says the committee's scrutiny is meant to help agencies get resources to save lives and dismisses the witnesses.
I have no further questions, and I just would like to say...
To the entire panel that I really appreciate that never once was it said, I'll get back to you on that.
Well prepared, your team that's behind you, FDMY, extremely well prepared and ready to help.
So kudos to them and Commissioner, as always.
Nobody does it better.
So thank you, and thank you for understanding that this is not anything against any one of you or your agencies.
This is to help you get the resources that you need so that you can do the job of saving lives because that's what you all do.
From NISM to the FDMY to EMS.
You know what the real biggest problem is?
You do your job whether you have the resources or not.
And that's why everybody just seems to say, well, they just don't need anything because they're not squeaky wheels.
But I'm going to be the squeaky wheel.
This committee will be the squeaky wheel.
And we will not let up until you all have the resources that you need to keep this city safe.
Thank you so much for taking the time today.
You are dismissed.
