00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,900
I believe it's a good idea I know plenty

199
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:18,660
of contractors they travel throughout

200
00:21:18,660 --> 00:21:22,260
the cities and they do their zoning and

201
00:21:22,260 --> 00:21:24,660
they just micro a few throws so I

202
00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:26,520
it's a good idea it'll help the city out

203
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,740
and that's basically what I had to say

204
00:21:28,740 --> 00:21:35,510
thank you and have a good day

205
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,679
I have no one else time to speak so I

206
00:21:37,679 --> 00:21:38,940
declare the public comment on the

207
00:21:38,940 --> 00:21:42,120
legislative agenda closed

208
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:45,059
after approval of the legislative agenda

209
00:21:45,059 --> 00:21:47,220
well by Miss Patrick second by Mr mutive

210
00:21:47,220 --> 00:21:50,270
Aaron all in favor

211
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,860
now we'll have privilege of the floor

212
00:21:51,860 --> 00:21:55,200
related to General City business

213
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,539
I have five people who are signed up to

214
00:21:57,539 --> 00:21:59,750
speak

215
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:06,350
first person is Ed Levin Jr

216
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:08,100
good evening Mr Mayor chairwoman

217
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:10,380
Porterfield and City Council Members I

218
00:22:10,380 --> 00:22:12,059
filed an Ethics complaint against the

219
00:22:12,059 --> 00:22:14,340
three judges mayor and city council

220
00:22:14,340 --> 00:22:16,320
members on May 31st it will be heard

221
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,400
tomorrow

222
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,380
I believe the mayor has everything to do

223
00:22:19,380 --> 00:22:21,900
about my complaint not being published

224
00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:24,000
the mayor knows once my complaint is in

225
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,559
print there must be something done about

226
00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:27,960
these three blatantly corrupt judges and

227
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,820
how small claims court judges do not

228
00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:31,740
follow the rules of court or laws of the

229
00:22:31,740 --> 00:22:33,000
Constitution

230
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,039
whenever they so wish

231
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:37,080
again the mayor is responsible for the

232
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,700
enforcement of the law in Schenectady

233
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:40,620
unless it is his Hatchet Man Carl

234
00:22:40,620 --> 00:22:43,080
falatico breaking the law

235
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,059
listening to and acting on legitimate

236
00:22:45,059 --> 00:22:46,980
complaints by tax paying residents of

237
00:22:46,980 --> 00:22:48,600
Schenectady is also one of the mayor's

238
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,299
duties he refused to meet with me but

239
00:22:51,299 --> 00:22:52,860
heard my complaint at one of these

240
00:22:52,860 --> 00:22:55,020
meetings as did all of you

241
00:22:55,020 --> 00:22:58,020
the mayor Phil Falls far short of his

242
00:22:58,020 --> 00:23:00,120
oath of office to protect and honor the

243
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:01,679
constitution of New York and the United

244
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:03,600
States

245
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,760
the mayor in fact breaks his oath of

246
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,620
office by not acting on my complaint

247
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:09,360
being being deprived of my

248
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:11,220
constitutional rights of due process and

249
00:23:11,220 --> 00:23:12,480
a fair hearing

250
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,980
the mayor

251
00:23:13,980 --> 00:23:16,020
only concern is for covering up for the

252
00:23:16,020 --> 00:23:18,120
laws broken by Frost balotico and

253
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:19,440
Hoffman

254
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,659
Mr Mayor you are the most corrupt mayor

255
00:23:21,659 --> 00:23:23,400
the city has ever seen

256
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,380
you cannot be counted on to discipline

257
00:23:25,380 --> 00:23:27,960
corrupt judges in City Hall and you do

258
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,940
everything in your power to keep me out

259
00:23:29,940 --> 00:23:31,919
of the news so the public is not aware

260
00:23:31,919 --> 00:23:34,020
of these three corrupt judges and her

261
00:23:34,020 --> 00:23:36,419
illegal rulings and judgments

262
00:23:36,419 --> 00:23:37,980
I will be turning your name in for

263
00:23:37,980 --> 00:23:39,480
obstruction of justice to the Department

264
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,640
of Justice and the FBI

265
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,500
nothing to worry about I'm sure they

266
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:45,240
will do nothing the same they have done

267
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,320
for me

268
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,360
I will expose you in these three corrupt

269
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:49,200
judges

270
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,940
I will not be leaving without someone

271
00:23:50,940 --> 00:23:52,740
being held accountable

272
00:23:52,740 --> 00:23:54,539
you are damn sure going to have to deal

273
00:23:54,539 --> 00:23:55,500
with me

274
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:58,080
see you in the next meeting

275
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,460
thank you

276
00:23:59,460 --> 00:24:08,270
Mark and March LaCroix

277
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,159
good evening Council uh I last spoke

278
00:24:11,159 --> 00:24:13,380
here on the 12th and um

279
00:24:13,380 --> 00:24:15,900
uh I I believe that I put everything

280
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:17,640
before everybody what was going on with

281
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,320
the uh housing issue with the

282
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,900
foreclosure on the property and I

283
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:23,880
believe today that you are acting as

284
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,679
honorary judges you're not in the

285
00:24:25,679 --> 00:24:27,480
legislative but you're you're honorary

286
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,220
judges because you

287
00:24:29,220 --> 00:24:31,500
allow things to go on in the city that

288
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:32,580
need to be done

289
00:24:32,580 --> 00:24:35,640
and I asked that on behalf of myself my

290
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,320
mother my family and our future that uh justice is done I've gone

291
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:41,760
through the documents that were given to

292
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,460
me by corporate Council Mr Golden and I

293
00:24:47,460 --> 00:24:49,860
also had a meeting with him uh last uh

294
00:24:49,860 --> 00:24:52,020
two weeks ago on a Tuesday uh in the

295
00:24:52,020 --> 00:24:53,940
morning and he produced a document that

296
00:24:53,940 --> 00:24:56,039
was assigned out for David stating that

297
00:24:56,039 --> 00:24:58,100
a nuisance officer had clearly posted

298
00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:01,380
documentation on our property door of

299
00:25:01,380 --> 00:25:03,720
said of uh about the Foreclosure

300
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,100
proceedings

301
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:05,880
um

302
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,679
when I confronted him about having video

303
00:25:07,679 --> 00:25:10,140
footage to promote otherwise it was

304
00:25:10,140 --> 00:25:12,480
stated by Council it doesn't matter if I

305
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,159
have footage he doesn't have to post at

306
00:25:14,159 --> 00:25:16,140
the property this goes against what is

307
00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:18,059
written in the law New York State real

308
00:25:18,059 --> 00:25:20,940
property law uh one one two five

309
00:25:20,940 --> 00:25:23,280
uh says that the final step is to post

310
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,900
on the property

311
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:27,120
um I also discovered that said affidavit

312
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,760
was not in the packet of legal documents

313
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:35,159
that he had given me stating that the that it was posted on the property

314
00:25:35,159 --> 00:25:37,620
it said everything else but not just not

315
00:25:37,620 --> 00:25:39,659
that and um

316
00:25:39,659 --> 00:25:42,659
I believe that that's unjust because if

317
00:25:42,659 --> 00:25:45,360
you are going to present to a judge uh

318
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,340
Mark Powers had Donald judge Mark powers

319
00:25:47,340 --> 00:25:49,200
that you should have all documentation

320
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,360
there not just have a side documentation

321
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:53,520
that you present to me after I told you

322
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,440
at the city council meeting that I have

323
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,640
footage

324
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,080
um I also have

325
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,140
a police report and also uh I also have

326
00:26:01,140 --> 00:26:03,360
documentation from my cameras and my

327
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:06,120
doorbell camera uh the the dirtboard

328
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:07,860
camera in the last 60 days so that

329
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:09,539
footage is long gone from last November

330
00:26:09,539 --> 00:26:13,020
and my uh I have a police report that's

331
00:26:13,020 --> 00:26:15,480
that my house had been broken into and

332
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,000
they stole the security camera DVR box

333
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,679
along with my television a few other

334
00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:22,260
property I was in there and I found out

335
00:26:22,260 --> 00:26:23,460
it was children who had done it but the

336
00:26:23,460 --> 00:26:25,140
police didn't do anything beyond that

337
00:26:25,140 --> 00:26:26,400
but

338
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,919
I believe in this city I've been here 12

339
00:26:28,919 --> 00:26:31,799
years and I see Billboards all the place

340
00:26:31,799 --> 00:26:33,960
of the new Schenectady now I'm not

341
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,520
asking for any favors I'm asking for

342
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,400
support and support in going through the

343
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,279
law and seeing that helping somebody who

344
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:43,559
is actual resident who's actually a

345
00:26:43,559 --> 00:26:45,419
taxpayer we went and got a huge lump sum

346
00:26:45,419 --> 00:26:49,559
to pay off taxes on properties that we other have as well as well as

347
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:52,799
Wendell and we took it all and gave it

348
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,080
in and paid showing that we are willing

349
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,419
to pay even that on this day as spoke to

350
00:26:57,419 --> 00:26:59,460
Mr Golden we are willing to pay the

351
00:26:59,460 --> 00:27:01,679
taxes owed as long as it's closing

352
00:27:01,679 --> 00:27:02,820
passage was supposed to be on this

353
00:27:02,820 --> 00:27:05,400
Friday but I know that short time now

354
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,039
within two weeks have passed but I just

355
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:10,200

356
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,779
city to make a new a news connectivity

357
00:27:12,779 --> 00:27:15,179
to have new precedent that can help

358
00:27:15,179 --> 00:27:16,919
people who are actually trying who are

359
00:27:16,919 --> 00:27:19,260

something and if it has to go through uh

368
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:41,100
Judiciary uh or legislative ways let's

379
00:28:07,260 --> 00:28:11,340
popular but who else is going to do it

380
00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:12,539

00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:28,620
but I know as a body and as a whole we

387
00:28:28,620 --> 00:28:30,779
could all do better and we need to start

388
00:28:30,779 --> 00:28:32,880
cracking down on this code enforcement

389
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,240
stuff people coming into residential

390
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,679
neighborhoods wanting to run their

391
00:28:37,679 --> 00:28:39,480
business with dump trailers full of

392
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,460
debris parking people turning their

393
00:28:41,460 --> 00:28:44,220
front Lawns into parking lots that's

394
00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:46,260
what breaks down neighborhoods read her

395
00:28:46,260 --> 00:28:48,240
article she was right on she touched on

396
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,440
other things

397
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,960
now

398
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,059
you know I'd love to give that I love

399
00:28:54,059 --> 00:28:56,520
Mark Mahoney he won't call he doesn't

400
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,679
return my calls and I don't blame him

401
00:28:58,679 --> 00:29:00,539
I'm a conservative they're all liberal

402
00:29:00,539 --> 00:29:01,740
Democrats

403
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:04,380
uh John D Augustine I've left out I did

404
00:29:04,380 --> 00:29:06,659
talk to John once miles Reid if you've

405
00:29:06,659 --> 00:29:12,000
never met him he's a who you know that guy is a beaut Kelly Murray Paula

406
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,520
opal I remember her because I had an

407
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,760
opal GT when I was a young guy and and

408
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,919
Michelle Wright I don't remember if I

409
00:29:19,919 --> 00:29:21,840
know Michelle or talked to her

410
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,720
but what I want to address

411
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,520
tonight

412
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,980
is Andrew Waite

413
00:29:28,980 --> 00:29:31,260
Andrew Wade is the new darling of The

414
00:29:31,260 --> 00:29:33,960
Gazette he's had the front page probably

415
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,179
90 some percent of the time since he

416
00:29:36,179 --> 00:29:38,460
came back to Schenectady

417
00:29:38,460 --> 00:29:40,799
and he wrote the last front page that I

418
00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:43,380
read that he wrote he happily announced

419
00:29:43,380 --> 00:29:48,120
how his father came out at 58 years old

420
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,520
and I thought how is that a front page

421
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,399
story why did we need to know all that

422
00:29:53,399 --> 00:29:55,140
personal stuff

423
00:29:55,140 --> 00:29:58,559
and uh he said almost reading between

424
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:01,260
the lines almost gleefully and happily

425
00:30:01,260 --> 00:30:03,480
that his father came out

426
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,399
uh so

427
00:30:05,399 --> 00:30:08,220
I want to challenge Andrew to write

428
00:30:08,220 --> 00:30:11,700
another article follow-up article and

429
00:30:11,700 --> 00:30:15,360
tell the people in graphic terms what

430
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,380
the lgbtq community engages in let these

431
00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:21,600
dopes wake up they think it's just two

432
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,580
people of the same sex I think holding

433
00:30:23,580 --> 00:30:25,980
hands and stealing an innocent kiss

434
00:30:25,980 --> 00:30:28,740
it's a filthy disgusting lifestyle and I

435
00:30:28,740 --> 00:30:30,539
don't like the fact that it's being

436
00:30:30,539 --> 00:30:33,120
shoved down my throat and they even tell

437
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,340
us now we have to celebrate it I'm never

438
00:30:35,340 --> 00:30:37,020
going to celebrate it I know the Lord

439
00:30:37,020 --> 00:30:39,960
and I didn't know the Lord until 82. but

440
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,820
once you know the Lord you know what

441
00:30:41,820 --> 00:30:44,039
you're supposed to be doing and no one's

442
00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:46,559
going to be perfect but you try to go in

443
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:48,240
a positive direction

444
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,000
so that's what I'd like to see Andrew do

445
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,220
let's let's get graphic let's let's

446
00:30:53,220 --> 00:30:55,140
educate the people and one last thing

447
00:30:55,140 --> 00:30:57,960
for you Catholics that'll be going to

448
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,899
church on Sunday ask that priest if you

449
00:31:00,899 --> 00:31:03,299
can even talk to him after the service

450
00:31:03,299 --> 00:31:06,000
if he knows what Sodom and Gomorrah but

451
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,039
the story of Sodom and gomorph he knows

452
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:10,140
about it and then ask him to explain it

453
00:31:10,140 --> 00:31:12,600

good evening Mr Mayor

459
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,220

460
00:31:32,220 --> 00:31:34,559
Moorefield members of the council

461
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,720
for many of you who know me and have

462
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,299
known me for a long time I've said one

463
00:31:39,299 --> 00:31:41,640
thing I said 15 years ago I'm going to

464
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,740
say it today you cannot legislate

465
00:31:43,740 --> 00:31:47,159
morality okay and you know we've tried

466
00:31:47,159 --> 00:31:49,980
doing it from the top on down to City

467
00:31:49,980 --> 00:31:52,679
Hall you cannot do it people are who

468
00:31:52,679 --> 00:31:55,440
they are and that will never change okay

469
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,419
you can come here you can make laws you

470
00:31:57,419 --> 00:32:00,059
can put you know signs out on Street you

471
00:32:00,059 --> 00:32:01,860
could do whatever you can do people are

472
00:32:01,860 --> 00:32:04,500
going to do what they're going to do and

473
00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:06,600
that's basically it I personally don't

474
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,279
like things shoved down my throat I

475
00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:09,899
don't like it you know I tell my

476
00:32:09,899 --> 00:32:12,059
children certain things I grow my church

477
00:32:12,059 --> 00:32:13,740
holding up a certain way and that's how

478
00:32:13,740 --> 00:32:18,179
that goes and that's how it is but I

479
00:32:18,179 --> 00:32:22,200
came to speak about you know certain things

480
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,210
um

481
00:32:26,220 --> 00:32:29,039
I forgot my glasses but uh one thing I

482
00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:30,840
wanted to talk about is

483
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,059
right here in the city you know I I left

484
00:32:33,059 --> 00:32:35,159
my house about six years ago

485
00:32:35,159 --> 00:32:37,679
I ran right over by uh right off

486
00:32:37,679 --> 00:32:40,140
McDonald Avenue my rent's gone up 22

487
00:32:40,140 --> 00:32:43,440
percent the last two years now I know

488
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,480
here when you deal with csca

489
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,980
and you deal with your employees you

490
00:32:46,980 --> 00:32:49,320
don't give them a 22 increase

491
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,220
you know so I want to know how is the

492
00:32:53,220 --> 00:32:55,740
average person that's on social security

493
00:32:55,740 --> 00:32:59,460
or collecting SSDI or SSI I'm going to

494
00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:01,799
pay this type of increase because it's

495
00:33:01,799 --> 00:33:04,320
just totally impossible I said this to

496
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,880
County and now I'm going to say it to

497
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,380
you as legislators

498
00:33:07,380 --> 00:33:10,140
this is just totally you had all these

499
00:33:10,140 --> 00:33:12,299
landlords come up to you and beg they

500
00:33:12,299 --> 00:33:14,640
just cried and whined to you and tell

501
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,500
you I can't stand it when my kids do it

502
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:18,240
and I really can't stand landlords

503
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,720
anymore you know they whine to you and wind you and during

504
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,279
covert oh they weren't getting the rent

505
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:28,799
now all they're doing is charging and charging you I just oh you

506
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:30,419
got to pay 100 100 extra dollar

507
00:33:30,419 --> 00:33:33,299
standards last year 75 dollars more

508
00:33:33,299 --> 00:33:36,659
Sanders how when is it going to end it's

509
00:33:36,659 --> 00:33:37,980
either that or I got to move out of the

510
00:33:37,980 --> 00:33:38,760
state

511
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,519
okay that's just one thing and then

512
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:45,080
another thing just men in general okay

513
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,000
you know just men and I've said this I

514
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,220
tried to get around it a little bit

515
00:33:50,220 --> 00:33:52,200
we're actually being treated like a

516
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,679
second class citizen okay I mean we work

517
00:33:55,679 --> 00:33:57,299
hard

518
00:33:57,299 --> 00:34:00,059
very hard we don't have the actually the

519
00:34:00,059 --> 00:34:02,640
same rights as women anymore

520
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,720
okay I mean you know we're treated

521
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,639
differently women

522
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:10,740
there's 70 percent of all colleges are

523
00:34:10,740 --> 00:34:12,419
filled with women

524
00:34:12,419 --> 00:34:14,339
okay not men

525
00:34:14,339 --> 00:34:16,500
okay I could go on and on and give you

526
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:19,500
statistics okay I spoke to numbers of

527
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:22,919
you about this and you know like you

528
00:34:22,919 --> 00:34:25,080
know this was pride month right smack in

529
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,899
the middle of Father's Day you know

530
00:34:27,899 --> 00:34:30,000
everything was right smack in the middle

531
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,740
of Father's day one day

532
00:34:31,740 --> 00:34:35,460
most uncelebrated holiday of the year

533
00:34:35,460 --> 00:34:39,419
okay and I could go on and I could go on

534
00:34:39,419 --> 00:34:41,159
I'm not going to rant about it because

535
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:43,320
I'm sure you've heard about this but if

536
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,780
it was Mother's Day so help me God you'd

537
00:34:45,780 --> 00:34:47,639
have a lying mother standing up here of

538
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:49,440
what they did for the city and how much

539
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,720
they've done for but how many fathers

540
00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:55,080
have done what how many men and city

541
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,119

00:34:57,119 --> 00:35:00,060
garbage collectors have done things for

543
00:35:00,060 --> 00:35:03,720

547
00:35:10,619 --> 00:35:13,140
May the best person win tomorrow

563
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,560
could email him to get the process going

564
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,079
but it's been about 60 days I'm having

565
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:05,280
people

566
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,320
wanting to come in and shop and I really

567
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,880
it's really detrimental to my business

568
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,000
to get that part of my business open so

569
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,920
I just was looking for some guidance on

570
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,960
what the next step for me to do

571
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,720
to have that processed

572
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:23,569
