A

To say, I'm passionate about it. So sometimes when I see things like protective gear or.

A

Breathing apparatus, or things like that, not funded it makes me want to say well.

A

I need to fight for that, but there's a way to do it and I didn't do it appropriately. So I apologize.

Had been waiting several years for that to happen, but again we worked with the appropriate agencies.

Maryland department of environment and we've made a lot of headway in saint clemens island.

A

It's it's a good way to improve the quality of life for people who just take uh flushing their.

A

Back up, or has it rained in the last couple days, it's something that honestly, if you're having.

A

Trouble with government agencies no matter who it is, but we continually talk about permits you.

A

Reach out to your commissioner and say and don't just say, hey, look, everybody's unreasonable. It.
