Laredo Youth Council Meeting 092823

D
D
Also,
members
of
the
Webb
County
Democratic
party-
and
we
are
also
part
of
the
get
out
the
vote
campaign
which
entails
us
going
to
different
venues,
to
register
people
to
vote,
and
so,
as
part
of
that
effort,
we
wanted
to
try
to
be
more
effective.
We
all
know
that
the
voting
rates
in
Laredo
are
extremely
low.
In
my
race,
I
represent
about
30
000
residents
and
of
that
there
are
probably
16
000
registered
voters
of
that.
D
The
majority
voted
for
me
and
that's
why
I
sit
in
the
seat,
but
I
block
walked
in
the
neighborhoods
in
my
district
to
try
to
get
people
to
vote
for
me
and
to
also
participate
in
the
election
and
the
block
walking
the
the
social
media
campaigns
being
at
events,
and
speaking
all
of
that
and
and
in
my
district
myself,
and
my
opponents
could
only
generate
about
25
of
Voters
to
come
out
and
vote
I
wish.
I
could
tell
you
what
the
demographics
were
in.
D
In
my
race,
I
I
do
not,
but
generally
speaking,
youth
vote
is
becoming
more
and
more
a
larger
percentage
of
the
people
who
could
potentially
vote
yet
their
participation
overall
and
I'm,
not
speaking
about
you
right
just
generally,
is
still
very
low,
and
so
what
we
would
like
to
know,
because
obviously
we're
from
a
different
generation
than
you
at
the
Webb
County
Democratic
party
is
what
interests
you
in
your
vote.
What
are
the
issues
that
are
important
to
you?
D
It
matters
so
much
what
government
does
and
government
controls
so
much
money,
that's
taken
from
your
parents
and,
if
you're
working
taking
from
you
as
well
right
and
that's
how
we
fund
government,
so
government
controls
a
lot
of
money
and
they
attempt
to
use
that
money
to
address
issues
that
the
public
wants.
First,
you
have
to
address
Public,
Safety,
Health
and
Welfare.
D
D
Then
the
money
is
going
to
be
spent
on
our
priorities
and
maybe
not
necessarily
represent
your
priorities.
So
what
we
would
like
is
a
conversation
with
you
and
it
can
be
an
ongoing
one.
We
hope
that
this
is
just
the
beginning
of
many
to
understand
what
issues
are
important
to
you
and
and
also
ensure
that
your
voice
is
respected
through
just
normal
channels
of
government.
D
So
you
know
building
lines
of
communication
and
also
finding
out
what
your
priorities
are,
so
that
when
we
go
out
and
ask
for
people
to
vote,
we
can
maybe
talk
about
real
issues
that
matter
to
you
and
and
where
your
vote
will
be
more
meaningful
or
you
can
actually
have
an
impact
because
I
think
that's
a
disconnect
right.
People
say
well
I
vote,
but
who
cares
it's
the
same
old
people?
It
nothing
ever
changes
or
my
votes
won
a
drop
in
the
bucket.
What
does
that
matter?
E
I
would
just
like
to
to
say
give
us
what
your
concerns
are.
Tell
us
what
matters
to
you,
what
changes
you
want
to
see
in
policy
in
government
and
those
services
that
are
provided
for
you,
so
that
we
can
see
where,
where
we
can
get
them,
who
who's
the
one
that's
gonna
represent
us
in
that
in
that
sense,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
that
person
gets
your
vote
and
how
you,
how
do
we
get
you
to
go
out
and
vote.
F
Yeah,
it's
one
thing
to
register
you,
but
then
the
ultimate
is
your
voice.
That
means
voting.
Okay,
can't
tell
you
how
very
important
it
is.
We've
been
talking
about
you,
but
you
also
hear
from
your
families
right
what
they're
concerned
about
what
they
feel
government
needs
to
do
for
y'all
as
a
family
and
individuals.
Okay,
so
that's
the
other
thing
that
we
also
need
to
hear
from
you,
okay,
but
again
think
about
it,
and
hopefully
we
can
come
back
and
get
some
information
from
you
right
now.
F
F
Now
it'd
be
awesome
if
that,
if
they
can
cook,
you
know
we
have
an
election
coming
up
in
November
call
900.,
oh,
that
that
would
be
just
so
awesome
so
anyway,
again
think
about
it.
You
know
when
you
talk
amongst
yourselves
and
also
you
know,
families
but
again,
I
know.
I,
know,
you've
heard
the
issues
from
your
families.
G
One
of
those
things
that
I
want
everybody
to
understand
you,
voters,
that's
part
of
the
empowerment
of
our
democracy
and
you
are,
are
the
the
young
future
of
our
country
and
depending
how
you
vote.
But
we
emphasized
for
people
to
go
out
and
vote,
you
know
and
we
go
out
there
and
we
enjoy
seeing
people
coming
out
and
registering
to
vote.
D
D
If
we
start
in
April,
then
that
really
does
give
a
sense
to
the
public
that
what
you
say
will
be
incorporated
into
the
Department's
budgets
instead
of
in
August,
when
what
you
say
would
be
like.
Oh
maybe
we'll
think
about
it
for
next
year,
because
right
now,
we've
already
finished
the
budget.
We've
got
to
get
this
back,
okay,
so
I.
We
hope
the
process
will
be
a
little
bit
more
transparent
and
inclusive
this
coming
year,
but
it
was
about
800
billion
dollars.
D
D
I
mean
it's
almost
a
billion
yeah
and
it's
it's
separated,
so
we
have
like
the
general
fund
and
then
we
have
what
we
call
a
capital,
Camp
capital
projects,
budget
and
capital
projects
are
infrastructure,
bricks
and
mortar,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
borrowed
money.
But
because
the
city
has
a
lot
of
credit
and
a
good
Revenue
source
with
the
bridges,
the
income
that
we
get
from
the
bridges.
D
We're
able
to
extend
that
credit
and
be
able
to
spend
money
on
on
credit,
but
we're
good
for
it,
we're
good
for
the
men,
but
it's
still
a
significant
budget
and
that
budget
gets
carved
up
into
a
lot
of
different
pieces,
and
so
it
can
really
impact
families
lives.
And
so
that's
why?
Knowing
where
you
your
priorities
are
and-
and
they
could
be
the
same
as
your
parents
and
then
sometimes
they're.
Not
you
know.
D
That's
why
it's
important.
We
want
to
be
able
to
take
that
message
when
we're
talking
to
people,
because
if
it's
our
job
to
get
people
out
to
vote
and
I,
do
believe
that
this
cohort
is
going
to
go
out
and
vote
right.
But
how
do
we
get
the
people
who
aren't
engaged
aren't
as
interested?
How
do
we
speak
to
them
so
that
they
can
understand
the
importance
of
voting.
A
That
the
mo
the
main,
what
is
that
called
issue
is
that
the
same
people
who
constantly
complain
of
all
these
things
that
are
happening
are
the
same
people
who
don't
vote
so
I
feel
since
we
are
the
Next
Generation
us
young
people
have
to
go
out
there
and
tell
our
peers.
Tell
our
to
ask
me:
hey.
You
know
it's
important
to
vote
it's
important
to
do
this.
It's
important
to
go
out
and
actually
vote.
A
You
know,
there's
a
difference
between
registering
somebody,
because
there's
no
point
in
registering
someone
and
they're
not
actually
going
to
go
out
and
vote.
It
means
nothing.
It
means
nothing
so
I
feel
like
we
have
to
go
and
tell
them
like
hey.
You
know,
gonna
put
it.
How
can
everybody
gets
there
like
I
can't
say
it
like,
but,
like
I
said,
like
the
actions
that
are
being
considered,
gonna
affect
us
the
next
tomorrow
you
know,
and
so
with
these
things
like
I
said
like.
A
If
you
read
the
news,
things
are
just
getting
worse:
oh
it's
not
getting
better
and
it's
not
gonna
get
better
and
we
are
especially
us
Hispanics.
We
are
like
the
main
people
who
are
targeted
and
we
have
a
voice,
but
the
thing
is
that
we
don't
know
how
to
use
it
and
that's
why
we
are
here
so
that
we
can
represent
their
voices.
So
we
can
be
the
voice
for
them.
You
know
so
I
feel
like
that's
what
we
need
to
do.
G
Let
me
just
say
one
other
thing
is
a
lot
of
times.
We
get
we'll
we'll
get
students
to
go
out
there
and
fill
out
their
forms.
They
don't
write
legibly,
it
won't
go
through
and
give
example.
I
was
downtown.
Today
have
a
gentleman
asked
me
said:
I
gave
you
I
registered
to
did
a
change
of
address.
He
came
from
Austin
and
I
gave
you
the
forums
about
this
and
I
went
to
vote
and
I.
Couldn't
because
that
I
wouldn't
register
to
vote
in
Laredo,
Webb,
County
I,
said
well
here,
fill
out
another
one.
G
Another
form
before
that
he
called
I
gave
him
a
number
to
call
to
see
if
he
was
a
registered
voter
and
he
called,
and
they
told
him
that
he
was
not
so,
of
course,
by
phone
I'm.
Trying
to
hear
fill
this
form
out
and
I
was
like
four
blocks
away
from
the
Billy
hall
building
for
Rich
the
register's
office
and
I
went
there
I
said,
look,
here's
this
form
and
what
he
did.
He
put
a
different
number
for
his
driver's
license.
G
You
know,
because
there's
an
option
of
putting
a
driver's
license
number
or
your
last
Board
of
the
social
security
number
to
mask
the
address
that
you
placed
when
they
when
they
do
the
process.
Well,
he
put
a
different
number
one
number
difference
on
his
driver's
license.
Oh,
so
that's
why
I
didn't
go
through
yeah
and
we
hear
it
all.
The
time
said:
hey.
G
Why
didn't
I
get
my
registration
card
because
normally
after
about
two
weeks
after
you
submit
your
your
forms,
you'll
get
a
little
blue
card
or
depending
what
year
did
Earth
Tone,
colors
and
now
he's
a
rich
promoter,
and
that
just
happened
today
and
I
felt
good
because
it
was
a
friend
of
mine
and
but
little
things
like
that
change.
Everything.
I
Again,
one
thing
so
I
know
for
advocating
right
going
to
high
school
and
all
that
I
feel
like
a
reason.
I
like
this
one
is
into
it.
Is
the
person
saying
it
and
it's
not
so
discreet
you
guys,
because
you
guys
are
phenomenal
people,
but
you
have
the
premier
selected
person
who
kids
idolize
he's
a
role
model,
kids,
who
are
actual
no
like?
Oh,
you
know
what
let
me
give
him
a
lesson.
I
know
who
he
is
and
I
feel
like.
I
If
you
go
to
the
schools-
and
you
know
with
us
there,
we
don't
know
who
to
ask
or
who
to
like,
you,
know,
confront
and
be
like
you
know:
can
you
help
us
with
this
project
and
you
know,
give
him
community
service
hours
or
give
us
a
presentation,
Merit,
and
maybe
a
kid
too.
You
might
think
like.
Oh
I,
don't
want
to
deal
with
it,
but
actually
listen
to
it
and
I
know.
J
I
mean,
oh,
you
can
go
adding
to
that.
Yeah
I
feel
like
maybe
because
I
like
whenever
you
hear
the
same
person
over
and
over
again
in
the
speaker,
screening
at
you
being
like
you
need
to
vote
like
in
another
school
personally.
If
our
principles
don't
want
to
be
screaming
at
us
every
morning
we
get
like
annoyed
by
them,
hearing
them
over
and
over
again.
So
I
think
it
would
be
better.
We
heard
someone
from
like
maybe
student
council
in
our
school,
because
people
listen
to
them,
they're
very
popular
amongst
our
year.
J
G
G
A
A
So
it's
like
I
feel
like
that's.
Why
that's
why
I
told
him
to
come
here
to
come,
speak
to
the
Laredo
youth?
Council
I
mean
we
are
the
leaders
of
Laredo.
You
know,
and
it's
like
don't
listen
to
us.
They
won't
like
I,
said
like
they
won't
listen
to
the
adults
but
they'll.
Listen
to
these
because
they're,
like
oh
look
I,
know
her
I
know
who
she
is
they're
going
to
want
to
catch
your
attention,
you're
you're,
getting
their
attention.
They're,
gonna!
A
Listen
to
you
and,
like
you
said,
yes,
the
student
council,
but
it's
also
knowing
if
they
know
what
they're
going
to
say,
because
not
everybody.
That's
in
student
council
is
aware
of
politics
and
they're,
not
aware
of
like
things
that
are
happening
here
in
Laredo.
They
only
know
things
that
are
going
on
around
their
school.
So
that's
why
I
think
it
needs
to
be
us.
A
A
You
know,
so
that's
why
I
had
invited
them
over
because,
again,
like
she
said
there
are
still
some
schools
that
are
still
missing
voting
registration,
so
I
was
thinking,
maybe
like
we
could
like
be
there
while
they're
registering
and
maybe
speak
to
the
students
as
well
as
to
why
it's
important
to
register
to
vote.
You
know
so.
J
Yeah
because
I
know
in
our
school
they
haven't
even
talked
about
voting
in
our
school
personally
I'm
there
every
morning
and
they've
never
brought
up
like
hey
seniors,
start
voting,
hey
seniors,
start
doing
this
and
arsenally
personally,
don't
talk
about
it
and
when
I
think
about
it
like
when
I
think
about
to
do
this
like
whenever
we
talk
about
this
and
I,
go
back
to
my
school
I'm
like
why?
Don't
we
talk
about
it
like.
C
J
A
And
they
don't
even
know
about
this
stuff
like
they
didn't,
even
know
that
they
did
not.
My
school
didn't
even
know
that
all
the
regular
youth
Council
existed,
I,
don't
even
know
what
that
is,
and
it's
just
like
that's
sad
I
mean
that's
just
sad
because,
like
these
people
are
about
to
graduate
and
they're,
not
even
gonna
know
how
to
vote
they're,
not
even
going
to
know
who
to
vote
for
it,
but
it's
not
even
just
presidential.
It's
also
your
own
City.
A
You
know,
like
that's
very
really
important,
because
the
people
that
you
choose
for
your
own
city
are
the
people
who
are
making
the
decisions
for
you
in
your
own
home.
You
know
you
got
to
know
who
you're
voting
into
office.
Do
you
like
what
they're
bringing
to
the
table
is
what
they're
bringing
to
see
if
they're
going
to
affect
you
or
not,
you
know.
Is
it
going
to
benefit
you?
A
So
that's
why
I
think,
like
me,
I
had
said
we
need
to
go
to
the
schools
and
we
need
to
speak
to
them
of
the
importance
of
it.
You
know,
don't
tell
them.
Oh,
go
Republican
vote
Democrat.
We
can't
do
that,
but
we
can
go
non-partisan,
just
let
them
know
real
life
events
that
are
happening
in
the
world
today.
You
know
like
tell
them
like
you
know.
This
is
happening
not
last
year,
not
two
years
ago
today,
like
this
year,
things
that
are
gonna
affect
them
in
2024.
A
You
know
things
that
are
already
right
now
on
the
agenda
to
get
past.
They
don't
know
what's
coming
their
way.
So
that's
why
we're
here
so
that
we
can
be
able
to
go
out
there
and
let
them
know
and
tell
them.
You
know
that's
our
job
as
the
Laredo
youth
Council,
to
represent
your
school
and
to
be
the
voice
of
your
school
and
your
city.
G
G
I,
don't
look
at
it
the
way
that
that
way,
but
you
know
but
I'm
a
veteran,
a
Vietnam
era.
You
know
so
I
go
back
a
few
years,
you
know
and
we
don't
when
you're
out
there
as
a
soldier-
and
you
probably
have
friends
family
uncle
grandpas
there
were
you
know
in
the
military.
Well,
yeah
they
don't
you
don't
concern
yourself
with
all
the
drama
that's
happening
in
this
world
or
our
United
States.
You
have
a
job
to
do
or
you're
not
going
to
make
it.
G
J
F
G
G
D
K
K
In
yeah,
I
would
say
the
we
should
well
or
in
my
opinion
right.
Maybe
we
should
make
a
little
bit
easier.
The
process
to
naturalize,
because
I
was
actually
in
a
club
last
Monday
and
we
were
talking
with
the
teacher,
it's
a
club
about
like
law
and
legislation,
and
we
were
talking
about
this
issue
and
my
teacher
was
telling
me
how
hard
is
to
naturalize
in
the
US.
He
told
us
that.
K
D
C
K
I
Kids
can
engage
in
understand
that
you
know
what
you
don't
have
to
be
super
high
middle
class
high
class,
so
you
know
be
out
there
and
have
opportunities
and
I
just
feel,
like
maybe
there's
ways
where
we
can
pick
like
for
you
guys
can
pick
like
a
member
who
can
go
to
schools
and
just
be
like
a
very
joyful
candidate
and
you
know,
go
talk
to
kids
like
oh
look,
we
can
get
this
much.
We
can
reach
a
goal
and
one
day
I'll
donate.
I
You
know
pizza
for
kids
or
how
they
could
feel
a
day
for
y'all,
where
you
guys
will
provide
that
engaging
kids.
You
know
what
I
really
like
this
this
person
that
you
know.
Let
me
I'm
not
afraid
to
ask
him
anything
or
you
know
I
actually
pursue
an
idea
they
might
have.
Because
another
thing
about
today
is
kids,
don't
have
ideas,
but
their
peers
are
like
nah.
You
don't
do
that.
That's
not
cool
or
for
what
like
you're,
not
gonna.
I
D
So
education
is
a
state
issue
because
here
in
this
country,
state
public
education
and
but
it's
wildly
different,
so
New
York
will
spend
something
like
and
these
numbers
could
be
old.
Yeah
like
ten
thousand
plus
eleven
thousand
dollars
per
student
for
the
year
right.
The
state
of
Texas
is
down
to
something
like
forty
five
hundred
dollars
and
you're.
You
still
expect
that
student
to
have
the
national
standards
right,
so
New
York
will
spend
11
000
for
a
pupil,
and
the
state
of
Texas
is
only
going
to
spend
forty
five
hundred
dollars
for
people.
D
So
then
the
local
community
has
to
find
the
difference.
So
that's
why
property
taxes
here
in
Texas
are
so
high,
because
there
is
no
state
income
tax,
so
the
state's
not
collecting
the
big
tax.
The
state
is
very
business
friendly,
let's
say
so:
education
I
mean
you
can
just
see
that
it's
not
the
priority.
It
is
for
New
York
versus
here
in
Texas
that
state
government
state
government
can
change
or
can
be
influenced.
If
you
vote.
I
A
A
A
If
Congress
members
should
have
term
limits,
and
one
thing
that
I
had
read
was
that
their
that
Congress
was
going
very
slow
during
covert
a
year
to
give
out
the
military
cards
to
military
people,
I
mean
in
the
retirement
homes
like
people
who
are
in
their
elderly,
like
they're
homeless
out
in
the
street,
and
it's
like
those
should
be
the
last
people
who
should
be
homeless.
You
know
the
people
who
literally
fought
for
our
country,
and
it's
just
like
it's
very
sad
that
just
goes
to
show
like
down
like
what
a
country
like.
A
Is
that
really
our
country?
Is
that
really
who
we
are
like?
We
can't
even
pay
respect
to
the
people
who
put
their
lives
out
there
for
us
and
another
thing
is
Medicare
Medicaid
inflation
I
just
don't
understand
how
the
people
like
like
I,
said.
Like
inflation
raised,
it's
like
why?
Don't
you
guys
hire
hire
the
the
pay
wages
for
the
people,
the
citizens?
A
They
can't
even
provide
their
kids
medication,
and
that's
just
sad
like
having
to
tell
your
little
boy
like
you're.
Just
gonna
have
to
pray
like
just
I'm.
Sorry,
I'm,
sorry
like
it's
so
sad
like
that's,
not
who
we
are
like
we're
supposed
to
help
each
other,
and
it's
just
like
I.
Don't
like
I!
Don't
like
that.
Like
my
dad,
my
family,
we
we
are
not
allowed
to
get
food
stamps
because
he
makes
10
cents
over
the
dollar.
What
is
10
cents
gonna?
A
D
Medicated
expansion
is
also
a
political
issue
and
it
there's
a
proposal
out
there
to
expand
Medicaid
and
certain
Governors
have
not
have
not
accepted
it.
So
it
again
it
does
depend
on
who's
in
state
government.
As
to
whether
those
benefits
can
reach
more
people
ended
up
and
decline
it,
or
did
you
accept
it.
Abids
declined.
I
A
So
it's
like
your
job
is
to
provide
for
us
the
people
and
you
can't
even
provide
your
own
constituents,
your
own
people,
food
or
money
to
help
them
out
with
their
bills
like
come
on.
You
know
that
I
think
that's
so
messed
up,
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
believe.
That's
I,
don't
believe,
that's
how
it
should
be
I
feel
like
it
should
be
helping
each
other
out.
A
You
know
and
like
I
said-
and
you
see
it's
things
like
that
that
make
me
want
to
go
out
there
and
tell
people
it's
important
to
vote,
because
it's
just
going
to
get
worse
and
next
thing
you
know
we're
going
to
be
the
one
struggling
they're
going
to
try
to
take
everything
away
from
us.
You
know
it's
like
that's.
Why
I
want
to
go
out
and
tell
them
like
guys
like
look
what's
happening
right
before
I
didn't
even
know
this
stuff,
a
lot
of
people.
A
A
J
It's
also
really
hard
to
change
like
all
that,
especially
because
Texas
is
a
very
conservative
place.
They
don't
like
change.
They
don't
like
like
something
completely
new
like
we're,
not
like
some
country.
Some
other
states
are
liberals
where
they're
more
open
to
things
more
like.
Oh,
you
wanna.
Try
that
yeah
go
ahead
like
go
ahead,
go
try
that
like
like
go.
Try
this
using,
but
since
Texas
is
very
like
we're
very
conservative.
It's
really
really
hard
to
make
those
changes.
A
But
you'll
never
know
if
you
don't
try
yeah
exactly
that's
the
thing
exactly.
We
need
to
keep
trying.
We
need
to
let
them
know
like
hey.
You
know
what
you're
not
going
to
take
this
away
from
me,
because
Freedom
isn't
the
people
are
always
going
to
try
to
take
away
your
freedom.
You
have
to
fight
for
it.
A
It's
very
fragile
and,
like
you
said,
like
it's
very
hard
and
it's
like
yeah
you're
right,
no
one
said
it
was
going
to
be
easy,
but
that's
why
you
fight
for
it
you'll
fight
for
what's
right,
that's
what
politician's
job
that
is,
the
gov,
especially
the
Governor's
job,
he's,
obviously
not
doing
it.
You
know
so
yeah.
C
L
E
D
I
think
in
the
state
government,
because
they're
the
ones
in
charge
of
the
higher
education
board
and
the
the
and
correct
me
if
I'm
misstating,
where,
where
the
power
lies,
but
there
are
state
boards
that
determine
curriculum
and
what
the
schools
can
teach
and
cannot
teach.
And
so
again
it
depends
on
who's
in
the
State
offices
as
to
who
they
appoint
to
these
commissions
and
boards
to
make
those
decisions
and
I
was
just
going
to
say
about
Library
services
that
Library
services
and
this
idea
of
spreading
information
and
providing
for
everyone.
D
F
C
K
Yeah
one
thing
one
thing:
I'm
worried
about
like
locally
is
like
last
time
we
had
a
meet,
we
went
to
the
water
Museum
and
we
got
a
presentation
about
how
how
water
how
the
water
plant
is
going
and
how
will
be
how
we
will
be
managing
water
in
the
following
years
and
they
told
us
we
will.
We
would
have
water
onto
until
I
think
it
was
24.
Yes,.
D
K
D
D
Right
the
city
is,
is
engaged
in
looking
for
alternative
sources
of
water.
It
will.
It
comes
at
a
cost.
I
mean
either
Well
yeah.
If
you,
if
you
tap
into
somebody
else's
aquifer
with
a
well
and
have
that
transported
to
you,
you're,
going
to
pay
for
it
right.
If
it's
outside
of
our
city
limits,
then
the
city
will
not
control
that
so
we'll
be
at
the
mercy
of
who
it's
ever
providing
the
water.
D
There
have
been
some
suggestions
of
a
lot
of
cities
along
the
border
chipping
in
or
having
the
state
build
a
desalinization
plan
to
take
salt
out
of
ocean
water.
It's
an
incredibly
expensive
process
to
do
that
and
then
to
get
it
from
the
Gulf
up
to
our
city.
That
pipe
would
be
about
a
today's
dollars
would
be
about
a
million
dollars
a
mile
to
lay
it
and
put
it
in.
D
So
it's
not
it's
an
option
that
gets
more
cost
effective
as
the
need
for
water
increases
right
so
maybe
20
years
ago,
that
wasn't
seen
as
a
viable
alternative,
because
we
had
a
lot
of
water
and
now
that
we
don't
you're
thinking,
oh
okay.
Well,
that's
not!
So
bad,
but
it's
another
option:
I
think
the
city
will
look
for
a
lot
of
different
sources
and
and
but
we
are
looking
I
wish.
We
could
say
we
had
a
solution,
but
but
I.
L
K
Yeah
they're
not
aware
of
the
crisis,
where
we're
currently
expecting
new
water
and
I
think
people
should
know
that,
because
that's
what
they
will,
what
they
will
be
facing.
That's
the
problems
and
issues
we
have
locally,
not
not
like
in
the
whole
country,
in
Laredo,
in
our
home
in
our
scene,
yeah
also.
D
The
City
of
Laredo
water
prices
are
going
up
by
five
percent
and
they
should
continue
to
increase
by
five
percent
every
year,
but
I
think
it
was
the
city
of
Houston
that
they're
jumping
to
between
10
and
15
percent
this
next
year.
You
know
other
cities
have
bigger
jumps
as
well.
It's
just
it's
a
and
Houston.
You
think
Houston,
there's
water.
D
A
I
think,
like
one
thing
that
Laredo
can
also
use
of,
is
the
more
mental
health
clinics
or
mental
health.
What's
it
called
workshops,
especially
because
I
know
like
ever
since
Kobe
like
me
personally,
like
I,
it
was
the
worst
I
mean,
especially
us.
You
know
like
we're
the
ones
who
got
impacted
the
worst
and
the
most
and
it
affected
us
very
badly
and
I
know
that.
A
How
can
I
put
it
not
in
a
rude
way?
Sorry
I'm,
trying
to
think
it
kind
of
just
like
it
changed
us
for
the
worst
in
some
cases
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
you
won't
hear
it
on
the
news,
but
there's
a
lot
of
like
suicides
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
are
just
very
depressed.
You
know
and
I
just
feel
like
they're,
not
getting
the
help
that
they
need
and
I
know.
We
have
one
mental
institute
here.
It's
caps
border
region,
but
I,
don't
think
that's
enough.
A
I
think
we
need
more
people
like
us
like,
because
since
we're
more
understanding
because
we
feel
like
we
don't
talk
to
adults,
not
because
we
don't
want
to,
but
because
we
feel
like
we
don't
understand
us,
we
need
people
like
us.
Our
own
age,
like
you
know,
kind
of
older
to
like
be
able
to
work
these
workshops
in
order
to
be
able
to
help
us
out,
but.
L
A
C
A
Not
everything
has
to
be
hospitalized
unless
it's
like
severe
severe,
but
like
other
than
that,
like
we
should
be
able
to
talk
to
you
without
you
having
to
send
us
to
a
mental
institute
without
us.
Thinking
like
oh,
my
gosh
I'm,
about
to
be
medicated
so
away
from
my
parents,
like
that's
scary,
for
a
child
exactly.
J
I
feel
like
yeah
like
exactly
like
I
feel,
like
some
kids.
Just
just
want
to
talk
to
someone
they
just
like
it's
really
expensive,
to
get
a
therapist,
yes
and
I,
and
school
counselors
they're.
Not
they
they're,
not
really,
as
trust
supporting
me
they're,
not
always
a
support,
yeah,
exactly
they're
small,
more
really
biased
about
how
you
feel,
and
some
of
them
like
do
trust
them,
and
you
tell
them
stuff
and
the
next
moment
you
know
they're
calling.
C
A
Shouldn't
have
to
charge
for
therapy
that
should
be
free.
I
should
be
able
to
go
and
speak
to
someone
without
being
charged
200
for
an
hour,
because
you
know
what
that
makes
me
feel
it
makes
me
feel
like
you
know
what
you're
you
don't
care,
you're
just
doing
it
for
the
money
you're
just
doing
it,
because
it's
your
job,
I
shouldn't
have
to
feel
like
I
have
to
go
speak
to
them.
Like
me,
I've
had
so
many
concerts,
I.
A
Don't
like
constantly,
because
to
me
they
pretend
like
they
care
and
then
things
you
know:
okay,
time's
up.
They
write
you
a
check
so
that
you
can
give
them
the
money
like
it
shouldn't
be
that
way
it
should
be
free.
It's
something
that
the
community
Laredo
should
offer
to
the
students
to
the
kids.
You.
L
Know
nothing
at
12
topic,
but
when
it
comes
up,
we
also
have
to
think
about
the
time
that
they
put
in
in
college
to
get
that
degree.
The
experiences
that
they
have
like
that
is
worth
money
and
I
know
that
it
can
seem
like
they're
just
rushing
you
out.
It
doesn't
because
they
have
other
people
to
help
they
need
to
get
so.
A
Much
done,
or
maybe
the
people
who
have
insurance,
you
should
also
make
like
an
insurance
plan
for
people
who
want
help
with
counselors
or
counseling.
You
know
that's
something
yeah,
like
you
said
they
work
for
that
degree.
Of
course,
absolutely
we're
not
saying
they
have
to
give
it
for
free,
but
maybe
make
like
a
plan
or
something
like
a
Medicare
plan
or
something
you
know
yeah,
but
not
everybody
qualifies
for
it,
so
make
something.
That's
affordable,
something
that
people
can
have
access
to.
L
And
then
I
know
from
personal
experience
here
in
Laredo,
if
you're
going
to
try
and
book
like
some
sort
of
mental
health
appointment,
it's
going
to
take
you
months
to
even
see
somebody
and
if
you
do
want
to
see
somebody,
that's
mostly
likely
gonna
have
to
be
out
of
town.
That's
time,
traveling
going
there
and.
F
L
That
professional
told
their
parents
everything
they
broke
HIPAA
and
they
made
improper
comments
about
my
friend's
body
and
to
think
that
something,
like
that's
happening,
they're
still
working
they're
still
regarding
professional,
near
Laredo
that
they
have
other
patients.
That
just
makes
me
sad
to
think
of
all
the
people
who
they
are
hurting
at
the
moment.
F
M
L
D
F
E
L
C
L
They
moved
to
Houston,
like
maybe
a
couple
months
ago,
but
when
I
I've
heard
them
when
they
talk
to
other
people
about
Laredo,
they
think.
Oh,
it's
awful.
You
know
it's
it's
full
of
crime,
it's
full
of
bad
people
and
it's
like
that's,
not
the
Dorito
that
I
know
it's
not
the
Laredo
that
it
truly
is
yeah.
A
E
A
Think
maybe
it's
something
else
that
I
would
like
like
to
see
is
going
to
the
elementary
schools
and
speaking
to
them
on
building
because
I
know
boiling
is
a
very
big
thing
and
I
know
how
mentally
it
affects
a
child
at
a
very
young
age,
and
the
thing
is
that
they
don't
really
get
that
bullying
talk
and
if
they
do
it
from
like
a
principal,
and
it's
like
I
said
like
so
I
feel
like.
Maybe
we
would
get
in
contact,
probably
with,
like
the
police
department.
A
Have
them
go
talk
to
them
and
be
like
you
know
what
like
this,
the
importance
of
bullying
like
we
have
a
lot
of
little
kids
cool,
for
example,
like
my
brother
like
regardless,
like
you
know
how
they
say
like
oh
go,
talk
to
a
teacher,
go
talk
to
a
concert,
they're
not
doing
anything,
they
don't
do
nothing
like
they
just
don't
care
so
I
feel
like
they
need
to
really
want
to
proactive,
yeah
I
feel
like
we
need
to
have
more
bullying,
assemblies
and
elementaries.
It's.
C
E
A
You
know
yeah,
it
says
the
example
to
the
child,
because
the
child's
like
you
know
they
remember
everything.
You
know,
and
you
have
to
start
them
young,
because
wedding
gets
to
the
point
where
kids
end
up
killing
themselves
and
that's
just
sad
like
they
don't
even
want
to
go
to
school.
They
fear
going
to
school
because
they
they're
scared
to
get
bullied
to
get
pushed,
and
it's
all
like
no
they're
not
going
to
listen
to
us
send
a
cop
out
there.
You
know
tell
them,
you
know,
and
it's
going
to
be
in
their
headache.
L
L
K
I
Not
one
thing
I
like
the
idea,
but
it's
gonna
be
hard
to
find
like
a
mother
or
a
parent
who's
been
a
willingly
want
to
talk
to
kids,
because
you
can
remember
it's
a
kid.
They're
kids,
yes,
they're
they're
very
attentive,
but
they
have
they'll
talk
to
a
certain
way.
You
can't
just
go
up
to
me
like
oh
10
of
kids.
Come
so
like.
A
They're
not
gonna,
also
like
very
traumatizing
because,
like
if
I
was
a
mother
and
I
lost.
My
kid
like
I,
wouldn't
want
to
go
like
if
it
was
recent
I
wouldn't
want
to
go,
speak
on
it,
but
at
the
same
time
it
just
depends
on
the
person,
but
even
like
that,
even
if
we
were
not
to
have
the
parent
even
still
just
going
to
the
school's
instituting
to
them
about
it,
because
what's
important.
L
K
D
I
just
want
to
mention
before
closing
that
this
election
in
November
will
be
about
revisions
to
the
Texas
Constitution
kind
of
a
boring
topic.
But
there's
some
really
important
propositions
coming
out
as
well
and
so
I
think
we'll
be
very
happy
to
provide
some
information
about
that.
To
inform
you
and
then
hopefully,
you'll
be
able
to
inform
your
peers
about
this
election.
D
So
this
can
be
the
trial
run
for
2024,
because
2024
will
be
the
crazy
presidential
election
lots
of
people
get
involved
and
and
and
take
sides,
and
and
it's
a
lot
of
media
attention.
November
2023
you're
going
to
see
very
low
voter
participation
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
what's
being
voted
on
and
so
they're
not
going
to
feel
that
attachment
or
the
reason
to
go
vote.
G
L
D
And
what
50?
What
is
the
current
minimum
wage
tend
to
me?
It's
like
7.25.,
that's
crazy!
It
hasn't
changed
in
years.
In
years
now,
a
lot
of
businesses
realize
that
they
cannot
attract
labor
at
that
price,
and
so
they'll
start
entry-level
people
at
a
higher
wage.
But
officially
the
federal
minimum
wage
is
that
low
and
that's
you
can't
live
on.
L
That,
and
in
my
opinion,
this
also
has
a
big
thing
to
do
with
when
young
people
going,
because
when
their
parents
are
constantly
working
full-time
jobs,
you
know
their
parents
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
talk
to
vote
because
they
won't
have
the
time,
then
that
generational
poverty,
oftentimes,
carries
on
they're
gonna,
have
to
work
a
bunch
of
jobs,
they're
enough
to
have
the
time
to
vote,
they're
going
to
be
too
busy
right.
So
we
have
to
really
address
that
if
we
want
to
attract
more
young
people
when
it
comes
to
voting,
but.
E
That
would
be
a
particularly
voting
voting
other
ways
that
you
can
get
out,
but
it
does
make
it
harder
for
families
that
have
three
jobs,
like
you're,
saying
to
be
able
to
find
that
time.
But
one
of
the
things
that
you
could
talk
about
is
make
a
plan.
What
is
your
plan?
When
are
you
going
to
vote?
Do
you
know
what
the
dates
are?
Do
you
know
where
you
can
vote?
E
So
you
make
a
plan
if
you,
if
you
are
really
interested,
find
out
where
it
is,
what
are
the
dates
and
make
a
plan
to
go
and
bring
people
with
you
so
that
if
you
make
it
like
a
family
affair
or
a
community
Affair
all
the
people
in
your
block
or
something?
Let's
go
vote
on
this
day,
because
I
know
that
that
there's
not
going
to
be
a
line.
It's
going
to
be
easy
in
and
out
and
and
that
way,
you'll
you'll
have
more
voter
turnout
and.
D
N
C
L
F
E
E
E
Rotary
president,
so
we
still
have
several
high
schools
that
have
not
made
the
appointment
for
us
to
come
in
and
do
that,
but
we
have
them
on
our
list
and
we
will
try
to
come
in
and
what
we
really
want
to
do
is
is
is,
if
they
allow
us,
is
to
come
into
your
civics
class
or
your
government
class.
Oh,
give
you
more
information,
bring
you
the
posters
like
he
says
that
we
can
maybe
they'll
give
us
permission
to
put
them
out
in
the
hallways.
E
L
E
L
F
A
A
A
I
have
the
invitation.
I
was
also
thinking
that
maybe
like
as
the
memory
Council.
Maybe
we
can
host
a
non-partisan
election
debates
for
the
Youth
during
an
election
year.
As
always,
yes,
I
think
that
was
like
a
good
idea
for
the
Youth,
so
they
can
be
able
to
come
out
and
speak
on
what
they
want
to
see
different
here
in
the
readable.
You
know
not
just
us,
you
know
we're
eight
out
of
you
know
they.
D
So
city
council
is,
there
are
four
seats
up
for
election
in
2024
and
the
campaigning
should
begin,
probably
after
the
primary,
which
is
the
national
primary.
So
it's
March,
but
then
you
should
have
candidates
coming
out
who
want
to
participate
in
city
council
elections,
and
that
would
be
an
excellent
time
to
ask
the
candidates
to
come
and
do
a
debate.
Yeah.
G
A
D
H
H
I
J
K
M
H
A
H
J
A
J
J
J
J
Right
yeah
I
personally
feel
like
we
should
do
it,
it'll
be
if
we
want
to
start
other
projects
that
do
need
money.
I
personally,
think
that
we
should
start
working
on
it
so,
like
maybe
like
start
somewhere
to
get
fundraised,
maybe
so
like
like
make
a
lot
like
they're
making,
maybe
like
some
plate
or
something
to
start
all
off,
because
we
also
start
off
somewhere
and
I
feel
like
we
should
start
off
with
maybe
selling
some
things
we
could
start
to
dive
in
Louisiana
right.
A
H
A
C
A
A
I
have
a
connection
with
you
know
how,
like
Peter,
Piper
They,
say
like
oh,
go
and
support
us
and
say
that
you're
here
to
for
the
L
white,
let's
say
for
the
cheerleaders
and
we'll
get
50
to
them.
So
maybe
we
can
do
something
like
that.
Maybe
we
can
get
a
food
truck
or
we
can
get
people
to
donate
food
and
they
go
and
get
it
and
they
mention
the
Liberty
Council.
So
let
that
half
of
their
donation
goes
to
us
and
the
other
half
goes
to
them.
L
H
H
A
I
L
E
B
A
C
J
For
the
City
of
Laredo,
yeah,
I
still
well,
I
think
that's
like
a
great
idea,
because
we
could
sell
food,
we
could
sell
food
and
we
could
sell
cards
and
help
people
be
like.
Oh,
if
you
buy
this
extra
card,
you
get
to
pay
the
extra
special
game
with
like
this
giant
thing
or
like
this
thing,
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
people.
A
lot
of
like,
like
kids
like
us,
are
very
like
until
like
wanna
go
wanna
like.
C
B
A
Sure,
because
I
mean
all
you're
doing
here
is
just
asking
for
the
funding,
but
even
like
that,
like
that's
it
for
five
minutes,
it's
a
five
minute
speech.
You
can
still
do
the
Loteria
and
that's
again
more
money
that
we're
gaining
and
also
if
we
make
enough
money.
If
we
want
to
host
another
feature
event,
we
already
have
money
there.
You.
H
No,
you
can
talk
to
them
like
I,
just
texted
I
can't
remember
Melissa
if
she
would
be
open
to
it
since
she
was
here,
but
we
could
ask
the
other
ones,
but
I
think
it
would
be
good.
You
know,
she's
had
an
interest
in
you
guys,
but
the
other
ones
you
may
want
to.
You
want
to
tell
them
what
you
want
to
do
so
we're
working
towards
the
Garden
or
we're
going
to
do
a
library
program
or
something,
but
we
need
the
money
to
do
it.
L
I
think
before
we
go
to
anybody
looking
to
help
us
you
sponsor
it,
we
need
to
create
like
a
set
plan
like
yes,
we
have
this
idea,
but
we
need
to
start.
Like
you
know,
we
still.
We
need
to
start
budgeting
thinking
about
okay.
This
is
how
much
we
need
to
buy
of
like
wood
or
whatever.
We
need
to
show
them
that
we're
gonna
do
something
we
don't
just
have
a
plan.
We
haven't
action
that
we're
going
to
take.
A
B
A
J
B
J
It
will
be
a
great
way,
so
we
could
start
funding.
The
gardenia,
like,
like
I,
said
before
food
prices
for
like
all
ages,
and
you
want
to
go
into
the
for
their
kids
or
want
something
for
themselves.
Maybe
like
household
appliances,
maybe
toys
for
children
or
something
or
maybe
even
gift
cards
that
could
be
for
all
ages.
I
feel
like
it
would
be
really
really
like
really
good
idea.
J
K
K
A
J
A
Thing
on
that,
when
it
comes
to
wanting
to
add
something
to
the
agenda,
I
know
we
have
a
group
chat,
don't
put
it
on
the
group
chat
if,
let's
say,
for
example,
Damon
wants
to
post
box
or
something
Damien
has
to
text
me
himself.
I
want
to
put
this
on
the
agenda,
and
these
are
the
three
people
who
want
to
co-sponsor.
A
You
cannot
put
it
on
the
thing
because
we're
not
supposed
to
know
what
it
is
so
next
time
if
you
want
to
sponsor
something
like
Leo
text
me
Leo,
let's
be
like
I,
want
to
put
this
on
the
agenda.
You
text
those
people,
don't
make
a
or
make
a
group
chat
of
two
people,
three
people
and
you,
let
me
know
okay,
but
don't
put
it
in
the
mango
chat.
Yes,
we
can.
C
J
K
A
M
A
J
A
Christmas
because
just
think
about
it,
it's
cold,
Christmas
lights,
the
Christmas
trees
in
the
park,
the
drive-in
Christmas
movie,
like
that's
something
we
would
all
love
to
do
and
when
it's
cold
there's
no
bugs
out.
You
know
yeah
again.
Also,
remember
guys
you
have
to
think
of
the
people
like
what
do
they
want
and
like
I
said,
if
it
doesn't
end
up
happening
in
October,
that's
fine.
We
still
have
November.
J
J
A
Independence
Park
they're
always
hosting
events
there
and
it
gets
I
live
by
there.
Oh
wait
all
the
way
to
my
house.
It
gets
packed
so,
but
the
thing
is
that
they're
free
they
don't
charge.
So
if
it
gets
that
packed.
Imagine
if
we
were
to
like
three
dollar
tickets
for
a
movie
and
again
it's
something
worth
it
I'm,
pretty
sure
they
pay
for
it.
You
know:
Independence
Park
is
a
good
Park,
especially
because
it's
clean,
but.
A
L
C
K
L
H
A
L
L
A
L
I
just
want
to
have
a
quick
discussion
about
this
on
ways.
We
can
bring
life
to
it
because,
especially
within
our
our
culture,
mental
health,
isn't
that
prioritized
at
least
from
what
I've
seen
it's
very
seen
like
Oh
They'll,
think
that
okay,
you
need
therapy,
then
that
means
you're,
crazy
and
so
that's
something
they
want
to
really
like
to,
especially
because
you
know
like
after
covert
we're
still
recovering
from
that
people
are
still
struggling
and
then,
of
course,
the
Mental
Health
Resources
right
now
in
Laredo.
H
Work
with
our
health
department,
one
maybe
like
a
focus
group
and
to
put
maybe
like
some,
which
kind
of
understanding,
and
maybe
you
all
with
them,
can
present
to
city
council
like
these
are
some
things.
You
know
that
the
youth
is
interested
in
or
submitted
and
maybe
even
do
presentations
together
at
your
schools,
I.
L
Was
also
thinking
because
you
know
how
Victoria
recommended,
like
we
do
like
a
little
fun
workshop
for
the
kids,
maybe
you
can
even
be
like
a
field
trip.
We
could
do
something
similar,
but
you
know
folks
from
themselves.
Maybe
we
could
partner
with
pillar
since
they're,
one
of
them
in
here
or
border
region.
You
know
where
we
can
have
like
a
little
workshop
with
the
kids
helping
bless.
L
A
L
Just
incentivize
people
to
come,
we
can
make
it
like
on
a
school
day
or
like
a
Friday
the
shortest
day
and
maybe
like
a
little
field
trip
or
certain
schools
like
certain
people
from
certain
schools
will
go
they'll
attend
the
workshop.
You
know.
Maybe
we
can
offer
Community
hours
like
not
a
lot
for
the
future
to
help
them
want
to.
Okay.
H
I
could
also
well
I
could
picture
being
like
Damian
is
saying
that
during
the
school,
but
maybe
even
it's
a
little
harder
to
pull
people
out
for
a
workshop,
but
maybe
going
just
how
they're
going
to
schools
to
get
people
to
vote
like
going
to
classes
and
say?
Can
we
take
over
this
class
and
do
like
a
workshop
and
that
way,
you're
learning
about
these
programs,
you're
learning
about
X,
you
know
XYZ
and
it's
easier
to
do
those
topics,
I
think
also
in
a
small
group.
So.
H
M
L
A

But
but
I
like
more
ideas
like
that,
because
we're
using
we
can
use
our
city
staff
resources
that
we
already
have
and
we
have
I'm
sure
we
have
grant
funding
for
programs
like
that
that
we
can
put
people
out
in
the
community.
A
movie
is
great
and
it's
a
good
fundraiser,
but
we
don't
have
money
to
just
say
here.
It
is
randomly
or
something.

They
were
because
they
go
to
the
school
I.
Don't
know
if
they've
done,
LBJ
I,
don't
think
so
right,
normally
what
they
do
is
they
go
to
the
cafeteria
and
they're,
just
like
okay,
guys
like
while
they're
eating
they'll
start
talking
to
you,
and
then
you
come
to
the
stage.
But
the
thing
is
that
not
everybody
who's
in
lunch
is
at
the
cafeteria.
You
have
people
who
are
outside.
You
have
people
who
are
in
the
hallways.
People
don't
want
to
go.
A
My
thing
that
I
wanted
to
do
was
I'm,
not
gonna,
say
put
everybody
in
the
gym,
because
that
was
originally
my
idea.
But
then
that's
forcing
you
something
that
I
was
gonna
suggest
was
we
asked
to
make
a
Google
form
and
they
choose
to
go
or
not
like
you
make
a
Google
form
and
you
say
we're
gonna
have
an
event.
It
has
to
be
done.
The
deadline
is
October
11th.
We.
J

So
that's
what
would
happen.
We
would
check
them
out
of
the
class,
so
I'm
going
to
put
them
in
the
cafeteria
or
if
different
schools
are
different
in
the
gym
and
because
they
chose
to
be
there
they're,
not
there
by
force
they're
willingly
wanting
to
be
there.
We
would
go
like
you
since
you're
the
representative
of
your
school
and
Andrea.
Both
of
you
would
go
to
speak
to
them
along
with
them,
so
they
would
give
their
speech.
But
again,
like
we
talked
about
they
don't
always
listen
to
older
people.

Did
I
did
activity
coordinator
on
that
because
it's
something
that
already
happens
every
year,
so
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
see
why
it
would
be
community
service
hours
that,
for
example,
here
that's
happening
next
Sunday,
that's
different
because
you
are
going
out
of
school
and
you're
doing
this
on
your
own.
You
know
Zone
foreign.

We
didn't
have
any
like
outside
meetings
we
had
like
in
meetings,
and
we
would
be
very
little
like
we'd,
probably
be
like
the
minimum
like
seven
every
time
it
was
really
very
bad.
I'm
really
really
glad
to
see
at
this
group
is
very
talkative
hanging
out
outside
of
the
alternative
here,
getting
to
know
each
other
more
because
last
year
we
were
kind
of
just
holding
it
cold
cold,
like
their.

You
know
like
to
raise
attention
bring
attention
to
like
certain
topics
like
they'll,
do
homelessness,
animal
shelters
and
all
that
and
I
talked
about
it
to
my
mom,
and
she
talked
about
it
for
her
boss,
and
she
says
that
they
couldn't
help
us
out
with
that.
We
would
just
have
to
keep
it
like
non-political
like
it
would
stop.
People,
okay,
is
that
it.
