769
00:30:52,567 --> 00:30:55,499
voting on two major landis

770
00:30:54,567 --> 00:30:57,132
items in my district as well

771
00:30:55,501 --> 00:30:58,665
as an important piece of

772
00:30:57,134 --> 00:31:00,799
legislation to codify the new

773
00:30:58,667 --> 00:31:01,599
york city's cooling centers

774
00:31:00,801 --> 00:31:03,631
program first. I'm thrilled.

775
00:31:01,601 --> 00:31:05,065
that will be voting on midtown

776
00:31:03,633 --> 00:31:05,932
south mixed use rezoning. The

777
00:31:05,067 --> 00:31:07,265
plan is a reflection of a

778
00:31:05,934 --> 00:31:08,131
simple truth that we don't

779
00:31:07,267 --> 00:31:10,732
have enough housing here in

780
00:31:08,133 --> 00:31:11,665
new york city, and because of

781
00:31:10,734 --> 00:31:12,998
that prints have been

782
00:31:11,667 --> 00:31:13,932
skyrocketing, especially in

783
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,698
manhattan. The plan would

784
00:31:13,934 --> 00:31:18,198
create over 95 new hundred new

785
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:18,998
units of housing through

786
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,865
office conversions and new

787
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:24,031
development, including more

788
00:31:19,867 --> 00:31:24,865
than 2800 permanently

789
00:31:24,033 --> 00:31:25,465
affordable homes. This is one

790
00:31:24,867 --> 00:31:26,998
of the largest rezoning is

791
00:31:25,467 --> 00:31:27,865
that we have done in this city

792
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,365
for housing in decades. The

793
00:31:27,867 --> 00:31:30,632
plan also supports local

794
00:31:29,367 --> 00:31:32,565
schools, streets, parks and a

795
00:31:30,634 --> 00:31:35,899
brand new cross town bus way

796
00:31:32,567 --> 00:31:36,765
dedicated bus way on 34 sheep.

797
00:31:35,901 --> 00:31:37,499
I'm appreciative of all the

798
00:31:36,767 --> 00:31:38,431
people who came together to

799
00:31:37,501 --> 00:31:39,365
make this happen? I want to

800
00:31:38,433 --> 00:31:40,298
give a shout out to my

801
00:31:39,367 --> 00:31:41,698
colleague erik bottcher new

802
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:42,565
york city planning

803
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:43,965
commissioner dan garodnick

804
00:31:42,567 --> 00:31:47,631
bannon franklin from my staff

805
00:31:43,967 --> 00:31:48,632
to land used to here and so

806
00:31:47,633 --> 00:31:49,899
many more, second after many

807
00:31:48,634 --> 00:31:50,831
years of negotiations, I think

808
00:31:49,901 --> 00:31:52,299
six years of negotiations.

809
00:31:50,833 --> 00:31:53,365
we're voting on a plan to

810
00:31:52,301 --> 00:31:55,798
modernize lenox hill hospital

811
00:31:53,367 --> 00:31:57,265
on the upper east side after

812
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,432
beth israel's recent closure,

813
00:31:57,267 --> 00:32:00,431
I believe it's strong,

814
00:31:58,434 --> 00:32:01,965
strongly we can't risk losing

815
00:32:00,433 --> 00:32:04,999
another hospital, the lenox

816
00:32:01,967 --> 00:32:06,532
hill hospital treats 144000

817
00:32:05,001 --> 00:32:07,665
patients a year employees 5000

818
00:32:06,534 --> 00:32:10,732
health care workers and serves

819
00:32:07,667 --> 00:32:11,532
new yorkers from all boroughs,

820
00:32:10,734 --> 00:32:12,599
the renovation will expand

821
00:32:11,534 --> 00:32:13,865
emergency department operate

822
00:32:12,601 --> 00:32:14,465
the operating rooms upgrade

823
00:32:13,867 --> 00:32:15,931
the operating with and

824
00:32:14,467 --> 00:32:17,465
converted patient rooms to

825
00:32:15,933 --> 00:32:19,565
single occupancy offering

826
00:32:17,467 --> 00:32:20,932
patients more privacy and

827
00:32:19,567 --> 00:32:23,031
reducing infection. This

828
00:32:20,934 --> 00:32:24,732
project years ago at a scale

829
00:32:23,033 --> 00:32:25,665
that we objected to, but

830
00:32:24,734 --> 00:32:27,598
haven't worked over the last

831
00:32:25,667 --> 00:32:28,398
years to get it to a better

832
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,265
place to deliver more

833
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,399
excellent health care at the

834
00:32:29,267 --> 00:32:33,198
same time without cutting any

835
00:32:32,401 --> 00:32:36,065
beds. We brought the height,

836
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,499
down from 516 feet to 370 feet

837
00:32:36,067 --> 00:32:39,165
reduce a time line by

838
00:32:37,501 --> 00:32:40,699
construction timeline by three

839
00:32:39,167 --> 00:32:44,232
years. We have a new subway

840
00:32:40,701 --> 00:32:45,032
station coming on site and

841
00:32:44,234 --> 00:32:46,731
another subway investment

842
00:32:45,034 --> 00:32:49,698
coming across the street and

843
00:32:46,733 --> 00:32:50,632
$7.5 million of community

844
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:51,432
benefits. How about I thank

845
00:32:50,634 --> 00:32:52,232
all the advocates in the

846
00:32:51,434 --> 00:32:52,965
community to help who have

847
00:32:52,234 --> 00:32:54,032
worked with us to improve the

848
00:32:52,967 --> 00:32:55,631
plan to commit aboard eight to

849
00:32:54,034 --> 00:32:57,032
caroline in bed for my staff

850
00:32:55,633 --> 00:32:58,498
and all those who work on this

851
00:32:57,034 --> 00:32:59,432
for the over the years and

852
00:32:58,500 --> 00:33:00,699
just finally, I want to

853
00:32:59,434 --> 00:33:02,865

854
00:33:00,701 --> 00:33:04,032
bill today to codify the

855
00:33:02,867 --> 00:33:05,832
city's cooling centers program

856
00:33:04,034 --> 00:33:09,231
, which can be a life saving

857
00:33:05,834 --> 00:33:10,698
resource during months like

858
00:33:09,233 --> 00:33:11,499
very year, about 580 new

859
00:33:10,700 --> 00:33:12,698
yorkers died prematurely

860
00:33:11,501 --> 00:33:13,899
because of hot weather we know

861
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:15,899
the summers are getting hotter

862
00:33:13,901 --> 00:33:17,298
and this is a way to keep

863
00:33:15,901 --> 00:33:18,832
people safe. I want to thank.

864
00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:20,965

00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:25,432
earlier of it. I also want to

878
00:33:39,901 --> 00:33:43,765
everyone I'm want to thank

881
00:33:45,767 --> 00:33:47,698
thank you, speaker atoms for

after years of carrying the

885
00:33:51,634 --> 00:33:53,765
bills will, speaking about.

886
00:33:52,567 --> 00:33:55,032
it's a with a lot of pride

887
00:33:53,767 --> 00:33:56,565
that I see them finally

888
00:33:55,034 --> 00:33:58,165
brought to a vote from the

889
00:33:56,567 --> 00:33:59,298
city council in a city with

890
00:33:58,167 --> 00:34:02,098
the diversity that we have. I

891
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:05,299
believe that inch of 68 and in

892
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:05,965
hundred 29 have been long past

893
00:34:05,301 --> 00:34:06,831
due interest is to be able to

894
00:34:05,967 --> 00:34:09,432
require science should post a

895
00:34:06,833 --> 00:34:10,299
detail on a hospital services

896
00:34:09,434 --> 00:34:11,631
for trends and individuals and

897
00:34:10,301 --> 00:34:12,498
point to note it doesn't

898
00:34:11,633 --> 00:34:13,699
require any particular type of

899
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:16,832
service that makes it clear

900
00:34:13,701 --> 00:34:18,232
what services are available

901
00:34:16,834 --> 00:34:19,098
additionally, inches 6 29

902
00:34:18,234 --> 00:34:20,298
would require the department

903
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:21,832
of health and mental hygiene

904
00:34:20,300 --> 00:34:22,765
to report annually on training

905
00:34:21,834 --> 00:34:24,965
provided by hospitals

906
00:34:22,767 --> 00:34:25,499
regarding medical care for

907
00:34:24,967 --> 00:34:27,098
transgender individuals,

908
00:34:25,501 --> 00:34:28,099
nurses and physicians receive

909
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:29,099
minimal training on providing

910
00:34:28,101 --> 00:34:32,632
company care on transgender

911
00:34:29,101 --> 00:34:33,565
and gender nonconforming

912
00:34:32,634 --> 00:34:34,499
individuals with some medical

913
00:34:33,567 --> 00:34:37,898
schools, reportedly allocating

914
00:34:34,501 --> 00:34:38,765
a median of five hours

915
00:34:37,900 --> 00:34:41,032
curriculum as a result, many

916
00:34:38,767 --> 00:34:42,232
of the tea community have

917
00:34:41,034 --> 00:34:43,032
reported negative experiences

918
00:34:42,234 --> 00:34:45,531
and face discrimination when

919
00:34:43,034 --> 00:34:46,431
interacting with the health

920
00:34:45,533 --> 00:34:47,432
care system, leading many to

921
00:34:46,433 --> 00:34:47,765
avoid hospitals, including all

922
00:34:47,434 --> 00:34:49,232
together.

923
00:34:47,767 --> 00:34:50,698
>>now more than ever, I hope

924
00:34:49,234 --> 00:34:52,365
everyone sees how

925
00:34:50,700 --> 00:34:53,765
interconnected our ability to

926
00:34:52,367 --> 00:34:55,365
get resources and our

927
00:34:53,767 --> 00:34:57,032
connectivity to actually have

928
00:34:55,367 --> 00:34:58,065
equity and justice is really

929
00:34:57,034 --> 00:35:00,165
connected, I believe it's

930
00:34:58,067 --> 00:35:03,032
important to see support to

931
00:35:00,167 --> 00:35:03,432
support, particularly plus

932
00:35:03,034 --> 00:35:04,365

933
00:35:03,434 --> 00:35:05,299
>>to stay clearly the resource

934
00:35:04,367 --> 00:35:06,465
and service developed to them

935
00:35:05,301 --> 00:35:08,031
when so many other doors and

936
00:35:06,467 --> 00:35:09,832
avenues are closing another

937
00:35:08,033 --> 00:35:11,665
health care system like many

938
00:35:09,834 --> 00:35:14,232
other civic and social facing

939
00:35:11,667 --> 00:35:15,032
a lot of uncertainty and other

administration, particularly

941
00:35:15,034 --> 00:35:17,832
this administration to help

942
00:35:15,967 --> 00:35:18,698
see the importance of local

943
00:35:17,834 --> 00:35:20,232
government. I also just want

944
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:22,365
to make sure I always point

945
00:35:20,234 --> 00:35:23,165
out my own personal journey to

946
00:35:22,367 --> 00:35:26,232
give people permission to join

947
00:35:23,167 --> 00:35:27,032
the journey to make sure we're

948
00:35:26,234 --> 00:35:28,365

as a person of faith 10 years

951
00:35:30,501 --> 00:35:34,132
ago. I likely wouldn't have

952
00:35:32,100 --> 00:35:35,999
been the one sponsoring this

953
00:35:34,134 --> 00:35:38,265
leader. This is a.

00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,598

967
00:35:55,034 --> 00:35:57,965
from my office as well. Let's

968
00:35:57,100 --> 00:36:00,765
get through this together.

969
00:35:57,967 --> 00:36:01,898
thank you so much recognizing

970
00:36:00,767 --> 00:36:03,698

>>boettcher. Thank you very

973
00:36:04,767 --> 00:36:07,165
much I wanted to speak about

974
00:36:06,234 --> 00:36:08,632
the garment center and the

975
00:36:07,167 --> 00:36:10,832
great work that's been going

976
00:36:08,634 --> 00:36:12,298
down in mid town south so as

977
00:36:10,834 --> 00:36:15,832
president, I was the one that

978
00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:16,831
put in money. That's a cole of

979
00:36:15,834 --> 00:36:19,832
25 million over several years

980
00:36:16,833 --> 00:36:20,565
to improve the garment center,

981
00:36:19,834 --> 00:36:21,898
and also we tried to get a

982
00:36:20,567 --> 00:36:23,231
purchase of a building. We

983
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:25,165
were not successful of that

984
00:36:23,233 --> 00:36:28,432
pratt center was very helpful

985
00:36:25,167 --> 00:36:29,432
thanks to councilman boxer and

986
00:36:28,434 --> 00:36:31,499
powers. I know that a lot of

987
00:36:29,434 --> 00:36:33,432
work has gone into this and I

988
00:36:31,501 --> 00:36:34,598
want to be clear on the money,

989
00:36:33,434 --> 00:36:36,965
the good news is I understand

990
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,232
it is that they be an advisory

991
00:36:36,967 --> 00:36:40,565
group comprised of people from

992
00:36:38,234 --> 00:36:41,698
the government makers and from

993
00:36:40,567 --> 00:36:42,831
local electives and community

994
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:45,965
boards to make sure that money

995
00:36:42,833 --> 00:36:46,765
goes in the future.

996
00:36:45,967 --> 00:36:47,931
>>to support the garment

997
00:36:46,767 --> 00:36:49,365
center, not just the programs

998
00:36:47,933 --> 00:36:51,632
that are very unclear. Thank

999
00:36:49,367 --> 00:36:53,131
you very much for that number

1000
00:36:51,634 --> 00:36:55,032
two, I hope that ed will hire

1001
00:36:53,133 --> 00:36:58,232
a staff member to participate

1002
00:36:55,034 --> 00:36:59,265
in this process or oversight,

1003
00:36:58,234 --> 00:37:00,299
and I hope that the new york

1004
00:36:59,267 --> 00:37:01,099
fashion workforce development

1005
00:37:00,301 --> 00:37:03,032
coalition will have

1006
00:37:01,101 --> 00:37:04,465
nominations that are taken

1007
00:37:03,034 --> 00:37:06,065
very seriously and have a say

1008
00:37:04,467 --> 00:37:08,331
in the hiring. I'm very glad

1009
00:37:06,067 --> 00:37:09,365
about the carve out. I know

1010
00:37:08,333 --> 00:37:12,632
that calcium obata worked

1011
00:37:09,367 --> 00:37:13,365
really hard and took a lot of

1012
00:37:12,634 --> 00:37:14,765
crap from people who should

1013
00:37:13,367 --> 00:37:15,965
not have given it to him about

1014
00:37:14,767 --> 00:37:17,565
the car belt. I really, really

1015
00:37:15,967 --> 00:37:20,365
thank them back garment center

1016
00:37:17,567 --> 00:37:21,165
is really important to our

1017
00:37:20,367 --> 00:37:21,832
city. I still hope we can buy

1018
00:37:21,167 --> 00:37:23,365
a building for the garment

1019
00:37:21,834 --> 00:37:25,499
center. I was able to get 20

1020
00:37:23,367 --> 00:37:27,165
million. It was costing 60

1021
00:37:25,501 --> 00:37:30,832
million, probably more. Now

1022
00:37:27,167 --> 00:37:32,965
this garment center has the

1023
00:37:30,834 --> 00:37:34,431
broadway as it's customer, you

1024
00:37:32,967 --> 00:37:36,065
can't go to brooklyn and bronx

1025
00:37:34,433 --> 00:37:37,698
and get a button when there's

1026
00:37:36,067 --> 00:37:40,099
a button breaking admitted in

1027
00:37:37,700 --> 00:37:41,298
the middle of a production.

1028
00:37:40,101 --> 00:37:42,031
>>so and secondly, the

1029
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:45,165
individuals who work they're

1030
00:37:42,033 --> 00:37:45,832
going to pay very well as they

1031
00:37:45,167 --> 00:37:46,465
should, and I just want to

1032
00:37:45,834 --> 00:37:47,465
make sure that thearm gent

1033
00:37:46,467 --> 00:37:49,065
center continues. I know we'll

1034
00:37:47,467 --> 00:37:50,532
have housing, but the garment

1035
00:37:49,067 --> 00:37:53,199
center is first and foremost

1036
00:37:50,534 --> 00:37:54,065
on my list of centers that

1037
00:37:53,201 --> 00:37:55,665
need to be continued. I really

1038
00:37:54,067 --> 00:37:56,598
want to thank everybody,

1039
00:37:55,667 --> 00:37:58,399
particularly those from the

1040
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,198
government center f I t and so

1041
00:37:58,401 --> 00:38:04,165
on who came together. Thank

1042
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:08,099
you very much recognizing

1043
00:38:04,167 --> 00:38:08,831
council member at good. Good.

1044
00:38:08,101 --> 00:38:12,232
afternoon. Today we will

1045
00:38:08,833 --> 00:38:13,098
vote on my bill intro. 1100 a

1046
00:38:12,234 --> 00:38:15,032
simple we powerful change that

1047
00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:16,632
can help break the cycle of

1048
00:38:15,034 --> 00:38:17,565
homelessness and incarceration

1049
00:38:16,634 --> 00:38:20,831
for thousands of new yorkers

1050
00:38:17,567 --> 00:38:21,498
and I'm urging your support

1051
00:38:20,833 --> 00:38:23,099
right now if you're homeless

1052
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:24,832
and censor rikers the time

1053
00:38:23,101 --> 00:38:25,898
doesn't count towards your

1054
00:38:24,834 --> 00:38:29,432
homeless history for

1055
00:38:25,900 --> 00:38:30,431
supportive housing eligibility

1056
00:38:29,434 --> 00:38:31,299
. The clock resets even if you

1057
00:38:30,433 --> 00:38:32,031
were living on the street the

1058
00:38:31,301 --> 00:38:34,865
day before you were detained

1059
00:38:32,033 --> 00:38:35,832
or you have nowhere to go once

1060
00:38:34,867 --> 00:38:37,032
you're released instead of

1061
00:38:35,834 --> 00:38:38,365
getting stable housing and

1062
00:38:37,034 --> 00:38:41,298
care to. Many are pushed back

1063
00:38:38,367 --> 00:38:42,232
into shelters are on the

1064
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:43,165
streets. My bill requires a

1065
00:38:42,234 --> 00:38:44,365
time spent in jails they

1066
00:38:43,167 --> 00:38:45,965
prisons are a court ordered

1067
00:38:44,367 --> 00:38:48,065
mental health facility will

1068
00:38:45,967 --> 00:38:50,232
count toward the homelessness

1069
00:38:48,067 --> 00:38:51,165
history requirement for city

1070
00:38:50,234 --> 00:38:52,365
funded supportive housing. If

1071
00:38:51,167 --> 00:38:55,832
the person was homeless before

1072
00:38:52,367 --> 00:38:56,699
and will likely be homeless

1073
00:38:55,834 --> 00:38:58,299
after release. The facts are

1074
00:38:56,701 --> 00:38:59,698
clear. Homelessness is 10

1075
00:38:58,301 --> 00:39:00,565
times more common among

1076
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:03,432
formerly incarcerated people

1077
00:39:00,567 --> 00:39:04,298
in the general public one

1078
00:39:03,434 --> 00:39:07,298
third of individuals admitted

1079
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:08,865
to new york city jails were

1080
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:10,365
unhappy house before

1081
00:39:08,867 --> 00:39:12,031
incarceration and nearly 70%

1082
00:39:10,367 --> 00:39:13,032
of people on rikers, who could

1083
00:39:12,033 --> 00:39:14,232
benefit from supportive

1084
00:39:13,034 --> 00:39:18,031
housing are shut out because

1085
00:39:14,234 --> 00:39:18,899
of the chronic homelessness

1086
00:39:18,033 --> 00:39:20,499
definition, it costs over

1087
00:39:18,901 --> 00:39:23,231
$500000 a year to incarcerate

1088
00:39:20,501 --> 00:39:26,298
someone but supportive housing

1089
00:39:23,233 --> 00:39:27,231
saves public dollars, and it

1090
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:28,032
changes lives. This bill makes

1091
00:39:27,233 --> 00:39:29,032
sure that when individuals

1092
00:39:28,034 --> 00:39:30,065
leave jail, they can access

1093
00:39:29,034 --> 00:39:31,499
the housing and services they

1094
00:39:30,067 --> 00:39:32,698
need to stabilize instead of

1095
00:39:31,501 --> 00:39:36,465
returning to the conditions

1096
00:39:32,700 --> 00:39:37,365
that led them to jail in the

1097
00:39:36,467 --> 00:39:38,099
first place. I would like to

1098
00:39:37,367 --> 00:39:39,365
thank colleagues from

1099
00:39:38,101 --> 00:39:40,865
supportive housing network of

1100
00:39:39,367 --> 00:39:42,431
new york fortune society and

1101
00:39:40,867 --> 00:39:44,031
all those with lived

1102
00:39:42,433 --> 00:39:44,965

1103
00:39:44,033 --> 00:39:48,632
through the legislative

1104
00:39:44,967 --> 00:39:48,965
process over the last year and

1105
00:39:48,634 --> 00:39:50,831
a half.

1106
00:39:48,967 --> 00:39:54,699

>>! Thank you so much today.

1112
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:05,999
I'd like to speak about

1113
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,465
introduction 1056, which will

1114
00:40:06,001 --> 00:40:09,399
enhance support for support

1115
00:40:07,467 --> 00:40:12,532
services for lgbt plus young

1116

despite serving 915000

1118
00:40:13,934 --> 00:40:15,832
children our city's public

1119
00:40:14,667 --> 00:40:17,098
school system does not

1120
00:40:15,834 --> 00:40:19,032
currently have any requirement

1121
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:20,699
in place to ensure medical

1122
00:40:19,034 --> 00:40:21,832
personnel like school nurses

1123
00:40:20,701 --> 00:40:25,565
or physicians have training in

1124
00:40:21,834 --> 00:40:26,365
the unique needs of lgbt plus

1125
00:40:25,567 --> 00:40:27,865
people when young queer people

1126
00:40:26,367 --> 00:40:28,565
have access to health care

1127
00:40:27,867 --> 00:40:30,032
professionals who understand

1128
00:40:28,567 --> 00:40:31,565
and affirm their identities.

1129
00:40:30,034 --> 00:40:32,631
they are less likely to

1130
00:40:31,567 --> 00:40:33,865
experience severe mental

1131
00:40:32,633 --> 00:40:34,699
health challenges and more

1132
00:40:33,867 --> 00:40:37,165
likely to receive care that

1133
00:40:34,701 --> 00:40:38,432
directly meets their needs in

1134
00:40:37,167 --> 00:40:39,865
256 would require physicians

1135
00:40:38,434 --> 00:40:40,632
and nurses employed by or

1136
00:40:39,867 --> 00:40:41,965
contracted with the department

1137
00:40:40,634 --> 00:40:43,765

1138
00:40:41,967 --> 00:40:47,965

complete an annual lgbt plus

1140

competency training, which

1141
00:40:48,834 --> 00:40:50,765
would focus on health concerns

1142
00:40:49,767 --> 00:40:52,098
for the community like

1143
00:40:50,767 --> 00:40:53,232

1144
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:54,432

01:00:18,001 --> 01:00:19,865
public service. I'll keep

1626
01:00:18,867 --> 01:00:22,599

the second year that he has

1643
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:47,665
been our intern and he has

1644
01:01:45,734 --> 01:01:49,065

institution 249 years ago on

1652
01:02:03,867 --> 01:02:07,732
july 2 776 in a sweltering

1653

chamber in philadelphia, the

members of the second

1655
01:02:08,533 --> 01:02:11,798
continental congress took a

1656
01:02:09,667 --> 01:02:13,898
vote that changed the world

1657
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:16,799
forever on that day, not the

1658
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:18,198
fourth of as so many believe

1659
01:02:16,801 --> 01:02:21,199
the founding fathers declared

1660
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:23,465
that the 13 american colonies

1661
01:02:21,201 --> 01:02:24,465
were henceforth free and

1662
01:02:23,467 --> 01:02:28,399
independent states, they would

1663
01:02:24,467 --> 01:02:29,999
no longer be ruled by the

1664
01:02:28,401 --> 01:02:32,465
british empire, john adams

1665
01:02:30,001 --> 01:02:34,532
himself wrote that july 2

1666
01:02:32,467 --> 01:02:36,932
would be celebrated for

1667
01:02:34,534 --> 01:02:41,065
generations as the great

1668
01:02:36,934 --> 01:02:41,465
anniversary festival of our

1669
01:02:41,067 --> 01:02:43,231
freedom.

1670
01:02:41,467 --> 01:02:44,265
>>yet over time that date

1671
01:02:43,233 --> 01:02:46,198
faded from public memory and

1672
01:02:44,267 --> 01:02:47,599
was eclipsed in our minds by

1673
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,632
the day the declarations.

1674
01:02:47,601 --> 01:02:51,698
final text was approved, which

1675
01:02:48,634 --> 01:02:52,565
is july 4.

1676
01:02:51,700 --> 01:02:54,432
>>but history matters, and it

1677
01:02:52,567 --> 01:02:56,165
is important that future

1678
01:02:54,434 --> 01:02:58,232
generations. Remember that the

1679
01:02:56,167 --> 01:03:01,165
day, the crucial vote in

1680
01:02:58,234 --> 01:03:02,631
american history occurred was

1681
01:03:01,167 --> 01:03:04,298
july 2, that is why I'm

1682
01:03:02,633 --> 01:03:05,699
introducing a resolution to

1683
01:03:04,300 --> 01:03:09,598
designate july 2 as freedom

1684
01:03:05,701 --> 01:03:11,465
day in new york city this new

1685
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,998
day will not replace the

1686
01:03:11,467 --> 01:03:14,465
fourth of but instead it will

1687
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,698
deepen its meaning. It will

1688
01:03:14,467 --> 01:03:17,598
ensure that every new yorker

1689
01:03:16,700 --> 01:03:20,665
knows when our independence

1690
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:22,998
was truly declared and under

1691
01:03:20,667 --> 01:03:25,265
the courage the voters gave

1692
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:27,932
that gave birth to our nation.

brewer.

1702
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,732
>>good afternoon, everybody.

1703
01:03:46,467 --> 01:03:52,165
the bill I'm introducing today

1704
01:03:47,734 --> 01:03:53,365
is in 2962 it seeks to amend

1705
01:03:52,167 --> 01:03:56,765
the administrative code of the

1706
01:03:53,367 --> 01:03:58,698
city of new york by removing

1707
01:03:56,767 --> 01:04:00,965
specific benchmarks related to

1708
01:03:58,700 --> 01:04:02,865
protected bike lanes and

1709
01:04:00,967 --> 01:04:06,498
protected bus slings from the

1710
01:04:02,867 --> 01:04:08,565
city's streets master plan it

1711
01:04:06,500 --> 01:04:10,632
would repeal the formal

1712
01:04:08,567 --> 01:04:14,465
definitions of projected

1713
01:04:10,634 --> 01:04:16,832
bicycle lanes and protected

1714
01:04:14,467 --> 01:04:20,399
and eliminate the quantitative

1715
01:04:16,834 --> 01:04:21,332
targets for installing those

1716
01:04:20,401 --> 01:04:23,665
lanes. However, other elements

1717
01:04:21,334 --> 01:04:26,298
of the master plan such as

1718
01:04:23,667 --> 01:04:29,265
improvements to pedestrian

1719
01:04:26,300 --> 01:04:30,665
infrastructure transit signal

1720
01:04:29,267 --> 01:04:33,332
priority accessible pedestrian

1721
01:04:30,667 --> 01:04:34,199
signals and the intersection

1722
01:04:33,334 --> 01:04:37,231
redesigns would and should

1723
01:04:34,201 --> 01:04:39,132
remain in place. I am not

1724
01:04:37,233 --> 01:04:42,598
opposed bike lanes where bike

1725
01:04:39,134 --> 01:04:44,998
lanes are appropriate, but but

1726
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:47,532
one size fits all master plan

1727
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:49,598
that employ imposes a specific

1728
01:04:47,534 --> 01:04:51,465
amount of bike lanes or

1729
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:55,265
protected bus lanes is just

1730
01:04:51,467 --> 01:04:57,498
the recipe for disaster in

1731
01:04:55,267 --> 01:04:59,032
many cases installing these

1732
01:04:57,500 --> 01:05:00,698
lanes create more dangerous

1733
01:04:59,034 --> 01:05:03,765
conditions for the cyclists,

1734
01:05:00,700 --> 01:05:06,431
pedestrians and drivers the

1735
01:05:03,767 --> 01:05:07,632
intent of this legislation is

1736
01:05:06,433 --> 01:05:11,665
to allow greater flexibility

1737
01:05:07,634 --> 01:05:16,065
and discretion in how the city

1738
01:05:11,667 --> 01:05:17,032
approaches street design and

1739
01:05:16,067 --> 01:05:22,465
transportation planning rather

1740
01:05:17,034 --> 01:05:23,298
than being bound by numerical

1741
01:05:22,467 --> 01:05:26,565
mandated targets. Now more

1742
01:05:23,300 --> 01:05:27,698
than ever. We need to ensure

1743
01:05:26,567 --> 01:05:30,232
that critical projects

1744
01:05:27,700 --> 01:05:33,698
involving street redesign or

1745
01:05:30,234 --> 01:05:35,098
infrastructure are tailored to

1746
01:05:33,700 --> 01:05:37,565
community specific needs and

1747
01:05:35,100 --> 01:05:38,565
our balanced with traffic flow

1748
01:05:37,567 --> 01:05:42,032
neighborhood character and

1749
01:05:38,567 --> 01:05:42,965
overall public safety. That is

1750
01:05:42,034 --> 01:05:45,898
why I'm asking for the support

1751
01:05:42,967 --> 01:05:50,832
of each and every one of you

1752
01:05:45,900 --> 01:05:51,165
for intro 1362. Thank you very

1753
01:05:50,834 --> 01:05:51,965
much.

1757
01:05:55,633 --> 01:05:59,232
colleagues today. I'm proud to

1758
01:05:58,567 --> 01:06:00,898
introduce legislation

1759

alongside my co sponsored

1760
01:06:00,900 --> 01:06:04,765
council member that I believe

1761
01:06:03,100 --> 01:06:06,965
will make our democracy

1762
01:06:04,767 --> 01:06:08,232
stronger and our elections.

1763
01:06:06,967 --> 01:06:09,898
fairer right now as I think a

1764
01:06:08,234 --> 01:06:11,365
lot of you know if you're

1765
01:06:09,900 --> 01:06:13,565
running for mayor, public

1766
01:06:11,367 --> 01:06:14,365
advocate or controller, and

1767
01:06:13,567 --> 01:06:16,965
you matching funds from the

1768
01:06:14,367 --> 01:06:18,765
campaign finance board, you're

1769
01:06:16,967 --> 01:06:20,031
required to participate in a

1770
01:06:18,767 --> 01:06:21,965
that makes sense if taxpayers

1771
01:06:20,033 --> 01:06:23,899
are footing the bill for your

1772
01:06:21,967 --> 01:06:24,699
campaign, you should face the

1773
01:06:23,901 --> 01:06:27,698
public answer questions and

1774
01:06:24,701 --> 01:06:29,565
explain your vision, but

1775
01:06:27,700 --> 01:06:31,665
here's the loophole that rule

1776
01:06:29,567 --> 01:06:32,832
doesn't apply to city council

1777
01:06:31,667 --> 01:06:35,432
or borough president races,

1778
01:06:32,834 --> 01:06:36,298
which means someone can take

1779
01:06:35,434 --> 01:06:37,765
thousands hundreds of

1780
01:06:36,300 --> 01:06:39,965
thousands in public funds and

1781
01:06:37,767 --> 01:06:41,432
never show up for a single

1782
01:06:39,967 --> 01:06:42,965
debate, and I've seen it

1783
01:06:41,434 --> 01:06:44,498
happen firsthand in my special

1784
01:06:42,967 --> 01:06:45,565
election in april 1 of my

1785
01:06:44,500 --> 01:06:46,432
opponents refused to

1786
01:06:45,567 --> 01:06:49,232
participate in any in person

1787
01:06:46,434 --> 01:06:51,498
debates at all this bill

1788
01:06:49,234 --> 01:06:53,165
closes that gap, it says if

1789
01:06:51,500 --> 01:06:55,232
you take public money in a

1790
01:06:53,167 --> 01:06:56,431
council or borough president

1791
01:06:55,234 --> 01:06:58,699
race. You must participate in

1792
01:06:56,433 --> 01:07:00,432
at least one official debate,

1793
01:06:58,701 --> 01:07:02,032
no ducking, no hiding, no

1794
01:07:00,434 --> 01:07:03,565
candidate protection program,

1795
01:07:02,034 --> 01:07:04,299
and I think this is going to

1796
01:07:03,567 --> 01:07:05,832
make a big difference and let

1797
01:07:04,301 --> 01:07:07,165
me say I couldn't ask for a

1798
01:07:05,834 --> 01:07:08,832
better partner to bring this

1799
01:07:07,167 --> 01:07:11,032
forward with an lincoln

1800
01:07:08,834 --> 01:07:12,565
restler. We be the city

1801
01:07:11,034 --> 01:07:14,032
council's bipartisan by

1802
01:07:12,567 --> 01:07:14,899
borough political odd couple

1803
01:07:14,034 --> 01:07:17,832
pretty sure netflix has

1804
01:07:14,901 --> 01:07:19,899
already option the sitcom

1805
01:07:17,834 --> 01:07:22,865
rights, but we both agree

1806
01:07:19,901 --> 01:07:23,832
voters deserve transparency,

1807
01:07:22,867 --> 01:07:25,032
accessibility and respect, so

1808
01:07:23,834 --> 01:07:28,031
hopefully this is just the

1809
01:07:25,034 --> 01:07:28,831
beginning of a new era of

1810
01:07:28,033 --> 01:07:30,765
wrestler moreno collaboration.

1811
01:07:28,833 --> 01:07:32,032
but if a republican from

1812
01:07:30,767 --> 01:07:33,365
staten island the most

1813
01:07:32,034 --> 01:07:34,831
conservative district in the

1814
01:07:33,367 --> 01:07:36,565
city no less and the co chair

1815
01:07:34,833 --> 01:07:38,165
of the progressive caucus from

1816
01:07:36,567 --> 01:07:38,899
brooklyn can work together on

1817
01:07:38,167 --> 01:07:41,565
good government reform

1818
01:07:38,901 --> 01:07:42,831
legislation like this. I think

1819
01:07:41,567 --> 01:07:44,165
that sends a message to the

1820
01:07:42,833 --> 01:07:45,631
whole council and I think

1821
01:07:44,167 --> 01:07:47,165
maybe there's hope for the

1822
01:07:45,633 --> 01:07:48,498
whole city, no matter how

1823
01:07:47,167 --> 01:07:53,032

leaders today. I'm introducing

1860
01:08:57,933 --> 01:09:01,598
to resolutions. The first

1861
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:03,999
resolution 1021 calls on the

1862
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,799
state to expand coverage for

1863
01:09:04,001 --> 01:09:07,199
colon cancer screenings to

1864
01:09:04,801 --> 01:09:08,999
individuals age 35 and older

1865
01:09:07,201 --> 01:09:10,631
and to require such coverage

1866
01:09:09,001 --> 01:09:11,398
and all insurance policies.

1867
01:09:10,633 --> 01:09:12,732
currently, the federal

1868
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,198
government only requires

1869
01:09:12,734 --> 01:09:17,299
insurance plans to cover these

1870
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:18,432
screenings beginning at age 45

1871
01:09:17,301 --> 01:09:20,765
, however, colon cancer rates

1872
01:09:18,434 --> 01:09:21,832
and younger adults have risen

1873
01:09:20,767 --> 01:09:23,832
for decades, the national

1874
01:09:21,834 --> 01:09:26,265
cancer institute reports a

1875
01:09:23,834 --> 01:09:28,631
study increase in diagnoses

1876
01:09:26,267 --> 01:09:30,165
among those under 50 with many

1877
01:09:28,633 --> 01:09:35,465
cases already advanced by the time they are detective

1878
01:09:33,567 --> 01:09:36,832
health and hospitals notes

1879
01:09:35,467 --> 01:09:38,699
that when colon cancers found

1880
01:09:36,834 --> 01:09:41,698
early the five year survival

1881
01:09:38,701 --> 01:09:43,899
rate is 90% waiting to screen

1882
01:09:41,700 --> 01:09:45,831
can cost lives the second

1883
01:09:43,901 --> 01:09:47,431
resolution 1022 calls on the

1884
01:09:45,833 --> 01:09:49,765
state to hold corporations

1885
01:09:47,433 --> 01:09:52,032
criminally liable when their

1886
01:09:49,767 --> 01:09:52,832
negligence and recklessness at

not properly marked or secured

1893
01:10:02,001 --> 01:10:05,865
, which pose a serious dangers

1894
01:10:04,867 --> 01:10:07,132
to residents, pedestrians,

1919
01:10:50,100 --> 01:10:52,365
council district and we will

1920
01:10:50,901 --> 01:10:54,098
be sad to see you go next. I'm

1921
01:10:52,367 --> 01:10:56,031
proud to introduce three bills

1922
01:10:54,100 --> 01:10:56,965
that will strengthen safety,

1923
01:10:56,033 --> 01:10:59,032
improved communication with

1924
01:10:56,967 --> 01:10:59,832
our communities and expand

1925
01:10:59,034 --> 01:11:02,431
transit options and in

1926
01:10:59,834 --> 01:11:03,298
neighborhoods that need the

1927
01:11:02,433 --> 01:11:04,765
most. Two of these bills are

1928
01:11:03,300 --> 01:11:06,232
the result of extensive

1929
01:11:04,767 --> 01:11:07,765
discussions with our commuter

1930
01:11:06,234 --> 01:11:09,698
van working group aimed aimed

1931
01:11:07,767 --> 01:11:10,499
supporting the growth of the

1932
01:11:09,700 --> 01:11:12,632
license community band

1933
01:11:10,501 --> 01:11:13,565
industry to better serve

1934
01:11:12,634 --> 01:11:17,432
transit deserts while cracking

1935
01:11:13,567 --> 01:11:18,431
down on the dangerous,

1936
01:11:17,434 --> 01:11:19,765
unlicensed vans that undermine

1937
01:11:18,433 --> 01:11:22,365
safety and take riders away

1938
01:11:19,767 --> 01:11:24,365
from public transit. The first

1939
01:11:22,367 --> 01:11:25,498
bill intro 346 requires a

1940
01:11:24,367 --> 01:11:26,498
department of transportation

1941
01:11:25,500 --> 01:11:27,931
to conduct a comprehensive

1942
01:11:26,500 --> 01:11:29,565
study of the commuter van

1943
01:11:27,933 --> 01:11:31,965
industry every four years, the

1944
01:11:29,567 --> 01:11:33,231
study will examine ridership

1945
01:11:31,967 --> 01:11:34,431
service areas and stop

1946
01:11:33,233 --> 01:11:37,699
locations and help us better

1947
01:11:34,433 --> 01:11:39,365
understand how commuted bans

1948
01:11:37,701 --> 01:11:41,432
fits into the al broader

1949
01:11:39,367 --> 01:11:43,499
transit network, the second

1950
01:11:41,434 --> 01:11:44,499
bill in 2347, directs our

1951
01:11:43,501 --> 01:11:46,498
enforcement agency used to

1952
01:11:44,501 --> 01:11:48,065
take a tougher approach to

1953
01:11:46,500 --> 01:11:49,165
illegal operations by ensuring

1954
01:11:48,067 --> 01:11:50,965
that every license van stopped

1955
01:11:49,167 --> 01:11:52,699
on our streets is held

1956
01:11:50,967 --> 01:11:53,698
accountable for all applicable

1957
01:11:52,701 --> 01:11:56,832
violations and faces the

1958
01:11:53,700 --> 01:11:57,632
maximum penalty is allowed

1959
01:11:56,834 --> 01:11:59,165
under law. The third bill

1960
01:11:57,634 --> 01:12:01,231
injured 13 45, responds to

1961
01:11:59,167 --> 01:12:02,831
changes we've seen with our

1962
01:12:01,233 --> 01:12:04,431
bus network redesign such as

1963
01:12:02,833 --> 01:12:06,098
the queen's bus network

1964
01:12:04,433 --> 01:12:08,765
redesign, it would require

1965
01:12:06,100 --> 01:12:11,565
dealt coordination with the to

1966
01:12:08,767 --> 01:12:12,298
notify nearby homeowners and

1967
01:12:11,567 --> 01:12:13,699
businesses whenever a bus stop

1968
01:12:12,300 --> 01:12:15,631
is created removed within 50

1969
01:12:13,701 --> 01:12:16,699
feet of their property. This

1970
01:12:15,633 --> 01:12:18,832
is especially important for

1971
01:12:16,701 --> 01:12:20,298
seniors in new yorkers with

1972
01:12:18,834 --> 01:12:21,231
disabilities who deserve

1973
01:12:20,300 --> 01:12:24,232
advanced notice when bust

1974
01:12:21,233 --> 01:12:24,965
access changes in their

1975
01:12:24,234 --> 01:12:26,365
neighborhood. These bills

1976
01:12:24,967 --> 01:12:27,965
reflect our commitment to a

1977
01:12:26,367 --> 01:12:28,765
transportation system that is

1978
01:12:27,967 --> 01:12:30,032
safer, more accessible and

1979
01:12:28,767 --> 01:12:31,565
more responsive to the needs

1980
01:12:30,034 --> 01:12:33,099
of every community I urge my

1981
01:12:31,567 --> 01:12:34,032
colleagues to join me in

1982
01:12:33,101 --> 01:12:37,165
advancing them, and I also

1983
01:12:34,034 --> 01:12:39,899
would like to join the chorus

1984
01:12:37,167 --> 01:12:40,632

throughout this time that

1989
01:12:45,967 --> 01:12:49,832
you've been here. You've

1990
01:12:47,233 --> 01:12:51,099
helped me champion a lot of

1991
01:12:49,834 --> 01:12:52,032
meaningful legislation and I'm

1992
01:12:51,101 --> 01:12:53,265
really thankful for all that

1993
01:12:52,034 --> 01:12:54,832
you've done for me personally

1994
01:12:53,267 --> 01:12:55,765

then salam, thank you,

2000
01:13:02,500 --> 01:13:05,098
majority leader. No new yorker

2001
01:13:03,834 --> 01:13:06,031
should have to choose between

2002
01:13:05,100 --> 01:13:08,065
their health and their

2003
01:13:06,033 --> 01:13:09,765
paycheck. That's why I'm

2004
01:13:08,067 --> 01:13:12,565
introducing intro 13 69, which

2005
01:13:09,767 --> 01:13:13,432
guarantees every worker in our

2006
01:13:12,567 --> 01:13:14,965
city five hours of paid time

2007
01:13:13,434 --> 01:13:16,831

medical care check screenings,

2009
01:13:16,833 --> 01:13:19,231
particularly cancer screenings

2010
01:13:17,900 --> 01:13:20,832
and counseling that can catch

2011
01:13:19,233 --> 01:13:22,565
illness early and save lives.

2012
01:13:20,834 --> 01:13:24,232
this is a simple common sense

2013
01:13:22,567 --> 01:13:25,231
step to keep our work force

2014
01:13:24,234 --> 01:13:26,298

being of every new yorker

2017
01:13:28,367 --> 01:13:30,032
healthy workers mean the

2018
01:13:29,167 --> 01:13:30,898
strongest city and that starts

2019
01:13:30,034 --> 01:13:33,765

2021
01:13:33,767 --> 01:13:37,765

2083
01:15:31,533 --> 01:15:33,198
applications. This will make

01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,999
it easier for new yorkers to

requiring dot gov domains for

01:16:13,534 --> 01:16:18,199
many, preventing costly delays

2107
01:16:14,534 --> 01:16:19,598
. This will save owners from

2108
01:16:18,201 --> 01:16:20,898
unexpected fees, stalled

2109
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:23,265

2111
01:16:23,267 --> 01:16:26,465

you for their work unless I'm

2275
01:21:54,034 --> 01:22:00,299
introducing a piece of

2276
01:21:55,434 --> 01:22:01,565
legislation today in 13 49

2277
01:22:00,301 --> 01:22:02,365
with hospital's committee

2278
01:22:01,567 --> 01:22:04,365
chair mercedes narcisse. Just

2279
01:22:02,367 --> 01:22:06,231
going to make it a little

2280
01:22:04,367 --> 01:22:07,398
easier and more affordable for

2281
01:22:06,233 --> 01:22:08,932
cities, medical and health

2282
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,465
care facilities so they could

2283
01:22:08,934 --> 01:22:13,332
focus on what's most important

2284
01:22:10,467 --> 01:22:14,199
, which is caring for patients

2285
01:22:13,334 --> 01:22:16,065
under the seas current

2286
01:22:14,201 --> 01:22:17,199
commercial waste own program

2287
01:22:16,067 --> 01:22:18,931
businesses, including medical

2288
01:22:17,201 --> 01:22:20,399
facilities are locked into

2289
01:22:18,933 --> 01:22:22,465
contracts with specific waste

2290
01:22:20,401 --> 01:22:26,665
haulers who ultimately

2291
01:22:22,467 --> 01:22:29,132
subcontract medical waste

2292
01:22:26,667 --> 01:22:29,865
component to whoever the to

2293
01:22:29,134 --> 01:22:31,331
two other organizations or

2294
01:22:29,867 --> 01:22:32,399
other companies, but for

2295
01:22:31,333 --> 01:22:34,265
health care facilities that

2296
01:22:32,401 --> 01:22:35,798
generate medical waste, our

2297
01:22:34,267 --> 01:22:37,199
hospital clinics, doctor's

2298
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,799
offices. This creates

2299
01:22:37,201 --> 01:22:42,365
unnecessary burdens and costly

2300
01:22:38,801 --> 01:22:43,232
burdens and especially for

2301
01:22:42,367 --> 01:22:44,632
bigger institutions that have

2302
01:22:43,234 --> 01:22:45,298
facilities across multiple

2303
01:22:44,634 --> 01:22:47,432
zones. This becomes

2304
01:22:45,300 --> 01:22:48,432
problematic. So with this bill

2305
01:22:47,434 --> 01:22:50,632
where attempting to reduce the

2306
01:22:48,434 --> 01:22:53,699
costs for our hospitals and

2307
01:22:50,634 --> 01:22:54,431
our health care facilities so

2308
01:22:53,701 --> 01:22:56,965
that they could focus on

2309
01:22:54,433 --> 01:22:57,699
what's more important, most

2310
01:22:56,967 --> 01:23:01,498
important reducing

2311
01:22:57,701 --> 01:23:04,765
administrative costs to care

2312
01:23:01,500 --> 01:23:05,699
for patients, patients, health

2313
01:23:04,767 --> 01:23:06,832
, especially as our federal

2314
01:23:05,701 --> 01:23:08,965
government seeks to cut our

2315
01:23:06,834 --> 01:23:10,298
health care dollars this bill

2316
01:23:08,967 --> 01:23:12,865
is more important now than

2317
01:23:10,300 --> 01:23:14,465
ever. Thank you, madam

2318
01:23:12,867 --> 01:23:15,599

your district and to our

2343
01:24:03,234 --> 01:24:07,832
entire city. We, the three of

2344
01:24:06,633 --> 01:24:09,232
us make the triangle from the

2345
01:24:07,834 --> 01:24:12,832
former session in the new york

2346
01:24:09,234 --> 01:24:13,832
city council. We are the last

2347
01:24:12,834 --> 01:24:15,365
three standing, um, learned a

2348
01:24:13,834 --> 01:24:19,165
lot from our former carl

colleagues right here in these

2350
01:24:19,167 --> 01:24:24,065
chambers and in the member's

2351
01:24:21,300 --> 01:24:30,331
lounge and in other places and

2352
01:24:24,067 --> 01:24:32,398
the triangle is now duo.

2353
01:24:30,333 --> 01:24:34,198
>>okay, especially when people

2354
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:37,465
still get the two of you

2355
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:38,599
confused just saying carlina

2356
01:24:37,467 --> 01:24:41,431
has been a voice for the lower

2357
01:24:38,601 --> 01:24:45,665
east side, where she grew up

2358
01:24:41,433 --> 01:24:46,199
serving district staff member

2359
01:24:45,667 --> 01:24:46,998
for her predecessor and

2360
01:24:46,201 --> 01:24:49,198
representing the district

2361
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:51,065
since 20018. She's been a

2362
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:53,131
leader for reproductive health

2363
01:24:51,067 --> 01:24:53,965
care leading efforts to

2364
01:24:53,133 --> 01:24:57,465
establish the council's

2365
01:24:53,967 --> 01:24:58,965
funding for abortion access in

2366
01:24:57,467 --> 01:25:01,865
an increase our commitment to

2367
01:24:58,967 --> 01:25:02,832
$1 million. This is now the

2368
01:25:01,867 --> 01:25:04,432
nation's largest municipal

access to help those who

2371
01:25:05,300 --> 01:25:11,632
cannot afford it, and I have

2372
01:25:09,433 --> 01:25:15,898
to say that that package was

2373
01:25:11,634 --> 01:25:19,699
amongst the first for the

2374
01:25:15,900 --> 01:25:22,365
