Althea V. Stevens

Well, you'll be happy to know Councilmember Ressler is very open to amending his bill, which was

Althea V. Stevens

part of our negotiation for us to hear it.

Althea V. Stevens

So I know that a lot of folks did reach out to me and Councilman Ressler around some of the issues that folks have with the bill.

Althea V. Stevens

And so he is very open to amending.

Althea V. Stevens

So please reach out to him so that those things can be heard and considered and get this bill to a place.

Althea V. Stevens

Because again, like I will repeat, we're in a crisis.

Althea V. Stevens

And wait, you're not with LDF anymore, huh?

Althea V. Stevens

All right.

Althea V. Stevens

I'm like, wait.

Althea V. Stevens

Okay.

Althea V. Stevens

Look at that.

Althea V. Stevens

Absolutely.

Althea V. Stevens

I'm like, wait, David, you're not over there anymore.

Althea V. Stevens

Okay.

Althea V. Stevens

I do not have any more questions for this panel.

Althea V. Stevens

Thank you guys so much.

Althea V. Stevens

We'll be going to the next panel.
