um Chair recognizes councilwoman advance. Thank you. Mr President I just want to um just say a couple of things. The first is that as the mother of a 13 year old, the death of a 14 year old being where they were supposed to be doing, what they were supposed to be doing um is just you know it's it's unbelievable. It should not be happening.

We have somehow normalized what's happening in a lot of our communities. There is nothing normal about the death of a 14 year old on the football field or the other 22 23 children, children who have been murdered in the city of Philadelphia through gun violence this year, um so I know that it's highly likely that there were well. It was stated that there were five Shooters at Roxborough. There are likely five households where these Firearms are today councilman Jones, and when we talk about you know, what do you do when a shooter lives with you?

You know it may sound like a catchy little phrase, but that's real, because it's likely that those Shooters are living in some with Mom Dad Grandma Granddad they're living with someone, and so, if you even suspect that a young person in your household was involved, you need to flip that mattress up go under the bed. Go in the closet. You need to run through that room and turn them in back in the day. You know when I was coming up.

If you had a situation with a young person in your household, you might go to like a Chuck Stone, remember back in the day or you might go to. You know someone to walk your young person there, whoever you feel like you need to walk them in. They need to come in okay, and so this is something that we need to do. Our community needs to do, and so I just really want to put the word out and and I want to thank my colleagues for all of their work on gun violence. I.

Thank you, councilman for your uh steadfastness fastness and bringing this resolution forward regarding the number of Trauma Centers in the city of Philadelphia. We call ourselves a city of EDS and meds, and if you have to pass that many hospitals to get to a Trauma Center, then that statement is questionable.

It's Highly, Questionable, and so all of the things that we do really need to be re-examined when it comes to saving the lives of our young people and keeping them out of Harm's Way and I also wanted to thank councilmember Thomas for his very thorough report. It was outstanding. You know, I want to encourage the viewing public to get a copy of the report. Read it digest it and demand it. I think looking for a 100-day plan now, maybe a 90-day plan from this Administration is is an easy, easy thing to do.

Asking them to do. It should be easy. We know we have the funds, we know we have a budget surplus. We should just do it. The city of Philadelphia should just do it so I just wanted to to say that Mr President. Thank you for indulging me on that. I want to on a completely different note.

I wanted to um I wanted to make sure that folks know that we were still doing our property. Tax assessment appeals it's kind of hard to Pivot um on something like this, but I just wanted to make sure that people knew that we were still doing property tax assessment appeals and that they could call our office for more information at 215-686-3424. Thank you, Mr President. Thank you. Councilwoman.
