Today,
Dave
on
behalf
of
all
members
of
City
Council,
we
welcome
you
today.
We
also
welcome
your
wife
Myrna
and
your
sister
Donna,
and
you
know
today,
I
asked
some
of
your
colleagues
in
the
media,
their
opinion
of
you
and
from
Pat
Loeb.
She
said:
fair,
caring
and
a
mensch
and
that's
after
35
years,
I
understand
of
a
long-standing
great
relationship,
pretty
amazing
and
from
Jake
calling
you
out
Jake,
he
said
he's
accurate,
it's
really
good
and
from
how
whose
was
Hal
over
here
I
hope
to
show
us
house
said
to
us
to
me.
B
I
didn't
know
this
you're
a
scratch
golfer
and
a
shortstop,
pretty
amazing
and
from
all
my
members
of
council
to
a
spoke
to
about
Dave
Davies,
the
common
denominator,
honest
and
accurate.
Well,
he
can
get
better
than
that.
So
today
we're
honoring
and
congratulating
Dave
Davies
on
his
retirement
from
whi,
Weis
newsdesk
and
recognizing
his
excellence
in
journalism
and.

I
K
L
M
Thank
You,
council
president,
this
is
a
little
overwhelming
I
want
to
thank
councilman
DOM
for
the
honor
of
this
resolution
and
thank
all
of
you
who
did
not
object
when
the
voice
vote
was
held,
appreciate
that
I
know
from
many
years
sitting
at
that
press
table
that
nobody
wants
a
long
speech
on
the
last
day
before
recess.
So
I
will
be
brief.
I
want
to
say
a
couple
of
things,
though,
about
this
body,
and
you
members
one
is
that
I
really
appreciate
what
you
do,
that
is
to
say
the
challenges
that
you
face.
M
Then
you
will
find
in
legislative
bodies
elsewhere
in
Washington
Senate.
Recent
senators
can
anonymously
put
a
hold
on
legislation
anonymously
in
Harrisburg.
They
can
ram
through
a
piece
of
far-reaching
consequential
legislation
in
hours
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
You
remember
what
happened
when
the
partly
leadership
of
the
parking
authority
changed
hands
back
in
what
was
at
2003.
It
happens
that
doesn't
happen
here
right.
You
introduced
a
bill.
There
is
a
hearing.
It
is
advertised
when
it
is
enacted.
M
It
must
be
read
in
final
form
at
least
a
week
twice
a
week
in
succession,
typically
three
times
and
I,
think
it's
a
little
messy
and
it
takes
a
little
longer,
but
I
have
seen
in
over
years
and
years
of
car,
this
body
that
it
results
in
better
legislation
and
I.
Think
people
should
know
that
I
also
just
want
to
say
that
it's
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
that,
unlike
some
national
figures,
you
don't
mock
those
of
those
who
cover
you
as
purveyors
of
fake
news
or
enemies
of
the
people.
