I
wanted
to
start
off
this
morning
by
saying
happy
st
patrick's
day,
thank
you
to
our
very
own
committee
manager
for
getting
the
festivities
going

get
in
the
right
mood.
I
don't
know
that
I'm
gonna
be
able
to
wear
this
all
day
because
it's
tugging
in
my
neck
a
little
bit,
but
I
wanted
to

I
got

the
right
spirit
and
say

Unless

Just

Thank

A
Virtually

the
end
of
today's
meeting.
I
want
to
remind

the
way
we
follow
the
format
of
a
traditional
hearing

the
hearing

questions
and
then
we'll
continue
on
to
support
opposition
in
neutral.
Should
you
wish
to
join

and
contribute
to
a
particular
hearing
with

A
We
have
this
morning
our
our
very
own
assembly,
woman
titus,
who
will
be
joining
us
to
present
assembly
bill
218,
and
we
look
forward
to
that
presentation
at
this
time.
I'd
like
to
open
up
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
of
218.
good
morning
and
welcome
assemblywoman.
F
Well,
top
of
the
morning
to
all
of
you
and
thank
you,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
on
government
affairs,
thank
you
for
hearing
ab218
today.
Ab218
is
an
act
relating
to
public
office
authorizing
a
sheriff
or
a
constable
who
campaigned
for
re-election,
the
office
wearing
the
physical
accoutrements
of
their
office.
F
I
am
assemblywoman
robin
titus.
I
represent
district
38,
which
is
all
of
churchill
county
and
most
of
blind
county
ab218
clarifies
that
a
sheriff
or
constable
campaigning
for
re-election
to
office
may
indeed
wear
the
uniform
of
their
office
as
a
wife
of
a
retired
sheriff.
I
know
that
the
job
is
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
365
days
a
year.
The
uniform
they
wear
is
theirs.
When
elected,
they
choose
what
the
uniform
looks
like.
They
choose
the
colors
that
they
and
their
officers
were
aware.
F
F
I'm
now
going
to
ask
eric
bradley
the
executive
director
of
nevada,
sheriffs
and
chiefs
association
to
give
some
further
comments,
and
then
I
will
be
able
available
to
answer
any
questions
if
there
are
any
at
the
end,
and
I
thank
you
for
hearing
the
bill
today.
E
Good
morning
sheriff
flores
and
vice
chair
torrez
and
members
of
the
assembly
government
affairs
committee,
I'm
eric
spratley
executive
director
for
the
nevada,
sheriffs
and
chiefs
association,
which
is
the
professional
association
comprised
of
your
17
elected
sheriffs,
chiefs
of
police
and
law
enforcement
leaders
throughout
the
state
of
nevada.
The
association
is
grateful
to
assemblywoman
dr
titus
for
bringing
forth
this
legislation,
and
I'm
truly
honored
to
be
here
in
front
of
this
committee
to
discuss
the
need
for
assembly
bill
218
and
the
main
points
for
why
we
ask
you
to
consider
this
legislation.
E
Mr
chair,
if
I
may
just
take
a
few
minutes
of
your
time
to
go
over
those
points
please
so
the
office
of
sheriff
in
the
state
of
nevada
is
a
political
nonpartisan
office
in
which
a
candidate
for
sheriff
is
elected
by
the
majority
of
voters
in
each
of
the
17
nevada
counties
with
elections
occurring
every
four
years.
It's
the
same
for
the
office
of
the
county,
constable,
the
sheriff's
qualifications,
duties,
responsibilities
and
other
provisions
or
limitations
are
spelled
out
in
chapter
248
of
nevada,
revised
statutes,
constables
are
in
chapter
258.
E
This
bill
seeks
to
amend
these
two
chapters
by
adding
language
permitting
a
sheriff
and
or
constable
to
where
the
accoutrements
of
the
office,
which
is
badge
and
gun,
while
campaigning
and
here's
why
this
is
important
and
I'll
just
speak
to
sheriff.
Specifically
each
nevada
sheriff
is
the
chief
law
enforcement
officer
in
the
entire
county
24
hours
a
day
and
for
every
day
of
the
year
they
are
in
office.
E
Even
if
the
sheriff
is
not
in
full
agency
uniform,
they
will
almost
always
have
their
badge
and
gun
with
them,
and
the
badge
and
gun
are
considered,
what's
known
as
accoutrements
of
the
uniform,
whether
or
not
the
sheriff
personally
paid
for
and
owns
these
items
to
wear
the
uniform
and
or
its
accoutrements
due
to
theirs.
I'm
sorry,
they
wear
the
uniform
and
their
accoutrements
due
to
their
statutory
responsibility
under
nrs
248-090
to
quote,
keep
and
preserve
the
peace
in
their
respective
counties.
This
is
key.
E
E
E
There
are
police
departments
in
cities,
but
the
elected
sheriff
retains
their
law
enforcement
authority
at
all
times,
similar
to
a
call
for
is
there
a
doctor
in
the
house
during
a
medical
emergency
if
there
is
a
need
for
a
law
enforcement
response
at
any
particular
moment
in
the
sheriff's
presence,
the
elected
sheriff
has
the
personal
duty
to
respond
and
handle
the
issue.
They
need
to
have
at
least
the
minimum
uniform
accoutrements
on
their
person
to
do
so.
E
For
over
160
years,
each
nevada
sheriff
has
and
continues
to
wear
the
official
uniform
and
its
accoutrements
badge
and
gun
minimally,
while
in
public
and
carrying
out
the
wide
variety
of
statutory
duties
such
as
emergencies,
traffic
control,
search
and
rescue
corner
calls
crime,
scenes
jail,
operations,
calls
for
service
officer,
backup
things
like
that,
and
they
also
have
public
service
opportunities,
community
meetings,
safety
meetings,
media
interviews,
recruitment
opportunities,
speaking
events,
fist,
fries,
bake
sales,
town
halls,
all
those
fun
things
they
get
to
do
and
they
like
to
do
as
well
that
are
regularly
presented
to
him.
E
E
The
hatch
act
applies
to
state
and
local
government
employees
who
work
in
the
executive
branch
and
whose
principal
employment
is
in
connection
with
any
activity
financed
in
whole
or
in
part
by
loans
or
grants
made
by
the
u.s
or
a
federal
agency.
Sheriff's
offices
fall
under
this
authority.
We
get
grants
from
the
federal
government.
We
are
bound
by
certain
things
regarding
the
federal
government.
E
The
hatch
act
was
specifically
addressed
by
the
u.s
office
of
special
counsel
in
2012
and
2018.
Regarding
whether
or
not
it
was
a
violation
of
the
hatch
act
for
an
incumbent
sheriff
to
wear
the
uniform
while
campaigning
for
office,
and
the
answer
in
plain
terms
was
no,
the
hatch
act
says
its
interpretation
by
the
office
of
special
counsel
says
no,
it's
not
a
violation,
some
of
the
language
that
they
used
in
that
memo
on
that
determination
says
because
incumbents
already
hold
political
office.
E
We
have
reason
that
incumbents
do
not
violate
the
hatch
act
by
wearing
a
uniform
or
using
an
official
title
while
campaigning
for
reelection.
Thus,
we
have
advised
that
a
sheriff
may
attend
campaign
events
while
wearing
his
uniform
and
identifying
himself
as
the
sheriff
or
use
a
photograph
of
himself
in
uniform
for
campaigning
purposes.
E
Similarly,
a
sheriff
does
not
violate
a
hatch
act
by
driving
an
agency
issued
vehicle
to
a
campaign
event.
That's
from
the
office
of
special
counsel
august
14
2018,
our
nevada
sheriffs
are
well
aware
of
the
hatch
act
and
the
code
of
ethical
standards
that
are
in
nrs
281
and
they
confidently
operate
within
those
requirements.
E
However,
neither
the
hatch
act
nor
nrs281
apply
to
non-incumbents
who
may
feel
free
to
dress
in
the
law
enforcement
uniform
for
the
purposes
of
campaigning
for
the
office
of
sheriff
that
law
that
hatch
act
don't
apply
to
non-incumbent
people
running
for
the
office.
So
you
would
think
that
if
someone's
throwing
on
a
uniform
and
campaigning
for
the
opposite
sheriff
the
nrs
199-430
impersonating,
an
officer
would
apply.
But
unless
that
candidate
tried
to
do
something
official
in
the
uniform
and
injured
or
defrauded
another
person,
that
statute
doesn't
apply.
E
E
To
make
matters
worse.
There
are
there's
no
official
start
date
for
a
sheriff's
campaign
cycle,
so
in
the
case
of
complaints
against
an
incumbent
sheriff
any
behavior
of
a
sheriff
in
uniform
or
simply
wearing
the
badging
gun
at
any
time,
they
are
in
office
may
be
used
as
a
basis
for
a
complaint
for
a
violation
of
nrs
281-400.
Regarding
ethics.
E
The
commission
has
acknowledged
that
the
use
of
uniforms
and
badges
and
campaign
materials
in
nevada
has
been
employed
by
candidates
for
other
law
enforcement
offices
in
nevada
and
and
they
also
state,
without
a
without
a
state
of
nevada
or
local
law
governing
or
clarifying
duties
of
elected
incumbents.
Regarding
utilization
of
the
accoutrements
of
office,
the
commission
had
to
stipulate
to
the
dismissal
of
these
allegations
over
these
over
this
past
decade.
E
These
complaints,
though
none
have
been
sustained,
really
do
wear
on
the
sheriff
accused
and
the
other
sheriffs
as
well.
During
the
time
the
case
is
being
handled
by
the
commission,
it
has
them
all
walking
on
eggshells
rather
than
freely
and
confidently,
focusing
on
the
job
at
hand
and
the
public
service
duties.
They
were
elected
by
the
people
to
do
I'll,
wrap
it
up
with
a
couple
of
considerations.
E
Certainly
not
so
you
have
the
opportunity,
with
this
bill,
to
support
that
elected
sheriff
your
elected
share
and
elected
constable.
If
you
have
one
in
your
county
that
they
may
continue
to
perform
their
statutory
duties
and
daily
functions
without
worrying,
whether
or
not
their
actions
in
uniform
will
be
used
as
a
basis
for
yet
another
complaint,
ab218
will
make
it
clear
that
our
elected
officials
may
wear
the
uniform.
E
They
have
a
right
to
wear
to
perform
the
duties
they've
been
elected
to
perform
and
to
do
so
within
the
guidelines
of
nevada
code
of
ethical
standards
and
the
federal
hatch
act.
For
those
reasons,
the
native
sheriffs
and
chiefs
association
asked
for
your
support
and
after
affirmative
vote
for
assembly
bill
218.
Mr
chairman.
That
concludes
my
testimony.
A
Hi
and
thank
you
again
for
that
detailed
declaration,
I
appreciate
you
going
to
other
sections
of
the
nrs
app
may
have
triggered
some
questions
by
folk
and
you
preemptively
address
those.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that
and
again,
thank
you
assemblywoman
for
joining
us
this
morning.
At
this
time,
we'll
start
off
with
questions.
I
believe
we
have
assemblywoman
dick
who's
going
to
kick
us.
Please.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you,
dr
assemblywoman
titus
and
mr
spratly
for
the
presentation.
G
My
question
is
just-
and
I
think
you
touched
on
it,
but
let's
say
a
deputy
we're
going
to
run
against
the
incumbent
sheriff
or
the
sparks
police
chief
decided.
He
wanted
to
run
for
washoe
sheriff.
E
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Seven
women
dickman
eric
spratley
for
the
record.
It's
questionable,
I
believe,
nrs281.
The
way
I
read
it
covers
the
fact
that
elected
officials
and
their
employees
cannot.
I
was
just
trying
to
pull
it
up
as
I'm
speaking
to
you,
so
I'm
multitasking
I
apologize
for
that.
I
guess
I
won't
try
to
do
that.
I
I
believe
it
covers
them
as
well.
E
The
thing
about
it
is,
and-
and
this
is
the
point
I
made
a
a
person-
I
can
eric
spratley
who's-
not
a
law
enforcement
officer
can
buy
some
uniform
stuff
put
on
patches,
put
on
a
badge
that
says
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department
and
run
for
that
office
and
and
the
hatch
act
281
ethics.
None
of
that
applies
to
me
and
if
I
don't
try
to
do
something
official
with
that
uniform
and
harm
another
person
in
doing
it,
I'm
not
impersonating
an
officer.
So
there's
nothing
that
really
prohibits
a
person
from
doing
that.
E
Now,
when
it
comes
down
to
employees
directly
to
your
question,
I
believe
they're
covered
under
281
and
would
be
prohibited
from
doing
that.
G
E
Yeah,
I
guess
that
would
be
a
decision
for
this
committee
to
make
thank.
G
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman,
we'll
continue
with
questions
and
members,
I'm
looking
through
the
chat.
Are
we
getting
a
question
from
assembly
women
brown
may.
H
And
thank
you
and
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
Assemblymember
titus,
I'd
emailed
you
two
questions
yesterday
and
assemblymember
dickman
just
brought
up
one
of
those,
so
I
greatly
appreciated
it.
But
the
second
question:
let's
say
that
we
have
let's
say
that
there's
somebody
that
runs
for
office
and
wins
in
2015
and
then
they
run
again
and
they
lose.
H
And
so
then
they
decide
to
run
a
third
time
again
for
sheriff
and
they're
running
against
the
incumbent
sheriff
is
that
also
are
both
individuals
able
to
also
wear
that
uniform
because
they
have
both
served
as
sheriffs
or
is
it
only
the
current
sheriff
that
is
able
to
wear
the
uniform
while
campaigning.
E
Eric
spratley
for
the
record
in
your
scenario,
the
non-incumbent
sheriff,
so
the
one
who
was
sheriff,
didn't
win
and
is
coming
back.
He
could
actually
wear
that
uniform
again.
The
incumbent
sheriff
would
not
be
able
to
under
current
law
or
current
lack
of
law.
He
could
but
and
then
people
file,
complaints
and
they
and
the
ethics
commission
deals
with
the
complaint
but
that
they
state
in
they
state
in
in
some
of
their
determinations
that
without
a
a
statute,
a
state
statute
or
a
local
law
prohibiting
it,
then
it's
not
prohibited.
E
So
they
don't
provide
very
clear
direction.
They
have
to
go
off
of
what
seems
to
be
impartial,
and
so
that's
why
we're
asking
for
a
state
law?
And
then
it's
still
to
that
point.
It
still
can
be
a
local
government
choice
and
even
a
policy
decision
by
that
sheriff's
office.
They
have
a
policy
against
it
or
a
local
government
says:
hey,
we
don't
want
our
sheriff,
we're
in
uniform
and
again
that's
up
to
the
local
government
and
so
we're
asking
for
the
state
level
to
be
yeah.
H
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
that
answer,
mr
pratley.
So
so,
if
I'm
understanding
correctly,
the
current
format
is
the
complaint
would
be
done
at
the
local
level
is,
or
could
you
walk
through?
How
that
complaint
is
done?
Is
that
at
the
state
level,
or
is
that
done
at
the
local
level
just
for
clarification
purposes.
E
Yeah
eric
spratley
for
the
record,
I
believe
I
believe
complaints
of
this
nature
would
go
directly
to
the
nevada
ethics
commission
at
the
state
level.
H
E
Yes,
eric
bradley
for
the
record,
your
local
county
commission
can
house
pass
a
county
ordinance
handling
this.
Whether
or
not
a
sheriff
or
an
elected
official
can
wear
a
certain
uniform
during
campaigning.
Yes,
they
can
and
right
now
the
ethics
commission.
E
E
Yes,
a
sheriff
can
wear
he's
elected
for
four
years
and
the
entire
time
he
gets
to
be
the
sheriff
and
not
pull
back
dress
down,
because
he's
got
a
press
conference
he's
out
at
a
at
a
whatever
traffic
crash
scene
and
microphone
comes
up.
Somebody
thinks
it's
it's
campaigning
in
uniform
when
he's
just
actually
being
the
sheriff
and
doing
his
job.
Her
job.
H
F
G
You
chair
flores.
My
question
is
that
basically
you
can't
wear
campaign
gear
while
near
while
you're
near
voting
sites
so
with
him
wearing
his
uniform
to
go
vote.
Is
that
going
to
be
a
violation.
E
Thank
you
for
the
question
assembly
person
duran.
I
I
don't
know
I
don't
have
an
answer
to
that
question.
I
think
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution.
Our
sheriffs
would
be
very
cautious
in
that
regard,
but
I
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
your
question.
F
If
I
might
mr
chair
and
assuming
duran
I'd
like
to
address
that,
actually,
I
think
that
this
bill
doesn't
affect
that.
I
think,
if
sheriff
in
uniform
or
any
police
officer
in
uniform
or
anybody
in
uniform
on
their
way
to
work,
can
go
and
vote.
There's
no
prohibition
that
campaign
law
and
we
could
have
our
legal
counsel
if
they're,
not
down,
writing
helping
finish
some
of
the
bill
drafts.
F
I
think
if
he
wore
a
re-elect
sheriff
campaign
button
under
those
kind
of
things,
but
but
the
uniform
that
somebody
wears
whether
it
be
a
military
national
guard
wherever,
if
they're
wearing
that
on
their
way
to
work
and
going
to
vote,
I
I
would
say
that
that
is
not
a
campaign
violation
and,
and
that's
not
a
re-election
they're
not
wearing
their
t-shirt,
that
they
wore
in
their
parades
for
the
re-election
campaign.
I
think
there'll
be
a
difference
in
and
when,
if
legal
is
available,
we
certainly
could
get
them
to
give
some
clarification
on
that.
G
They're
available
we'd
like
just
to
get
that
clarification
for
for
for
the
record.
Thank
you.
A
We'll
have
our
our
policy
analysts
reach
out
with
the
with
an
inquiry
and
I'm
sure
by
the
conclusion
of
today's
hearing,
we'll
have
a
response
from
council.
As
we
all
know,
we
are
responsible
for
having
them
working
really
late
and
not
being
awake,
because
we
have
so
many
requests
so
they're
out
drafting,
but
I'm
sure
we'll
get
a
response
later.
During
the
hearing
and
with
that
we'll
go
to
assemblywoman
thomas
now,.
G
Good
morning
and
thank
you
cheer
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
ab218
assembly,
woman
titus.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I
just
have
one
question
for
clarification.
G
F
Appropriate
nothing
in
the
thank
you
for
the
question
assembly,
woman,
thomas,
thank
you
for
your
service
also,
and
nothing
in
this
bill
interferes
with
whether
you
could
wear
your
uniform
or
not,
while
you're
campaigning,
it's
your
uniform.
We
have
veterans,
show
up
in
their
uniforms
to
campaigns.
F
There
would
be
nothing
that
restricts
us
based
on
this
law
or
the
current
law
that
we
have,
and
that's
not
not
really
what
this
bill's
purpose
is
and
would
not
affect
your
ability
to
wear
your
uniform
at
any
time
brother.
What.
F
Well,
I
certainly
can't
address
whether
or
not
who
your
opponent
might
be
if
they're
a
veteran
or
not
on
any
one
time
and
again,
this
bill
is
not,
if
I
might
chair
to
assembly
woman
thomas
this
bill,
isn't
about
giving
advantages.
This
bill
clarification
on
ethics
complaint
to
the
sheriff,
and
I
think
this
is
a
one-page
bill
that
we
needed
put
in
statute
to
say:
hey.
They
could
wear
their
uniform
and
going
back
to
assemblywoman
dickman's
question
whether
or
not
the
captain
of
the
sparks
police
force
could
wear
their
uniform
campaign.
F
This
bill
doesn't
prohibit,
nor
does
it
address
whether
they
could
do
that.
That's
a
company
policy-
and
so
this
just
is
going
to
clear
in
statute
indeed
that
the
sheriff
is
able
to
wear
their
uniform
because
of
the
uniqueness
of
that
uniform.
However,
if
the
sparks
city
police
have
no
problem
with
their
captain
wearing
it
and
he's
on
duty,
24
7,
and
that
could
be
a
policy,
none
of
this
bill
affects
that,
whether
or
not
they
can
be
wearing
their
uniform
in
all
these
unique
situations.
I
I
You
know
and
things
like
well,
can
the
sheriff
or
does
the
sheriff
like
where's
uniform
when
he's
fishing
or
you
know
if
you
know,
if
he's
wearing
it
like
27,
24,
7.
and
sort
of
boiling
it
down?
Is
I
understand
what
you
know
what
what
this
bill
is
for,
but
from
the
other
side,
how
does
anyone
know
when
the
sheriff
is
being
the
sheriff
or
when
the
sheriff
is
in
campaign
mode?
If
the
sheriff
looks
the
same
in
both
situations.
F
And,
and
thank
you
for
that
question
and
comment
having
been
married
and
still
married
to
a
sheriff,
he
wore
he
had
his
badge
and
he
had
his
gun
when
we
went
fishing
just
so.
You
know
that
he
never
left
those
behind
so
whether
he's
in
a
supermarket,
whether
he's
fishing
or
wherever
they
are
the
sheriff,
and
we
could
have
gotten
a
call
and
have
gotten
calls
during
all
any
situation.
F
So
there's
none
that
you
could
describe
whether
or
not
he
would
have
his
badge
or
gun,
because
he
did
and
did
he
have
some
other
stuff
in
the
car.
Yes,
so
again,
and
that's
the
purpose
as
eric
bradley
expressed
because
they
could
be
at
a
car
accident
in
october,
they
could
be
at
a
car
accident
the
day
of
the
election.
They
could
be
at
any
time
they
would
be
in
uniform.
And
that's
what
your
point.
F
Your
question
is
well
taken,
because
how
do
you
know
if
you're
you're
campaigning
or
not
when
does
that?
When
is
that
x
happen?
When
do
oh,
I'm
in
campaign
mode?
Now
I'm
the
sheriff
mode
and
it
doesn't
happen
because
they're
always
in
the
sheriff
mode
and
it
may
be
in
re-election
year,
and
so
that's
where
the
gray
zone
wears.
F
I
So
again,
thinking
about
this
this
all
night
and
reading
the
letter
that's
attached
and
listening
to
mr
spratly
today,
I'm
wondering
if
the
problems
that
that
are
coming
up
with
everything
that
that
mr
spratly
had
mentioned
whether
or
not
these
these
issues
could
be
taken
care
of
by
tweaking
or
working
on
campaign
laws
to
tighten
them
up
as
opposed
to
you
know
what
this
bill
does.
F
Thank
you
for
that
question
and-
and
mr
sparkly
can
address
it
also,
but
I
will
say
that
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
prior
to
this
bill
being
presented
and
and
what
was
the
best
fix
for
this
clarity
because
of
campaigns,
as
as
we
all
know
sitting
here
on
the
in
this
hearing
on
both
sides
of
of
well,
we
would
have
been
on
both
sides
of
the
the
table
here
today
with
the
presentation
if
we
were
live,
but
in
any
case
on
all
sides
of
the
zoom
meeting.
F
We
know
that
campaigns
can
can
be
tough
and
and
if
none
of
us
want
to
have
an
ethics
violation
filed
against
us
and
there
can
be
issues
out
there.
So
we
looked
at
the
different
options,
whether
or
not
we
go
into
the
ethics.
What
would
be
put
the
most
clarity
with
the
simple
wording,
change
and
the
simplest
process
to
make
it
clear,
and
this
is
where
we
landed
and
then
I'm
going
to
have
mr
spratly
add
anything
he
might
add
to
that.
Want
to
add.
If
I
might.
E
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
eric
bradley
for
the
record
yeah
that
that's
right,
it's
just
it's
really
about
going
for
the
clearest
option
in
this
regard.
E
Sheriffs
are
unique
and
constables
as
well
in
that
they
especially
sheriffs
are
they
have
to
have
that
uniform
on
and
accoutrements
of
the
uniform
is
what
it
really
comes
down
to.
It
used
to
be
thought
of
that.
Well,
if
the
sheriff
buys
his
uniform
and
buys
his
badge
and
buys
his
gun,
then
it's
his
personal
property.
He
can
wear
it
whenever
you
want,
but
that
it's
been
determined.
That's
not
the
case
that
it's
the
official
uniform
of
the
sheriff's
office.
E
So
it's
unique
in
that
regard,
and
so,
when
you
get
into
the
campaign
side
of
things
and
it
starts
affecting
everybody-
maybe
you're
in
a
an
elected
official
is
in
their
official
position
in
a
tweed
jacket,
with
the
with
the
leather
patches
on
the
elbows
all
the
time
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
they're
campaigning
in
that
same
tweet
jacket
and
they
can
get
an
ethics
complaint
filed
against
him,
and
so
it's
kind
of
a
stretch.
But
that's
that's
like
that.
My
little
pin
here
is
an
accoutrement
of
my
position
in
this
organization.
E
So
it
really
is
that
the
sheriff's
have
the
duty,
they've
been
elected,
to
do
that
job
365
days
a
year,
and
certainly
they
don't
sleep
in
their
uniform
or
sit
there
in
a
uniform
fishing,
but
but
they
have
the
badge
and
the
gun
and
they're
ready
to
respond
at
any
time
for
a
law
enforcement
crisis.
So
it
really
made
sense
to
put
it
in
specifically
248
and
258
for
for
constables.
I
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
those
answers
personally,
I'm
just
trying
to
look
at
some
sort
of
a
fair
balance
on
this,
so
I
do
appreciate
the
answers.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
And
thank
you
assemblywoman.
Next
we
have
assemblywoman
brownmay.
C
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you,
some
of
them
and
titus
for
bringing
the
bill
and
giving
us
an
opportunity
to
consider
its
distinction.
I
just
have
one
one
clarifying
question
and
certainly
appreciate
that
a
sheriff
would
need
to
carry
a
badge
and
a
gun
at
all
times,
so
they
can
be
easily
identified
in
the
duty
of
his
office.
I'm
curious
to
know
that
when
there
is
campaigning
actually
going
on,
is
there
any
distinction
here
between
appearing
in
person
in
uniform?
C
E
Sure
there
is
no
distinction,
eric
spratley
for
the
record.
Thank
you
assemblyman
for
the
question.
There's
no
distinction
here.
It
really
does,
and
especially
when
you
look
at
the
hatch
act
of
1939
when
they
addressed
this
in
2012
and
2018
regarding
sheriffs,
they
said
it.
It's
not
improper.
E
In
simple
terms,
they
said
no,
it's
not
improper
and
so
go
ahead
and
do
it
and
they
even
included
the
vehicle,
and
I'm
thankful
that
they
did
because
our
like,
I
said
our
rural
sheriffs,
nye
county
sheriff,
rarely
she
will
be
out
driving
and
come
across
the
traffic
crash
or
hear
of
an
officer
needing
assistance,
so
she's
driving
a
market
patrol
vehicle
and
will
show
up
on
scene,
and
so
the
person
on
scene
knows
that
she's
in
she's.
Actually
you
know,
I
guess
they
would
probably
consider
a
deputy
of
the
department.
E
K
Thank
you,
sir,
and
thank
you
assemblyman
for
presenting
this
legislation.
It's
great
to
see
you
in
another
committee
hearing.
I
know
we've
seen
each
other
in
several
committees
this
week
and
so
my
question.
I
guess
as
I'm
looking
at
the
legislation,
I
know
that
we're
saying
uniform
badge
and
then
in
the
conversation
today
during
the
hearing,
we've
also
talked
about
like
the
the
gun.
That
is
also
that
the
sheriff's
office
also
would
have
right
or
the
constable's
office,
and
I
don't
see
that
specified
here
in
the
legislation.
K
They
think
that
the
the
disagreement
here
with
the
committee,
specifically
with
the
uniform,
not
with
the
other
two
items
right
like
I-
can
understand
that
an
officer
would
have
the
badge
on
their
person
at
all
times
right.
But
you
know
I
I'm
just
again
like
even
our
state
offices
right,
a
a
state
employee
couldn't
wear
their
state,
their
that
badge
to
go
and
to
go
and
go
attend
to
campaign
events.
I
I
I'm
really
just
having
concerns.
K
F
You're
talking
about
what
thank
you
for
the
question,
if
I
stare,
hopefully
I
can
clarify
that,
are
you
talk?
Are
you
speaking
towards
them
carrying
a
firearm
at
all
times?
Well,
I.
K
Think
that
was
part.
Thank
you.
I
think
that
was
part
of
the
conversation
that
mr
spratley
mentioned
earlier
on
that
they
should
be
able
to
carry
their
badge
and
their
gun.
So
that
was
a
big
part
of
that
conversation
and
that's
not
specified,
and
obviously
it
does
say
without
limitation,
but
I
just
feel
like.
I
think
that
without
limitation
might
be
a
little
general,
they
can't
use
a
government
car
off
duty
as
desired
right.
So
I
I
think,
if
we
could
just
get
more
clarification
on
that.
F
F
Isn't
somebody
who's
hired
through
a
department
that
is
assigned
a
car
and
when
they're
on
duty
they
have
that
car,
like
all
government
officials
like
any
of
our
employees
here
in
our
offices
who
do
such
a
good
job,
they
they
are
hired,
they
do
their
shift
and
when
they're
off
duty
they
are
off
duty.
F
Of
course,
when
he
goes
to
bed,
he
puts
the
gun
beside
the
bed.
He
doesn't
wear
it
to
bed,
but
it
is
never
far
away,
and
I
will
tell
you
that
so
and
that-
and
that's
the
reality
here,
because
there
was
that
gray
zone
of
you
go
home
and
change
you
go
to
this
event
or
whatever
they.
I
was
asked
to
carry
this
bill
because,
because
of
the
concern
about
the
ethics,
are
they
entitled
to
do
this
and
we're
trying
to
make
this
just
distinction?
F
It
doesn't
roll
over
to
the
other
areas
that
folks
say
you
know
that
are
an
employee
at
that
time,
and
that
would
be
a
limited
policy.
But
again
the
gun
stays
with
them,
no
matter,
and
even
if
they're
out
campaigning
in
a
suit,
he
will
have
his
gun
his
gun
on,
so
that
that's
that's
just
part
of
the
process.
E
Please
do
thank
you,
mr
chair,
assemblywoman
and,
and
vice
chair
to
you,
it's
good
to
see
you
and
thank
you
for
the
question
just
to
add
to
that
the
accoutrements
of
the
office,
even
if
they're,
in
a
suit
like
like
this
they're,
still
wearing
them,
and
if,
if
it
becomes
visible
at
any
time
that
could
be
in
you
know,
they
go
to
sit
down,
they
unbutton
the
jacket
and
then
the
badge
is
visible.
So
the
accoutrements
of
the
office
is
is
important.
E
They
want
to
be
able
to
without
question
and
without
complaint,
be
able
to
wear
that
uniform
to
do
their
normal
duties
and
and
if
something
turns
into
what
could
be
perceived
as
campaigning
they're
answering
media
questions,
and
it
looks
like
somebody
says
now:
they're
campaigning
it
just
gets
rid
of
that
gray
area
and
and
as
far
as
the
hatchet
goes,
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
that.
E
The
hatch
act
says
it
doesn't
apply
to
like
a
sheriff
in
uniform,
going
door-to-door
campaign
doesn't
apply
to
that,
so
that
specific
kind
of
because
and
hatchet
said,
because
a
person
feels
compelled
to
like
open
the
door
and
talk
to
the
law
enforcement
officer.
It
would
so
it
would
really
maybe
put
the
person
back
on
their
heels
a
bit,
so
it
doesn't
apply
to
that.
It's
not
just
free
reign.
E
Do
anything
you
want
in
uniform,
and
our
sheriffs
in
nevada
are
very
cognizant
of
that
they're
in
cognizant
of
281
ethics
violations
or
cognizant
of
the
hatchet,
and
they
just
wanted
that
that
clarity-
and
that's
all
we're
asking
for
here
today-
is
that
248
and
258
in
the
battery
of
ice,
that
you
be
clear
that
they're
allowed
to
be
there.
K
And
I
I
guess
I
would
just
caution
about
saying
like
what
this
bill
does
and
doesn't
apply
to,
because
I
believe
that
it
would
actually
apply
to
all
of
that.
So,
if
the,
if
that
was
the
discussion
like,
I
think
that
there
may
be
need
to
be
more
clarification
on
what
type
of
campaigning
this
could
apply
to.
Is
it
just
photos
on
literature,
or
is
this
more
general
than
that
right?
Is
it
that
door-to-door
campaigning?
Because
when
I
look
at
the
term
campaign
for
reelection,
I
think
that
you
know
that's.
K
Those
are
very
much
essential
parts
of
it.
I
I
don't
need
a
response.
I
just
urge
the
sponsor
essentially
to
consider
maybe
putting
more
clarifying
language
into
that.
C
Thank
you
chair,
so
the
question
that
I
have
since
we're
talking
about
clarity
so
with
them
campaigning
with
their
uniforms
on.
Would
that
mean
that
the
taxpayers
are
paying
for
them
to,
for?
Are
they
footing
the
bill
for
them
to
be.
F
Campaigning
so
just
a
clarity
here,
whether
they're
they're
campaigning
or
not,
they're,
still
there
they're
salaried.
So
what
what
they
do
is
is
what
they
do,
so
it
doesn't
change
and
any
of
that
behavior,
and
so
I
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some.
F
I
guess
I'm
I'm
sensing
some
pushback
on
folks,
thinking
that
it's
giving
undue
response
abilities
and
I
think
we
can
get
some
clarity
both
on
on
your
question,
someone
martinez
and
vice
chair's
point
about:
do
they
go
to
door
to
door
on
you
know
knocking
on
doors
campaigning?
F
That
would
be
inappropriate
and
that's
not
the
intent
of
this
bill,
and
so
I
think
we
should
certainly
get
you
clarity,
because
your
questions
that
folks
have
raised
are
well
intentioned
and
I
do
appreciate
them,
and
those
are
points
that
that,
if
you
have
those
questions,
what
is
it?
What
does
the
citizen
have?
So
so
I
appreciate
you
bringing
that
up
and
whether
or
not
the
taxpayers
are
paying
for
them
to
go
door-to-door,
whether
they're
wearing
their
uniform
or
not.
F
When
they're
campaigning
they're
campaigning
at
times
when
they're
the
elected
official,
absolutely
whether
they
have
that
uniform
on
or
not
because
they're
working
24
hours
a
day
and
they're
salaried,
so
that
that's
not
that
doesn't
this
bill
doesn't
affect
whether
they're
going
to
go
door-to-door
and
and
campaign
when
they're
a
salaried
employee.
So
just
just
to
be
clear
on
that
to
answer
your
question
directly
and
then
back
to
the
vice
chairs
question,
I
I
think
those
are
great
questions
great
points
and
we
can
certainly
get
some
more
clarity
for
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
assemblywoman!
Next,
if
we
can
assemblywoman
consonant,
I
don't
know
that
if
you
wanted
me
to
go
back
to
you,
my
understanding,
maybe
that
that
you
don't
you
no
longer
have
a
follow-up
question,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure.
I
Thank
you
chair.
Actually,
my
question
was
asked.
Mine
was
a
little
bit
more
narrow.
It's
been
mentioned
that
the
the
sheriff
has
a
part
of
the
accoutrements
as
the
car.
So
I
guess
my
specific
question
was
a
little
bit
different,
but
assemblywoman
titus
may
be
able
to
follow
up
with
it
if
they're
using
the
car
to
go
to
campaign
events
and
back
from
campaign
events,
I
know
that's
not
necessarily
part
of
the
salary,
but
is
that
something
that
the
taxpayers
are
paying
for,
whether
it's
campaign
or
not.
F
So
having
a
vehicle
assigned
to
you
is
assigned
to
you
and
it's
it's
an
x
amount,
whether
wherever
you're
going
with
that
vehicle,
I
can
assure
you
my
husband
was
he
wouldn't
even
drop
his
child
off
at
school
in
the
sheriff's
vehicle,
because
that's
just
not
something
he
did
and
and
just
to
clarify
on
that
each
sheriff
will
have
their
own.
This
bill
doesn't
address
that
this
bill
doesn't
say
you
can
or
cannot
take
the
car.
I
think
that's
a
to
me.
F
A
sheriff
has
to
be
responsible
and
know
what
is
right
and
wrong
do
any
of
us
any
anybody
out
there
that
has
a
a
issued
vehicle.
Do
they
only
ever
use
it
for
the
purpose
intended.
We
would
hope
that
that's
the
key
and-
and
I
would
hope
that
the
sheriff's
also
followed
that
rule
and
so
just
to
be
clear.
That's
not
what
this
bill
is
trying
to
do.
E
An
assembly
woman
constituting
eric
spradley
for
the
record,
the
accoutrements
of
the
office
as
defined
by
nevada,
include
the
badge
and
the
gun
they
don't
include
a
vehicle.
The
hatch
act
is
the
one
that,
in
that
statement
I
read
talked
about
the
vehicle
not
being
a
violation
of
the
hatch
act
and
the
hatch
act
is
the
one
that
talked
about
door
to
door
campaigning
as
well.
So
that's
where
that
that
comes
from.
I
Thank
you.
I
really.
I
really
appreciate
those
answers,
but
to
me
this
goes
back
to
the
distinctions
and
how
great
they
are
and
how
I
think
we
could
probably
go
on
for
hours
coming
up
with
situations
where
we're
unknown,
whether
or
not
they
would
be
sheriff
as
sheriff
or
sheriff
as
a
campaigner.
So
I
appreciate
those
answers.
I
just
feel
like
the
distinctions
as
we
go
on
are
getting
harder
and
harder.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
titus,
your
presentation,
mr
spratley.
Thank
you
as
well.
Just
a
quick
question.
I'm
just
wondering
under
the
bill
what
would
happen
if
a
an
incumbent
sheriff
were
to
be
campaigning
for
another
office?
The
way
it's
written
is
says
you
know
for
reelection,
which
I
think
at
least
implies
for
the
office
currently
helps
if
an
elected
sheriff
were
to
campaign
for
county
commission
or
some
other
office,
would
that
sheriff
be
allowed
to
use
to
excuse
me
where
the
uniform
under
those
circumstances?
Thank
you.
F
Well,
at
this
point
in
time,
they
can
do
that
because
it's
their
uniform
and
they
can
show
up
in
their
uniform
now
and
campaign
for
that
next
office.
It's
it's
it's
not
addressed
in
in
this
bill.
The
complaint
was,
they
were
campaigning
their
office
and
they
shouldn't
that
was
the
ethics
concerns,
and
so
whether
or
not
a
sheriff
would
show
up
in
their
uniform
and
campaign.
F
I
think
that
a
sheriff
would
probably
have
to
make
those
choices,
whether
that
was
a
good
decision
on
his
part
or
not
to
be
campaigning
for
that
office,
and
I
would
go
back
to
the
scenario
is
one
of
the
concerns
is
if
they
were
running
for
they
filed
for
county
commissioner,
and
they
then
are
running
for
county
commissioner,
but
now
they're
going
to
an
accident
scene
and
they're
reporting
on
that,
but
somebody
filed
a
complaint
against
them
because
now
they're
in
uniform
this
guy's
running
for
office,
I
think
you
know
these
are
again.
F
We've
we've
opened
up
a
lot
of
gray
zones,
we're
just
trying
to
get
clarity,
whether
or
not
they
could
wear
their
uniform
for
any
office
that
they're
running
for
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr
spratly
to
see
what
his
his
comments
are.
E
A
Thank
you
both
and
I
know
maybe
we
could
get
some
clarification
a
little
in
a
little
bit
on
that
particular
question.
Next,
if
you
can
go
to
assemblyman
ellison.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
you
know
as
as
a
rural
person,
you
know
a
lot
of
these
sheriffs.
They
might
get
called
in
to
speak
and
talk
about
campaigns
and
stuff
like
this
and
they're
still
on
duty,
so
they
would.
They
would
still
go
in
in
their
full,
uniform
and
or
if
there's
any
event,
they're
there
as
a
sworn
officer,
but
they
still
might
be
campaigning.
So
I
I
support
this
bill.
D
I
think
it's
a
good
bill,
and
mostly
with
some
of
the
people
in
in
like
italy,
eureka
elko
all
these
other
small
counties,
and
so
I
strongly
support
the
bill,
and
I
just
wanted
you
to
let
you
know
too
I'm
trying
to
follow
two
meetings
and
it
was
ignoring
everything
I'm
just
trying
to
do
both
at
one
time,
but
I
want
to
get
on
the
record
that
this
is
a
good
bill
and
I
couldn't
believe
that
we
had
to
go
to
this
point
to
put
a
bill
in
for
something
that's
common
sense.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
appreciate
the
second
chance
one
of
my
colleagues
brought
up
a
topic
that
I
think
is
kind
of
important
here.
I
can't
remember
who
it
was,
but
but
the
fact
that
they
would
be
able
to
under
this
bill,
use
their
uniform
and
say
tv,
ads
and
campaign
materials
kind
of
seems
to
me.
It
will
give
them
an
unfair
advantage.
What
if
we
clarified
that
a
little
bit
since
the
point
of
this
bill,
seems
to
be
to
make
it
easier
for
sheriffs
not
to
have
ethics
complaints
filed
when
they're
performing
their
duties.
G
Yeah,
would
you
consider
that
I
mean
make
being
more
specific
on
what
this
allows.
I
want
to
support
this
bill
right.
I
had
a
sheriff
who
took
a
picture
with
me.
He
was
on
duty
and
we
used
it
on
a
campaign
piece
and
found
out
after
we
had
5
000.
This
was
years
ago.
We
had
5
000
of
them
printed
and
had
to
destroy
them
so
because
no
one
was
sure
if
it
would
be
an
issue.
F
All
right,
no,
I
appreciate
the
question
and
the
observation
and
and
certainly
will
try
to
be
thoughtful
on
on
where
we
need
to
fix
this
and
and
your
concerns
on
what,
when
they
can
and
cannot,
it
is
all
gray
zones.
I
appreciate
everyone's
questions
and
everyone's
comments,
because
I
think
that
they're
all
thoughtful.
I
appreciate
everybody
on
the
committee
because
each
of
you
had
a
unique
question
and
observation
and
that's
why
we
have
these
hearings.
F
We
have
hearings
to
vet
these
things
before
they
go
forward
and
if
we
can
kind
of
get
you
on
board
the
need
for
this
and
clarify
what
this
doesn't
address
and
whether
it
doesn't
all
of
them
were
great
questions
and
thoughts
and
obviously
needed
to
be
asked,
and
I
can
guarantee
we'll
try
to
work
on
that.
F
But
but
I
I
hear
your
question,
I
don't
have
an
answer
for
that.
Assuming
dickman,
I
think
we
can
certainly
follow
through
with
that
and
see.
If
we
can
kind
of
clarify
some
of
this
for
you,
mr
spratly,
do
you
have
a
comment
perhaps
or
someone
dickman.
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman
at
this
time.
I
don't
believe
we
have
any
additional
questions
members.
I
do
appreciate
everybody's
participation
this
morning
and
engaging
this
bill
at
that
time.
I'd
like
to
move
on
and
and
invite
those
wishing
to
testify
in
support
of
assembly
bill
218
if
we
could
go
to
the
phones
broadcast,
please.
J
J
Caller,
with
the
last
three
digits
of
zero
one,
four
please
slowly
state
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record.
You'll
have
two
minutes
and
may
begin
good
morning.
My
name
is
christopher
reese.
Last
night's
fellow
robert
ida,
easy
sam
on
behalf
of
the
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department.
I
would
like
to
echo
director
sprouley's
testimony
to
allow
elected
sheriffs
to
campaign
in
uniform
and
we
are
in
support
of
ab218.
J
Sheriffs
have
been
duly
elected
and,
in
turn,
have
earned
that
title
as
well
as
the
ability
to
wear
their
uniform
which
identifies
them
as
such.
This
bill
decreases
confusion
of
both
the
elected
sheriff
and
the
citizens
of
nevada.
I
would
like
to
thank
assemblywoman
titus
for
bringing
this
bill
forward
and
thank
the
committee
for
the
hearing.
A
J
L
L
There
needs
to
be
that
separation
between
the
politician
in
the
position,
which
is
the
highest
ranking
law
enforcement
officer
in
the
county.
Many
hypotheticals
have
been
presented.
I'm
curious
the
actual
yearly
number
of
ethics
complaints
regarding
this
issue.
This
bill
does
not
strengthen
transparency
and
accountability.
L
How
many
times
has
a
former
law
enforcement
officer
running
for
office
worn
their
uniform?
I
know
that
alan
fox,
he
was
running
for
sheriff
in
2018
in
washoe
county
and
he
did
not
wear
his
uniform.
He
was
former
reno
pd.
Also
adam
hopkins
ran
in
2018
for
sheriff
he
was
a
former
washer
county
sergeant
or
maybe
even
higher
ranking.
L
He
did
not
campaign
in
uniform
as
a
previously
uninformed
voter,
and
I
admit
it-
I
was
I
that
is
something
that
would
sway
me
seeing
somebody
in
their
uniform
would
as
a
being
an
uninformed
voter,
I'm
not
anymore,
but
I
was.
Would
be
something
that
would
sway
me
to
vote
for
them,
and
I
don't
think
it's
right.
Please
don't
support
this
bill.
Please
support
bills
that
strengthen
transparency
and
accountability
from
law
enforcement.
Thank.
A
Time
you
at
this
time
we'll
invite
those
wishing
to
speak
in
the
neutral
position
to
assembly
bill
218.
A
F
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
flores.
I
I
really
appreciate
all
the
wonderful
questions
that
were
brought
up
by
members
of

Your
committee
today
trust
that
I
will
take
each
and
every
question
to
heart
and
try
to
get
some
clarifying
language
and
answer
your
concerns
and
to
those
of
you
who
have
reached
out
with
me
via
email.
F
I
still
have
about
fifteen
thousand
emails
on
my
inbox
trying
to
get
through
them
as
best
I
can
so
I
apologize
for
not
responding
earlier,
but
prior
to
this,
this
meeting
happy

Thank
you

Thank
you.
A
And
again,
thank
you,
assemblywoman.
I'm
sure
the
members
will
continue
to
reach
out
with
questions
and
work
with
you
on
this
bill
at
this
time,
we'll
close
out
the
hearing

Thank
you
again,

joining
us

morning
and
all
the
work
that
you
all
do
to
help
our
nevada
citizens.
A
At
this
time.
I'd
like
to
invite
those
wishing
to
speak
in
public
comment.
I
want
to
remind
those
of
you
who
will
be
joining
us
in
public
comment
that
this
is
not
a
time
to
reopen
a
hearing
and
or
debate
a
hearing.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
you
to
speak
about
general
matters
that
pertain
and
fall
within
the
purview
of
this
committee.
A
I
say
that
because
I
don't
want
to,
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
testify
and
get
involved
and
participate
and
be
heard,
but
but
I'll
have
to
cut
you
off
if
you
do
that,
so
at
this
time,
we'll
go
to
the
phone
lines
and
invite
those
wishing
to
participate
in
public
comment
broadcast.
Please.

My

was
38
years
old
when
he
was
hog
tied
by
reno
police
and
affixiated
to
death
by
four
deputies
at
washoe
county
jail.
Those

christopher,
good,
david
tallman,
jorge
parisio
and
officer
maxwell,
brandon,
glenn,
timothy
sanger
and
paul
hubbell.

Can
you
try
to
imagine
being
a
child
and
having
to
process
your
parent?
Being
asphyxiated
to
death
by
those
who
we
have
taught
taught
are
there
to
protect
us
kenny
stafford
was
also
a
father
of
three
when
he
was
killed
by
sparks
police.
Nico
smith
was
a
father
when
he
was
asphyxiated

warshaw
county
sheriff's
office.
Johnny
bonte

sparks
police.
Kyle
zindelman
was
the
father
of
three
when
he
was
killed
by
multiple
law
enforcement
agencies
in
nevada.
L
I'm
sorry
there's
not
a
single
day
hour,
a
minute
my
brother
and
the
torture
and
terror
he
experienced
is
not
on
my
mind.
This
is
why
I
con
continue
until
my
last
breath
to
be
his
voice
and
advocate
for
change.
I
don't
want
your
families
to
know
this
pain
and
it
is
a
real
reality.
I
too
once
lived
on
an
imaginary
pedestal,
where
my
loved
one
would
never
be
murdered
by
police
without
consequence
either.
Please
promote
bills
that
support
transparency
and
accountability
from
law
enforcement.
Thank
you.
A
And
thank
you
again
for
joining
us
and,
as
always,
we're
always
sorry
to
hear
about
this
tragic
loss
of
your
brother.
We
could
continue
with
those
wishing
to
speak
in
public
comment.
We
could
go
to
the
next
caller
broadcast.
Please.
A
A
Thank
you,
members.
As

very
own

constantine.
Please
