this capacity.Ut with half of

623
00:19:32,577 --> 00:19:33,612
our budget going mcps, we

624
00:19:33,612 --> 00:19:34,447
don't often ar from our young

625
00:19:34,447 --> 00:19:37,447
people. If your t student

626
00:19:38,250 --> 00:19:39,352

627
00:19:39,352 --> 00:19:41,119

befores. It's really hard

631
00:19:47,250 --> 00:19:50,250
have your voiceeard. And so

632
00:19:50,963 --> 00:19:51,664
I vited a few of our ci

633
00:19:51,664 --> 00:19:53,166
councils d one I was on the

634
00:19:53,166 --> 00:19:55,166
city counciln Gaithersburg

635
00:19:55,167 --> 00:19:58,167
during onef our conference is

636
00:19:58,170 --> 00:20:00,105
the National Leaguof

637
00:20:00,105 --> 00:20:02,505
Cities. They have youth

638
00:20:03,740 --> 00:20:04,760
advisory couil and the mayor,

639
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,111
the form mayor of Takoma

640
00:20:05,111 --> 00:20:05,944
Park. They also ve a youth

641
00:20:05,944 --> 00:20:08,681
advisory council, t city of

642
00:20:08,681 --> 00:20:10,681
Greenville hashe youth

643
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:12,617
Advory Council. And so

644
00:20:12,617 --> 00:20:14,786
brought all of the ideas

645
00:20:14,786 --> 00:20:15,788

646
00:20:15,788 --> 00:20:18,188
Advisory cocil modeled after

647
00:20:18,957 --> 00:20:19,392
my policy platformAnd so we

00:20:19,392 --> 00:20:21,392

00:20:22,270 --> 00:20:23,995

807
00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:56,701

>> h my name is Peter.

838
00:25:43,483 --> 00:25:44,483
I'm a juniort Northwest High

839
00:25:44,483 --> 00:25:45,817
hool. Go Jags

840
00:25:45,817 --> 00:25:46,485
and a I had a previous

841
00:25:46,485 --> 00:25:48,186
question relat to

842
00:25:48,186 --> 00:25:50,586
construction, buto not be

843
00:25:52,230 --> 00:25:53,959
repeitive. I also print

844
00:25:53,959 --> 00:25:55,610
another one. Son in

845
00:25:55,610 --> 00:25:55,694
Montgomy County, it's

846
00:25:55,694 --> 00:25:56,394
estimated at schools and

847
00:25:56,394 --> 00:25:59,394
businesses, theyave a lot of

848
00:25:59,398 --> 00:26:01,798
food waste that gto

849
00:26:03,340 --> 00:26:05,710
landfills. Andn it harmful

850
00:26:05,710 --> 00:26:06,705
gases such as meane and on.

851
00:26:06,705 --> 00:26:08,473
i tnk if we can have le

852
00:26:08,473 --> 00:26:10,609
composting syste at schools

853
00:26:10,609 --> 00:26:11,576
and kind of expand at, that

854
00:26:11,576 --> 00:26:13,512
wod definitely number e

855
00:26:13,512 --> 00:26:15,347
reduce fd waste, but also

856
00:26:15,347 --> 00:26:16,480
redu our on greenhouse g

857
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,448
emisons. For example, the

858
00:26:20,850 --> 00:26:21,353
was a mposting program setp

859
00:26:21,353 --> 00:26:23,753
Clarksrg Elementary and no

860
00:26:24,424 --> 00:26:26,570
they actually detearound 2000

861
00:26:26,570 --> 00:26:26,692
pounds ofood waste each

862
00:26:26,692 --> 00:26:29,920
nth. And the probleis

863
00:26:29,361 --> 00:26:31,761
Montgory County doesn't ha

864
00:26:32,297 --> 00:26:33,166
composting facility d the

865
00:26:33,166 --> 00:26:36,766
ly one nearby is in ince

866
00:26:37,690 --> 00:26:38,300
George's. So was wondering,

867
00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:39,805
question is with t county

868
00:26:39,805 --> 00:26:40,473
council binterested in

869
00:26:40,473 --> 00:26:42,174
setting up composting

870
00:26:42,174 --> 00:26:43,410
facility here iMontgomery

871
00:26:43,410 --> 00:26:46,410
Coty. So we can expand

872
00:26:46,913 --> 00:26:47,646
programs to al schools and

873
00:26:47,646 --> 00:26:49,213
busesses and so, yeah, at's

874
00:26:49,213 --> 00:26:49,881
a qution. The short answ is

875
00:26:49,881 --> 00:26:51,217
yes, absolutely. Butet me

876
00:26:51,217 --> 00:26:54,520
tun to the chair of th

877
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,520
environmt of Transportation.

878
00:26:56,188 --> 00:26:57,289
>> Committee to pound upon

879
00:26:57,289 --> 00:26:59,124
further. Peter, the swer is

880
00:26:59,124 --> 00:27:00,393
yes. And so everyby knows.

881
00:27:00,393 --> 00:27:01,126
So we've been doing lot of

882
00:27:01,126 --> 00:27:04,126
work hereo reduce food wast

883
00:27:06,698 --> 00:27:09,980
believeit or not, there's

884
00:27:09,868 --> 00:27:10,735
about 00 and 76 1000 to of

885
00:27:10,735 --> 00:27:11,903
food that is sted right here

886
00:27:11,903 --> 00:27:13,372

00:27:13,372 --> 00:27:15,373
ti you don't like yourunch

888
00:27:15,373 --> 00:27:17,242
atchool, be mindful of

889
00:27:17,242 --> 00:27:18,900
putting it in e trash because

890
00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:20,846
that doesn go where we thin

891
00:27:20,846 --> 00:27:23,883
it goesIt needs to be com

892
00:27:23,883 --> 00:27:24,916

893
00:27:24,916 --> 00:27:27,916
a shortageWe don't have a

894
00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:28,854

895
00:27:28,854 --> 00:27:31,854
homes in ntgomery County in

896
00:27:32,792 --> 00:27:33,859

But we jusneed a place to put

906
00:27:50,642 --> 00:27:51,778
it. And s Peter noted right

907
00:27:51,778 --> 00:27:52,444
now, the coosting we take the

908
00:27:52,444 --> 00:27:54,347

00:27:54,347 --> 00:27:56,347

00:27:56,482 --> 00:27:58,550
this counc in the county

911
00:27:58,550 --> 00:28:00,950

any answer iyes. And I think

1253
00:38:50,235 --> 00:38:50,936
there are aot of there are

1254
00:38:50,936 --> 00:38:52,370
some miscceptions out there

1255
00:38:52,370 --> 00:38:54,506
about what rtorative justice

1256
00:38:54,506 --> 00:38:55,941
means and whait includes when

1257
00:38:55,941 --> 00:38:57,941
implemented. Withidelity.

1258
00:38:59,544 --> 00:39:00,112
It is holistic. It es not

1259
00:39:00,112 --> 00:39:03,112
men an absence of a

1260
00:39:03,448 --> 00:39:04,383
accountabily or consequence

1261
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:07,220
as need. And that includes

1262
00:39:07,220 --> 00:39:07,853
lot of pre work and mmunity

1263
00:39:07,853 --> 00:39:10,122
builng work and also has

1264
00:39:10,122 --> 00:39:11,223
benefits f mental health and

1265
00:39:11,223 --> 00:39:11,957
commuty building on the

grounbetween different grps

1267
00:39:13,793 --> 00:39:15,560
of stents who might not

1268
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:16,294
normal interact. It's abt

1269
00:39:16,294 --> 00:39:19,970
buildi a community that I

1270
00:39:19,970 --> 00:39:19,799
a safe ace where folks can

1271
00:39:19,799 --> 00:39:21,600
can talk to each her, learn

1272
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,835
how to resolve probls and

1273
00:39:23,835 --> 00:39:24,736
onflicts in a healthway.

1274
00:39:24,736 --> 00:39:25,470
And as part of thatagain,

1275
00:39:25,470 --> 00:39:27,273
when implented with Fidelity,

1276
00:39:27,273 --> 00:39:30,273
which of crse, takes funding

1277
00:39:31,143 --> 00:39:32,430
in that brin in the budget

1278
00:39:32,430 --> 00:39:32,745
nversation again. B it

1279
00:39:32,745 --> 00:39:34,646
includes alof that. It also

1280
00:39:34,646 --> 00:39:36,982
includes that hen there is an

1281
00:39:36,982 --> 00:39:38,850
incidenthat requires a

1282
00:39:38,850 --> 00:39:39,618
reonse. The response inot

1283
00:39:39,618 --> 00:39:40,653
mply well, your suended or

1284
00:39:40,653 --> 00:39:43,653
expelled or this is atever

1285
00:39:44,156 --> 00:39:44,723
t consequences. It's 's a,

1286
00:39:44,723 --> 00:39:46,723
you know, inntional

1287
00:39:47,826 --> 00:39:49,896
nversations to get the

1288
00:39:49,896 --> 00:39:51,396
root of the sues, to work,

1289
00:39:51,396 --> 00:39:53,499
to prevent that frohappening

1290
00:39:53,499 --> 00:39:55,201
again. And what wsee in the

1291
00:39:55,201 --> 00:39:57,202
reults, whether it is th

1292
00:39:57,202 --> 00:39:59,700
youth, u know, very, very

1293
00:39:59,700 --> 00:40:01,973
ung kids up throuh our young

1294
00:40:01,973 --> 00:40:04,973
adults. We see thathen that

1295
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:05,644
rocess is used, th that the

1296
00:40:05,644 --> 00:40:07,145
behavior is lessikely to

1297
00:40:07,145 --> 00:40:09,147
cur. And there's a l of

1298
00:40:09,147 --> 00:40:11,216
really clear data abt that.

1299
00:40:11,216 --> 00:40:12,350
So absutely very supporte

1300
00:40:12,350 --> 00:40:13,186
of that and alwaysoing to be

1301
00:40:13,186 --> 00:40:15,854
looking to eand that. This is

1302
00:40:15,854 --> 00:40:16,455
a conversaon that is going t

1303
00:40:16,455 --> 00:40:18,855
comeack in the budget

1304
00:40:19,791 --> 00:40:21,600
process, whh again, as we

1305
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:22,994
know isoing to be a difficu

1306
00:40:22,994 --> 00:40:23,628
ne. But there are a t of

1307
00:40:23,628 --> 00:40:24,330
benefits to theesort of

1308
00:40:24,330 --> 00:40:25,630
esses programs. I apeciate

1309
00:40:25,630 --> 00:40:27,463

1359
00:41:52,150 --> 00:41:53,885
then e operating sideof the

1360
00:41:53,885 --> 00:41:55,287
budget to fund prrams like

1361
00:41:55,287 --> 00:41:56,154
thone you asked abouthat

1362
00:41:56,154 --> 00:41:57,689
happed in a few months

1363
00:41:57,689 --> 00:41:59,624
starting in MARCH ofext year.

1364
00:41:59,624 --> 00:42:02,427
You know, in eay next year

1365
00:42:02,427 --> 00:42:06,270
and culmite in MAY. So the

1366
00:42:07,660 --> 00:42:08,166
first advocacy pot is too

1367
00:42:08,166 --> 00:42:09,167
theoard of Education an

1368
00:42:09,167 --> 00:42:11,167
Supentendent Taylor to

1369
00:42:11,170 --> 00:42:12,404
include ograms like that and

1370
00:42:12,404 --> 00:42:14,207
u're funding. Then ty vote

1371
00:42:14,207 --> 00:42:15,173
on it and senit to us.

1372
00:42:15,173 --> 00:42:16,141
Now, I will says the chair of

1373
00:42:16,141 --> 00:42:16,875
t Education Committeei

1374
00:42:16,875 --> 00:42:17,676
think Ipeak for probably wi

1375
00:42:17,676 --> 00:42:19,676
join myolleagues. There's

1376
00:42:21,746 --> 00:42:22,681
lot ofhings we want to

1377
00:42:22,681 --> 00:42:23,415
suprt and things that

1378
00:42:23,415 --> 00:42:25,815
connects youo workforce in

1379
00:42:26,518 --> 00:42:27,220
job opportunies aren't high

1380
00:42:27,220 --> 00:42:30,455
on tt list. And so that'a

1381
00:42:30,455 --> 00:42:31,457
greatrogram. Einstein's a

1382
00:42:31,457 --> 00:42:32,425
great schl and funding those

1383
00:42:32,425 --> 00:42:33,593
types of progra is a

1384
00:42:33,593 --> 00:42:35,495
prrity. But obviously,hen

1385
00:42:35,495 --> 00:42:37,429
you're looking at t whole

1386
00:42:37,429 --> 00:42:38,960

1524
00:46:49,810 --> 00:46:49,782
hat question. So my e of

1525
00:46:49,782 --> 00:46:51,684
my prior roles thathe state

1526
00:46:51,684 --> 00:46:54,840
was I was counseledhe

1527
00:46:54,319 --> 00:46:55,540
Maryland Center r School

1528
00:46:55,540 --> 00:46:58,540
Safety and d these issues

1529
00:46:58,123 --> 00:47:00,523
continue torow over time.

1530
00:47:02,928 --> 00:47:04,563
A and a lot of tying that

1531
00:47:04,563 --> 00:47:05,330
t hardest thing I thi is

1532
00:47:05,330 --> 00:47:07,730
that they don'always come

1533
00:47:08,201 --> 00:47:09,267
face-to-faceMajority of them

1534
00:47:09,267 --> 00:47:11,169
are coming onli and they come

1535
00:47:11,169 --> 00:47:11,870
when you're not eecting it.

1536
00:47:11,870 --> 00:47:13,380
So you're juswalking around

1537
00:47:13,380 --> 00:47:16,141
your phone and tn all of a

1538
00:47:16,141 --> 00:47:19,741
sudden a thg has popped up

1539
00:47:20,745 --> 00:47:21,613
ayou.

1540
00:47:21,613 --> 00:47:23,582
And and I tnk that using the

1541
00:47:23,582 --> 00:47:24,282
resrces that we have to

1542
00:47:24,282 --> 00:47:25,417
report those not jt waiting

1543
00:47:25,417 --> 00:47:26,850
till the next day, cause

1544
00:47:26,850 --> 00:47:29,850
that's often a harthing to

1545
00:47:29,889 --> 00:47:31,123
o. And sometimes it els

1546
00:47:31,123 --> 00:47:35,940
better to be le to to get

1547
00:47:35,940 --> 00:47:35,827
that t when it happens wh

1548
00:47:35,827 --> 00:47:39,427
when the ment hits. So using

1549
00:47:39,842 --> 00:47:41,800
the Safechools, Maryland tip

1550
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,690
line to put

1551
00:47:43,690 --> 00:47:43,735
thatn and then those tipgo

1552
00:47:43,735 --> 00:47:46,400
directly to theenter for

1553
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,404
school safety. Buthey also

1554
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:50,410
go to the schoolhere you

1555
00:47:50,410 --> 00:47:50,709
attend anyou're able to

1556
00:47:50,709 --> 00:47:53,110
provide that infmation and

1557
00:47:53,110 --> 00:47:55,130
then the school can lp

1558
00:47:55,130 --> 00:47:57,150
address that t next day.

1559
00:47:57,150 --> 00:47:57,683
The's also the forum itlf

1560
00:47:57,683 --> 00:47:58,350
that can be solout at the

1561
00:47:58,350 --> 00:48:00,285
school. But again, aot of

1562
00:48:00,285 --> 00:48:02,320
tse things happen wheyou're

1563
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:03,156
not actually physally in

1564
00:48:03,156 --> 00:48:05,891
schoo, but it impactsow you

1565
00:48:05,891 --> 00:48:08,860
el about going to scol and

1566
00:48:08,860 --> 00:48:11,763
it's impacti how you are

1567
00:48:11,763 --> 00:48:12,432
receivi your education.

1568
00:48:12,432 --> 00:48:15,467
And so and think that by

1569
00:48:15,467 --> 00:48:17,470
using that andmaking sure

1570
00:48:17,470 --> 00:48:19,470
we're alws

1571
00:48:20,405 --> 00:48:21,239
porting it and helpto

1572
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:22,240
ghlight the ongog or

1573
00:48:22,240 --> 00:48:24,142
chronic meter othings in

1574
00:48:24,142 --> 00:48:25,144
rticular places or aces or

1575
00:48:25,144 --> 00:48:25,977
about particular tics.

1576
00:48:25,977 --> 00:48:27,977
Rit? Because sometimesome

1577
00:48:28,814 --> 00:48:31,814
things happening t in the

1578
00:48:31,951 --> 00:48:34,951
wod. But then it makeseople

1579
00:48:34,987 --> 00:48:36,822
get targeteat school because

1580
00:48:36,822 --> 00:48:39,892

00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:41,258

to have convertions about

1669
00:51:25,490 --> 00:51:27,526
that on theouncil side in

1670
00:51:27,526 --> 00:51:28,628
order to make su that there

1671
00:51:28,628 --> 00:51:29,261

a half. They wernot

1808
00:56:13,578 --> 00:56:14,446

1809
00:56:14,446 --> 00:56:15,180

1944
01:00:48,487 --> 01:00:51,487
The council is gppling with

1945
01:00:53,192 --> 01:00:55,293
the challenge thawe have in

1946
01:00:55,293 --> 01:00:57,263
ntgomery County withousing.

1947
01:00:57,263 --> 01:00:59,331
We havtaken more efforts or

1948
01:00:59,331 --> 01:01:00,699
the last 6 years. Ts last

1949
01:01:00,699 --> 01:01:01,533
councion this current counl

1950
01:01:01,533 --> 01:01:02,201
than any oth 6 year period in

1951
01:01:02,201 --> 01:01:05,201
histor We're very proud of

1952
01:01:05,403 --> 01:01:06,139
some of th work that we've

1953
01:01:06,139 --> 01:01:09,739
been able to. But we also

1954
01:01:10,542 --> 01:01:12,578
recognize that ere's so much

1955
01:01:12,578 --> 01:01:14,547
more left to beone and it is

1956
01:01:14,547 --> 01:01:15,280
a hu moral challenge fors.

1957
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,582
It's a huge econoc challenge

1958
01:01:17,582 --> 01:01:18,317
for us. We know tt businesses

1959
01:01:18,317 --> 01:01:19,151
can't locathere because their

1960
01:01:19,151 --> 01:01:22,151
employees cat afford to live

1961
01:01:22,354 --> 01:01:23,121

01:01:27,759 --> 01:01:28,861
they can't aord to live

1965
01:01:28,861 --> 01:01:29,495
because they're sseverely

1966
01:01:29,495 --> 01:01:31,895
rent You know, thayoung

1967
01:01:32,597 --> 01:01:33,298
pple are choosing to ve in

1968
01:01:33,298 --> 01:01:35,600

01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,436
other parts of e country

1970
01:01:37,436 --> 01:01:40,372
because how expensive it is

1971
01:01:40,372 --> 01:01:41,106

1972
01:01:41,106 --> 01:01:43,742

enough at the stateevel.

2001
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,594

01:03:53,305 --> 01:03:56,274
just. And I know that the

2045
01:03:56,274 --> 01:03:56,808
are a t of families that a

2046
01:03:56,808 --> 01:03:58,808
struling as well.

2047
01:03:59,946 --> 01:04:03,546
We had a conversion just in

2048
01:04:04,349 --> 01:04:06,749
thisoom earlier today whe

2049
01:04:07,386 --> 01:04:09,188
wasrought up that the arage

2050
01:04:09,188 --> 01:04:09,821
price of a home, a ngle

2051
01:04:09,821 --> 01:04:12,221
mily home in Montgomy

2052
01:04:12,558 --> 01:04:15,260
Countis now over a millio

2053
01:04:15,260 --> 01:04:17,660
dollars to buy it.

2054
01:04:19,598 --> 01:04:22,801
That's a t of money. And it's

2055
01:04:22,801 --> 01:04:23,936
hard for adultour age to buy

2056
01:04:23,936 --> 01:04:25,837
a home that much.

2057
01:04:25,837 --> 01:04:26,938
And it's a lot ofoney also

2058
01:04:26,938 --> 01:04:28,607
for parents toay rent and pay

2059
01:04:28,607 --> 01:04:29,307

an apartmentSome of these

2064
01:04:36,449 --> 01:04:37,916
issues are noeasy, but we

2065
01:04:37,916 --> 01:04:38,584
are doing the hrd work to try

2066
01:04:38,584 --> 01:04:40,853
to figure it outecause we

2067
01:04:40,853 --> 01:04:43,755

>> Thank you souch. You found

2085
01:05:13,684 --> 01:05:16,684
the most complited issue that

2086
01:05:17,656 --> 01:05:19,424
we de with is that and th

2087
01:05:19,424 --> 01:05:20,325
cost of hsing and how we can

2088
01:05:20,325 --> 01:05:21,260
make sure thatveryone that

2089
01:05:21,260 --> 01:05:24,860
the ople who were here c

2090
01:05:26,231 --> 01:05:27,265
stay here. Ourorkforce, our

2091
01:05:27,265 --> 01:05:30,265
yng people can affordo buy

2092
01:05:31,369 --> 01:05:32,237
homesSo for those of you o

2093
01:05:32,237 --> 01:05:33,305
hae started in economi, one

2094
01:05:33,305 --> 01:05:34,390
of the first this that we

2095
01:05:34,390 --> 01:05:37,310
learned in economs is the law

2096
01:05:37,310 --> 01:05:38,410
of supply and demd. So one

2097
01:05:38,410 --> 01:05:39,411
of the things that t reason

2098
01:05:39,411 --> 01:05:41,780
that housing is so hh costs

2099
01:05:41,780 --> 01:05:45,150
are high is because we st

2100
01:05:45,150 --> 01:05:45,784
don't have enou housing.

2101
01:05:45,784 --> 01:05:48,784
So we need create more

2102
01:05:48,854 --> 01:05:51,224
housing of all kin market

2103
01:05:51,224 --> 01:05:51,924
rate housi. So that's one

2104
01:05:51,924 --> 01:05:53,760
the things this as uncil

2105
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:55,728
prident said, we are ting

2106
01:05:55,728 --> 01:05:57,662
toreate more housingbut

2107
01:05:57,662 --> 01:06:00,565
then we also neeto look at

2108
01:06:00,565 --> 01:06:01,266
housing tt specifically

2109
01:06:01,266 --> 01:06:02,435
affordable f those people in

2110
01:06:02,435 --> 01:06:06,350
our community o MAY not be

2111
01:06:08,406 --> 01:06:09,241
able tofford market rate.

2112
01:06:09,241 --> 01:06:11,641
Ando we're again, we'reoing

2113
01:06:12,110 --> 01:06:12,711
a lot of different ings.

2114
01:06:12,711 --> 01:06:15,711
1,ne example is we jus

2115
01:06:16,148 --> 01:06:19,148
passed law where every time

2116
01:06:19,217 --> 01:06:20,510
thcounty build a buildg

2117
01:06:20,510 --> 01:06:22,154
like a libraryr rec center.

2118
01:06:22,154 --> 01:06:25,754
We lookt that building to s

2119
01:06:26,570 --> 01:06:28,227
if we can put aordable units

2120
01:06:28,227 --> 01:06:29,828
onthat land. Land is t one

2121
01:06:29,828 --> 01:06:31,931
of t biggest reasons whyur

2122
01:06:31,931 --> 01:06:34,931
housing at cost souch is

2123
01:06:35,330 --> 01:06:36,536
beuse our land is s

2124
01:06:36,536 --> 01:06:37,269
valuable. So ithe county can

2125
01:06:37,269 --> 01:06:39,669
participate d providing the

2126
01:06:43,241 --> 01:06:43,876
land for creing these houses,

2127
01:06:43,876 --> 01:06:46,876
so soe have many, many,

2128
01:06:47,130 --> 01:06:50,130
initiatives.Nd those are just

2129
01:06:50,810 --> 01:06:53,285
few of them. But wenow that

2130
01:06:53,285 --> 01:06:55,654
our economy, our ouworkforce,

2131
01:06:55,654 --> 01:06:58,691
is it going to survi unless

2132
01:06:58,691 --> 01:06:59,525
we can ke

2133
01:06:59,525 --> 01:07:00,525
surthat. And when you g

2134
01:07:00,525 --> 01:07:03,525
graduate from high sool, when

2135
01:07:03,695 --> 01:07:04,663
you t a job when you're ady

2136
01:07:04,663 --> 01:07:06,566
to buy a hoe, you can do it

2137
01:07:06,566 --> 01:07:07,233
in Montgomery CountySo we're

2138
01:07:07,233 --> 01:07:08,567

2609
01:22:56,250 --> 01:22:56,610
