B
I
know
that
the
kinds
of
work
that
you
did
are
often
unseen,
they're,
often
thankless.
You
don't
get
thanked
on
a
daily
basis
in
in
this
role,
and
I
hope
you
understand
that
we
are
so
appreciative
that
you
are
really
one
of
the
pieces
of
this
puzzle
that
make
our
city
work.
Thank
you.
So
much
did
you
want
to
say
a
couple
of
words.
B
C
You
thank
you
very
much.
I
really
appreciate
your
words
council
members
and
everyone
attending.
Thank
you
so
much,
I'm
so
grateful
to
be
able
to
have
served
the
city
in
this
capacity
for
29
years.
My
son,
who
is
here
today,
was
an
infant
when
I
started
he's
now
29,
and
so
I
kind
of
track
my
time
still
track
my
time
on
the
commission
with
through
his
his
lifeline.
C
I
especially
want
to
thank
the
talented
and
really
capable
hr
staff
who
has
just
gone
above
and
beyond
during
the
challenges
that
we've
had
in
the
last
couple
of
years
between
the
pandemic
and
the
the
challenges
that
we've
had
after
the
murder
of
george
floyd.
I
think
the
the
hr
staff,
as
well
as
all
other
city
staff,
have
have
just
done
tireless
work
to
keep
the
city
strong
and
to
serve
the
residents,
so
so
I
thank
you
and
I
really
have
appreciated
my
time
being
able
to
work
with
all
of
you
thanks.
D
D
D
I've
worked
with
ellen
for
21
years
in
the
capacity
of
with
her
being
on
the
civil
service
commission,
and
then
she
was
a
chair
for
15
years
of
the
commission
about
15
years,
and
then
she's
also
served
in
this
very
important
and
delicate
role
of
hearing
officer,
and
so
we
just
really
thank
you
for
that.
I
just
want
to
add
and
I'll
be
brief,
a
few
pieces
about
ellen
she's
going
to
be
tremendously
missed.
She
is
very
bright.

build

so
just
very
happy

that's
going

lake
street
corridor.
That's
really
important
for
the
ninth
ward
and
just
really
important
after
everything.
That's
been
going
on
for
the
past
few
years.
F
F
A
B
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
there
are
two
items
coming
from
committee
of
the
whole
to
counsel
this
cycle.
The
first
is
granting
consent
to
the
mayor's
nomination
of
dr
cedric
alexander
to
the
appointed
position
of
community
safety,
commissioner
for
a
four-year
term,
beginning
january
third
of
this
year.
The
second
is
joining
authorizing
the
city
to
join
the
local
government,
amicus
brief
by
the
u.s
supreme
court
in
the
case
of
creative
llc
versus
aubrey
elena's
at
all
and
authorizing
the
city
attorney's
office,
to
take
all
steps
necessary
to
join.
A
J
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
just
want
to
speak
on
the
appointments
of
dr
cedric
alexander,
as
the
commissioner
of
community
safety.
I
support
this
item
today
and
I
really
enjoyed
getting
a
chance
to
connect
up
extensively
with
dr
alexander,
and
this
is
a
big
role
and
it's
a
really
big
moment
and
I
think,
based
off
of
the
information
that
we
have
and
the
conversations
I've
had
with
him
and
his
record,
I
think,
he's
the
best
person.
J
I
can
imagine
in
this
role
right
now
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
what
he
does,
and
I
just
want
him
to
know
that.
I
and
I
I
think
it's
fair
to
speak
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
too,
on
this
are
here
to
support
you
and
your
work
and
in
improving
the
public
safety
and
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
so
I
wish
you
all
the
best
and
I'm
here
for
you
and
looking
forward
to
working
together
with
you.
Thank
you.
K
K
During
his
his
tenure
and
the
biggest
lesson
he
could
point
to
was
handing
over
the
investigation
of
these
officers
actions
to
the
state,
without
mention
of
the
like
more
than
a
month.
It
took
to
hand
over
that
investigation
the
first
time,
and
only
after
the
the
work
of
so
many
protesters
outside
the
local
courthouse,
demanding
that
he
do
so.
K
I
think
I'm
especially
concerned
after
the
officer
in
that
report
was
disciplined
multiple
times
for
disrespect
towards
the
chain
of
command
when
she
wouldn't
talk
to
him
at
public
events,
I'm
concerned,
because
I've
watched
too
many
people
lose
jobs,
experience
retaliation
and
be
the
subject
of
private
and
public.
Shame
for
having
the
courage
to
say
that
they
have
been
victim
to
any
form
of
sexual
harassment,
assault
or
retaliation.
K
In
response
to
saying
no
to
unwanted
advances.
In
fact,
I've
had
many
conversations
with
survivors
since
tuesday's
hearing
who
have
told
me
that
his
answers
were
in
line
with
what
they've
heard
from
other
people
in
power
who
have
dismissed
allegations
of
this
nature
against
them
or
against
the
people.
They've
supervised,
and
I
want
to
thank
especially
the
survivors
that
have
reached
out
and
engaged
with
me
on
this.
K
K
So
I
know
that
we
need
culture
change
in
policing
in
this
city
and
we
deserve
a
police
force
with
a
culture
of
oversight
and
accountability
and
a
city
that
has
structures
to
keep
people
safe
and
respect
them
and
their
humanity.
And
after
seeing
the
responses
and
having
the
conversations
that
I
have,
I
don't
believe
that
this
is
the
right
person
to
change
that
culture.
K
I
sincerely
hope
that
I'm
wrong
for
the
sake
of
my
constituents
for
the
sake
of
residence
of
minneapolis,
and
I'm
committed
to
doing
everything
in
my
power
to
be
a
good
partner
to
him
in
holistically
addressing
public
safety.
That's
my
commitment
on
this
and
I
you
know.
I
sincerely
hope
that
he'll
engage
with
me
on
that.
But
unfortunately,
today
I've
got
to
be
a
no
on
this
one.
L
L
L
You
have
vast
experience
in
policing
that
was
named
very
clearly
on
tuesday,
but
I
don't
think
the
mayor,
or
this
body
has
crystallized
what
exactly
the
office
of
community
safety
goals
are,
nor
the
vision
behind
it
and
at
the
hearing
I
heard
from
many
of
the
testifiers
I
heard
from
you,
I
heard
from
some
of
my
council
members.
You
know
that,
of
course,
the
goals
of
this
new
office
is
safety,
more
safety.
L
L
But
if
you
are
appointed
dr
alexander,
I
I
look
forward
to
expanding
on
what
you
stated
about
preventive
preventative.
You
know
actions,
initiatives
that
we
don't
need
a
public
safety
system,
that's
constantly
reactionary
and
that's
causing
more
harm
for
our
community
for
our
residents
for
working-class
people
to
be
more
proactive
and
preventive.
L
In
our
approach
to
that,
I
look
forward
to
supporting
that
aspect
of
this
work
as
it
relates
to
the
office.
I'm
also
committed
to
working
with
you
and
anyone
else
who
wants
to
ensure
that
comprehensive
public
safety
system
services
that's
spread
out
throughout
the
city
enterprise
right
now,
like
our
bcr
team,
are
uplifted
that
they
are
fully
funded
and
fully
staffed
in
this
new
office.
L
I
know
council
vice
president
palmisano
also
shared
that
the
council
will
be
having
a
public
and
emphasiz
emphasis
on
the
public
study
session
regarding
this
new
office
of
community
safety.
So
I
will
be
following
up
with
you,
council
vice
president
palmisano,
about
making
sure
that
the
space
will
be
utilized
to
answer
and
clarify.
I
think
many
of
the
questions
that
I
still
have
about
the
vision
of
this
new
office
and
what
the
metrics
of
success
will
be.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
city,
council
members.
It's
an
honor
to
be
here
before
you
today
in
support
of
our
hopeful
soon-to-be,
commissioner
of
public
safety
and
the
very
first
in
this
line
of
work
in
our
city,
something
that
I
believe
that
we
all
champion
our
communities
right
now
are
calling
out
for
help
they're
calling
out
for
safety.
Our
communities
are
calling
out
for
change
and
cedric
alexander
has
a
long
and
storied
career
in
delivering
on
all
three.
Is
he
a
magician?
No?
E
E
E
He
has
stated
very
clearly
that
he
did
not
cut
personnel
that
he
did
not
cut
the
work
and,
in
fact
it's
my
understanding
and
it
probably
should
be
checked
just
to
ensure
that
it
is
accurate.
It
was
actually
increased
again
just
a
year
or
so
later.
What
the
council
member
was
mentioning,
I
believe,
was
a
cut
in
the
monetary
value.
E
E
E
That's
what
this
job
is
doing
to
insist
that
our
soon
and
hopeful,
commissioner,
would
have
a
full
slate
of
all
of
the
programmatic
changes
before
he's
even
talked
with
the
leaders
of
the
respective
departments,
their
respective
command
staff
and
understand
had
has
a
full
understanding
of
all
the
logistics
would
not
only
be
setting
up
him
up
for
failure
to
for
him
to
tell
you.
Those
programmatic
changes
now
would
be
irresponsible
at
best.
E
You
gotta
do
a
full
evaluation
of
the
departments
that
he
would
be
in
control
of
a
full
evaluation
of
the
respective
directors,
a
full
evaluation
of
the
programs
they
do
and
don't
have
most
of
which
he
does
not
know
yet
not
because
he
hasn't
done
his
homework,
but
because
he
has
not
been
the
commissioner
of
public
safety.
Yet
that
is
the
responsible
way
for
handling
this.
E
I
Council
president
jenkins,
I
want
to
begin
by
saying
thank
you
to
dr
cedric
alexander,
for
going
through
this
process.
I
came
to
this
hearing
with
the
decision
and
now
left
uncertain.
I
met
with
you
two
different
times.
We
discussed
police
accountability
during
our
first
meeting,
but
we
were
talking
about
coaching
and
accountability
that
is
needed
in
our
police
department.
I
I
Well,
I
asked
ward
9
residents
specifically
to
reach
out
to
my
office
because
I
hadn't
heard
many
from
my
constituents
and
on
during
national
night
out,
I
talked
to
many
of
my
constituents
asking
for
their
opinions,
their
concerns
and
their
dreams
for
this
new
seat.
That's
going
to
direct
our
public
safety
services
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
overall
ordinance
constituents
had
different
opinions.
Many
supported
your
appointment.
Many
did
not
many
had
concerns
and
many
had
hopes
and
dreams
for
what
this
position
should
be.
I
Looking
like
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
I
do
know
there's
specific
constituents
that
would
like
to
meet
with
you.
So
no
matter
what
way
this
decision
goes
today.
I
would
hope
that
you
would
have
time
to
meet
with
them,
but
I
do
want
to
take
time
to
uplift
the
comments
of
my
council
members
here,
specifically
councilman,
chuck
thai,
who
spoke
loud
and
clear
of
this.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
with
disappointment
and
regarding
harassment,
and
these
are
things
that
a
lot
of
my
constituents
have
been
reaching
out
to
me
as
well.
I
A
D
F
F
A
A
M
M
M
And,
despite
that,
we
moved
forward
and
then
amir
loch
was
murdered
and
I
saw
the
value
of
this
direction
and
I
made
it-
and
I
made
an
attempt
to
create
a
department
of
public
safety
via
ordnance
which
would
have
gave
us
the
opportunity
to
really
have
a
public
conversation
about
what
direction
we
should
be
going
in.
That
would
be
open,
transparent,
participatory
and
that
was
blocked.
M
M
At
the
same
time,
I
was
able
to
connect
with
council
member
chug
thai
yesterday,
as
I
was
wrestling
with
my
vote,
because
I
think
it's
very
easy
for
someone
like
me
to
get
bitter
about
how
this
vision
that
I've
been
trying
to
advocate
for
and
fight
for,
had
been
shot
down
over
and
over
again,
and
I
was
recognizing
that
I
needed
to
get
over
that
bitterness.
We
need
to
move
forward
as
a
city.
M
N
Thank
you,
council
president,
so
I
also
want
to
say,
transparently.
I
also
came
in
to
hear
ready
to
vote
yes
and
I'm
I'm
still
open
to
voting.
Yes,
but
I
want
to
acknowledge
something
that
is
bothering
me
here
today,
because
I
don't
like
to
make
decisions
in
real
time
here.
Up
on
the
diocese
I
like
to
do
my
homework,
I
like
to
do
my
research.
N
I
like
to
study
the
situation
I
like
to
be
able
to
meet
with
dr
alexander
and
I
was
able
to
meet
with
dr
alexander,
but
I'm
noticing
something
on
this
diocese.
That
has
been
an
issue
for
a
number
of
years,
and
that
is
that
dissenting
voices
on
this
diocese,
our
ostracized
are
scolded,
are
not
allowed
to
exist,
and
that
is
deeply
frustrating.
N
N
Here's
where
I've
met
with
my
constituents,
here's
where
I'm
making
my
decision.
You
know
this
relationship
this.
This
call
for
unity.
It
has
to
flow
both
ways,
and
I
can't
support
it
today.
If,
if
that's
not
the,
if
that's
not
the
spirit
and
the
culture
that
we're
we're
going
to
be

Dissenting
opinions
can
and
should
receive
a
retort
if
there
is
disagreement,
that
is
in
fact,
a
responsibility
that
we
have
as

and
so
my
concern
and
a
concern
that
I
have
more
and
more
had
over
these
last
several
years
is
that
when
dissent
occurs,
that
we
are
simply
supposed

close

go

no,

A
N
Not
so
much
on
the
report
just
want
to
thank
councilmember
wansley
for
stepping
in
I
know
that's
the
role
of
the
vice
chair,
but
I
haven't
been
out
all
that
often
and
was
sick
this
week
and
so
kind
of
sprung
that
on
you
that
you,
I
think
the
morning
of
that
you
had
to
chair.
So
just
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
giving
the
report.
A
A
F
A
G
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
public
health
and
safety
committee
is
bringing
forward
four
items
that
it's
recommending
for
approval
item.
One
is
authorizing
a
grant
application
to
the
cdc
for
public
health
infrastructure,
workforce
and
data
systems.
Item
two
is
accepting
additional
minnesota
department
of
health
funds
to
provide
support
to
community
health
boards
for
home
visiting
programs.
A
F
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
The
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
is
bringing
forward
eight
items
today.
The
first
is
adopting
the
snow
and
ice
removal
from
public
sidewalk
assessments.
The
second
is
a
grant
acceptance
from
mississippi
watershed
management
organization
for
green
and
stormwater
infrastructure
and
drainage
improvements.
J
The
third
is
a
cooperative
agreement
with
the
county
for
the
fremont
avenue
south
bridge
over
the
midtown
greenway.
The
fourth
is
layout
approval
and
easements
for
hennepin
avenue
and
first
avenue
northeast
roadway
project.
The
fifth
item
is
authorizing
the
downtown
business
improvement
special
service
district
for
2023.
J
The
sixth
item
is
a
large
block
event
permit
for
downtown
streets,
art
festival.
The
seventh
item
is
a
large
block
event
permit
for
major
league
soccer
all-star
concert,
and
the
eighth
item
is
the
hennepin
avenue
south
street
reconstruction
project
layout
approval.
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
the
committee's
report,
all
eight
items
and
I
will
speak
if
that's
okay
with
the
council
president
on
item
number,
eight.
J
J
Ultimately,
on
this
I
will
say
you
know
this
does
a
number
of
things
that
the
original
proposal
did
not.
It
has
six
hours
minimum
transit
priority
lanes
in
both
directions.
It
has
more
clarity
over
how
decisions
are
made
in
the
future
and
metrics
that
are
used.
It
has
regular
monitoring
and
reporting
back
to
council
on
this
as
well.
J
So
I
think
everyone
who
worked
to
get
us
to
this
point
where
we
have
something
that
we
can
move
forward
with
that
is,
is
what
we
feel
roundly
is
better
than
the
original
proposal
and
moves
further
to
address
concerns
that
have
been
raised
along
the
way
so
happy
to
support
this
item
today
to
get
us
this
across
the
finish
line
on
this
much
needed
project.
Thank
you.
A
H
H
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
note
items
six
and
seven,
because
these
are
two
big
things
happening
in
downtown
in
august
as
we
work
towards
creating
a
recovery
type
situation
in
all
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
Item
number.
Six
is
a
great
event
for
kids
august
13th
and
14th.
It
is
the
chalk,
art
festival,
that's
happening,
downtown
and
if
you've
had
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
this
before
you'll
know,
it
is
a
really
great
family-friendly
event
and
then
most
notably,
I
believe,
is
item
number
seven.
Many
of
you
have
heard
major
league
soccer's.
H
All-Star
game
is
coming
to
the
twin
cities
area
and
I
think
there
was
a
bit
of
consternation
about
most
of
the
events
being
in
st
paul,
probably
rightfully
so
since
they
built
a
stadium,
but
the
big
block
party
is
happening
in
downtown
minneapolis
on
the
8th
and
we
will
have
people
from
all
over
the
country-
and,
I
would
probably
say
all
over
the
world
here
in
the
city
to
be
able
to
enjoy
a
really
fun
block
party
and
celebrate
all
things.
Soccer
soccer
off
and
call
football
and
other
places
is
a
great
sport
for
kids.
H
It's
the
kind
of
thing
that
young
families
really
like,
and
it's
really
good
for
downtown.
So
I
just
wanted
to
note
those
two
events
and
encourage
everybody
to
invite
your
constituents,
friends
and
family
to
these
events,
so
that
we
can
show
that
we
can
come
back
with
public
events
for
the
community
that
are
quite
diverse
and
very
exciting.
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
note
those
two
things.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
After
so
many
months
we
have
finally
brought
something
forward.
On
item
number:
eight,
the
hennepin
avenue
south
reconstruction
project.
This
is
the
largest
public
infrastructure
project
in
my
ward
and
council
member
goodman,
and
I
share
the
boundary
on
this,
and
this
project
is
the
first
major
reconstruction
project
since
the
passage
of
the
transportation
action
plan,
the
first
one
since
our
new
government
structure
and
the
first
one
since
the
appointment
of
a
new
public
works
director.
K
I
know
that
all
of
us
have
received
extensive
engagement
on
this
project,
which
speaks
to
its
importance.
The
resolution
that's
in
front
of
us
today
is
not
perfect.
You
know
it's
not
the
outcome,
I
wanted
and
it's
not
the
outcome.
Councilmember
goodman
wanted,
but
we
met
somewhere
in
the
middle,
and
you
know
both
of
us
have
been
really
clear
about
what
we
want
to
fight
for
and
what
matters
the
most
to
us
to
me.
K
It's
going
to
be
continuing
to
advocate
for
24
7
bus
lanes
on
this
corridor
and
on
major
corridors
around
our
city.
Every
resident
that
talked
to
transit
riders
and
their
neighbors
that
attended
an
open
house
walked
and
biked
on
this
corridor
emailed
all
of
us
coordinated
a
direct
action.
We
all
owe
you
a
tremendous.
Thank
you
for
your
hard
work
and
the
impact
that
it
made.
K
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
have
comments
for
both
items.
Number
one
and
eight
one
is
speaking
on
snow
and
ice
removal
for
those
who
are
not
on
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee.
We
actually
had
a
hearing
last
week
where
we
heard
from
frustrated
residents
about
the
current
system
in
place,
and
it
was
clear
from
the
collective
testimony
that
there
is
a
desire
from
the
community
to
see
the
city
prioritize
sidewalks.
L
The
same
way
that
we
do
we
prioritize
roads,
I'm
working
with
our
committee
members
over
at
pwi,
as
well
as
the
public
works
department
and
my
colleagues
on
council
to
advance
the
municipal,
snow
and
ice
removal
program
for
2023
that
makes
snow
and
ice
sidewalk
removal
a
municipal
service.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
advancing
that
work
in
the
coming
weeks.
In
regards
to
item
number,
eight
I've
been
on
record
with
my
opinion
from
the
beginning,
so
I'll
keep
this
one
brief.
L
I
don't
think
you
have
to
be
a
data
scientist
to
understand,
understand
the
the
magnitude
of
impact
from
this
change,
both
with
how
it
will
affect
the
future
eli
that
I
know
is
going
to
be
coming
through
my
ward,
as
well
as
how
it's
going
to
affect
our
climate
goals.
What
is
in
front
of
us
is
not
a
compromise,
but
it's
the
result
of
personal
politics
and
deference
to
the
status
quo.
L
I
will
not
be
voting
for
this
item,
but
I
do
want
to
make
space
and
thank
see
council,
member,
chuck
thai
and,
as
you
noted,
the
thousands
of
outreach
points
that
we
receive
from
external
partners
and
just
for
the
overall
persistence
and
holding
us
accountable
throughout
this
entire
process
and
in
a
public
space.
This
was
an
unnecessary
fight.
To
begin
with,
there
was
consensus
that
24
7
bus
lanes
would
be
the
best
pathway
forward,
but
nevertheless
you
took
this
fight
on
council
member
chuck
thai.
L
I
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
emails
that
my
constituents
reached
out
to
me
about
regarding
the
24
7
bus
lanes.
I
was
very
happy
to
support
that,
but
I
just
want
to
lift
the
work
that
my
colleague,
consumer
chuck
thai
did
for
this
work.
I
know
that
because
of
you
and
because
you
were
listening
to
your
community's
voices,
you
got
this
project
as
far
as
you
could.
I
haven't
seen
anybody
work
as
hard
as
you
on
something
like
this
and
because
of
you.
I
We
are
here
today
and
just
remember
that
I'm
very
thankful
for
your
voice
on
this
council
thankful
for
your
work
and
for
your
persistence
to
continue
to
put
your
community's
voice
at
the
center.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
very
happy
to
vote
for
this
in
favor
today,
and
I
know
that
your
hard
work
was
the
main
reason
it
was.
You
got
this
far.
So
thank
you.
A
F
A
A
A
There
is
one
item,
a
notice
to
a
notice
provided
by
council
member
palmisano
to
amend
the
streets
and
sidewalks
called
to
amend
the
50th
in
france,
special
service
district
boundary
to
include
a
new
mixed-use
development
located
at
49th
and
france.
This
notice
is
here
by
given
and
no
further
action
is
required
at
this
time.
A
J
I
mean
there's
a
certain
weight
to
dealing
with
these
questions
of
employee
appeals
and
they're,
very
oftentimes,
very
personal
and
extremely
significant
in
the
lives
of
the
individuals
affected
and
to
be
able
to
thoroughly
review
dive
in
and
ensure
a
fair
and
just
outcome.
Given
the
circumstances
is
a
heavy
lift,
it's
something
that
takes
a
special
person
to
be
able
to
continually
do
over
and
over
again
for
29
plus
years
over
a
thousand
cases.
J
J
D
A
C
L
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Yesterday
I
was
glad
to
learn
that
mayor
frye
issued
an
executive
order
protecting
abortion
access
here
in
minneapolis.
Many
of
my
colleagues
and
the
public
is
aware
that
I've
also
been
working
with
our
community
partners
on
these
efforts.
You
know,
since
we
were
informed
about
the
the
likely
repeal
of
roe
v
wade,
you
know
back
in
may,
since
then.
I've
also
worked
with
many
of
these
community
partners
to
ensure
that
we
utilize
every
tool
at
the
local
level
to
protect
reproductive
justice
and
bodily
autonomy.
L
So
I'm
glad
to
know
that
you
know
there
is
consensus
here
at
the
city
that
abortion
will
be
a
protected
right
and
now
it's
time
to
match
that
commitment
with
necessary
resources.
I
know
reproduc
reproductive
rights
advocates
like
gender
justice
and
unrestrict
minnesota
have
asked
the
mayor
for
at
least
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
be
included
in
the
2023
budget.
I
really
hope
to
see
this
request
be
reflected
in
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
that
I
know
is
going
to
be
coming
to
us
in
the
coming
weeks.
L
I
also
just
want
to
take
the
time
to
thank
you.
Know,
community
partners
who've
been
consistent
in
their
organizing
and
their
outreach,
which
led
to
yesterday's
executive
order,
keep
up
the
good
work
again.
Organizing
works,
keep
that
work
up
and
I'm
so
grateful
for
you.
All's
leadership
during
what
has
felt
to
be
some
very
scary
and
uncertain
times.
So
I
just
wanted
to
uplift
that.
