Wali Kota's meeting.
Hi, Wali Kota. Hi, Wali Kota.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
This is my meeting for May 2, 2026. The meeting is completed. So, in summary, my schedule and then I will wait for other items to appear during the meeting for my comments during that session. I met with the interviewer and executive of the Heman Sanitation District regarding the mediation that will come regarding the mediation that is ordered by the court related to the litigation involving the city of Maestron and the Heman Sanitation District. The mediation has been carried out without any breakthroughs in the litigation. So I have other questions, calm down, I have a question for you. In an interview through Zoom by Greg Braggs from Braggs in the Stands about the possibility of BERS choosing Heman as the next location for the BERS cage stadium, I am not going to participate in this, but I would like to say thank you to HEMEN Home Output, HEMEN Park Department, and HEMEN Career Area Center, because they have cooperated with campus students and career areas to build a good park for our community. A very good effort, a lot of hard work, a lot of time, and I want to say thank you to all of you. Thank you to all of you who came to go there. It was a very good day, giving them appreciation. I met with the executive team of the Hemen Sanitation District regarding potential complaints that are threatened to be submitted to the district by 150 local authorities for the work that was contracted in the district. I hope we can solve this. We have a very good relationship with the local authorities. Although I cannot participate myself, I would like to thank the Hemen Church for organizing their cooking and cooking event at the Hemen City Park. This is their second year holding this event, and I would like to thank the Minister of Finance and the Ministry of Finance for having chosen us as their outstanding representatives. I met with the CEO of NIPCO, Vian Sparsisi, to get the latest information from the point of view of NIPCO related to the proposal of the DX Hammer data center. And what I have to say about that is that the name of the entity is NIPCO. It has the power for our data center. Good news. I would like to say thank you to the dozens of Hammond Police officers who participated in the clock-on roof of the three-storied donut stall in South Hammond. These three locations are located in Block 7300 Indiana Police Blvd. Block 7300 Indiana Police Blvd. Duncan is just there. In Block 7400 Kennedy. All the police collected money for a special Olympics in West Indiana. Locations in Block 7300 Indiana Police Blvd. collected the highest number. Always happy when the police give back to their community. So to all those who are involved, to all those who are happy to see the police collecting money for good purposes. A meeting in Balai Kota with a member of JANET FENES, discussing various topics throughout the city. I appreciate Janet for being present. She attended the ICSC convention in Las Vegas with a number of city employees. We have a stun again this year. We have hundreds of contacts. This is the same convention as when we signed the agreement with ZEKBIS last year. So we hope to get an agreement like that again this year. We really want to install a virus logo on our stun. It's a bit controversial, but I think it will attract attention. It really attracts attention. So hopefully we will get some of those businesses. For all the people who are there, we also have four members of the Dewan. It would be very nice if you have members of the Dewan there too. So in many cases, we talk about the Mariani District. When I was interviewed by Mariana Ahern, we all know her. We have observed her for a long time. She is a host. Born and raised in Michigan City, Indiana. So, in a personal way, she supports us even though she is in Chicago. Don't give up. I met Pastor Jeff Burton from St. John Bosso Catholic Parish. We talked about the property of Genesis in the entire city of Heman, which may want to be given to Heman. We wrote a letter to the uskup, less than a year ago, asking the uskup to remind us if they will come out of the long-term obligation with the land that they have in the whole city. And we received very positive feedback from the U.S. Goa, which in my opinion is positive. And then Pastor Burton also talked to me specifically about that. So we have a few opportunities that may come up soon. to attend the anniversary of the Mohawk organization in North Hamon. Good work as usual for Hamon Mohawks. Good work for Mrs. Pertiwi. Yesterday was very beautiful. A lot of people have permits. It's so fun to see a lot of people out there, a lot of members of the band. That's the day. That's all I want to say. Thank you. And today I would like to welcome Pastor Rick Orlinsky to St. John's Church in Moscow. Pastor Rick has served more than five decades in the imamhood to serve the people of West Indian Ocean. But the biggest impact is Vellon Hammond. And where is Vellon Hammond? He was a former minister for several decades at St. John Bosso Catholic Church, where I met him. Pastor Ring also served at St. Catherine Catholic Church from Siena, St. Mary Amor and St. Mary of St. Joseph in the center of the city of Hammond, Oregon. He is a great person to see people go, you know. Thank you, Mr. President. The next agenda is the nomination of the students of the Public Council.

This building will be located at an area of 27 hectares that is less utilized in the Tenggara 158th Street and Cayman Avenue. We have a debt relief as part of this agreement and 100 new employees in this corridor along Cayman Avenue. This is a good investment with large companies and other Illinois companies moving to our city. So, I hope the committee supports this and I appreciate and allow me to speak, Madam President.
Of course.

So please come and listen to what the community and police officers say. Because the community is not just about me. There is another committee report. There is another committee report. There is another committee report. The committee report is now closed. The third reading of the Amir Regulation, the last part.

Maaf, ada pertanyaan tertentu. Kami tidak akan membahasnya untuk yang ketiga dan terakhir malam ini.
Kami hanya akan menunggu hingga tamat.
Maaf.
Oh, there it is. So, there is no solution. President Nyonya. Yes, members of the Dewan.
I am proposing the implementation of the rules so that we can implement the Resolution No. 2 of May 2012.
Proposed by members of the Purple Dewan, which is supported by members of the Tyler Dewan, to implement the rules for the use of information. Is that true? Before you come again, please make a meeting.
Alexander. Spatelli. Kowinski. Celanus. Tyler. Emerson. Warpul. Rek. Van.
The motion is accepted. 9-7-0. The president's speech. I'm a member of the parliament.
I want to make a motion to be dismissed. I'm sorry.
Resolution 26R-12 is sponsored by members of the Tyler Committee, a resolution that supports members, workers, and local workers, to unite and suppress British Petroleum to end the lock-up in Kilangwai Ting and continue the debate with a good attitude.
Yes, President.
Members of the Tyler Committee.
I appeal to pass Resolution 26R-12.
This resolution states that the support of the city of Heman for about 800 members of Bajalokal 71, which has been locked down since March 19,
This resolution acknowledges that many of these workers and their families live, pray, and worship the Lord, become volunteers, and raise their families throughout the Indian Ocean, including here in Ammon, and that the lock is created for these workers' families, and a significant community for these workers' families and communities. This resolution also acknowledges the presence of concerns about the operation of the main rail facilities, which uses workers to replace the local workers with experience that best understands the factory and its safety system. Through this resolution, the City Council of Haman and the government urged British Petroleum to end the election back to the polling station with a good attitude and work towards a fair agreement that protects the local employment of YOYU-LC, respect the rights of YOYU-LC workers, and promote safety and stability for the long term of KILANG and the surrounding communities.
Yes, Mr. President. I want to ask Panitera Gultik to guide me as one of the sponsors in this matter. No, I'm just one of the sponsors in this matter. I just want to be added as one of the sponsors in this resolution.
After the meeting, there was a discussion about this.
There was a discussion.
Yes, Mr. President.
Members of the delegation.
I just want to say thank you to you and your government because you have delivered this to the council and planned it as you know. This is a personal problem for me as a child of two Baja workers who met at the Baja factory. So they have been working, even before I was born. Of course, my mother was present at Antara Hadirin tonight as a staff representative. So this is very meaningful. So I just want to say thank you once again to my ex-husband, who worked at the local USW 72734, where I worked for several years after graduating from college. So I can feel the deep connection with this and my heart goes out to all people who are affected by this and hopefully we can make you work again. I know this not only affects your family but also the entire community. The work you do is very important. Your life and that makes our country keep moving. So hopefully we can. You know this is only our small part in becoming part of this struggle. But hopefully this will encourage BP to move. Thank you.
Please.
Mr. Mayor, Mr. President of the United States, Eric Schultz, and I have been communicating continuously and I have brought the donut. Several times this evening, it looks more important. Of course, this is the will of the city of Hemen. We support the workers of 71. What is happening is not right. And even though we are all angry at Nipsey O. Nipsey O. wants to start their protest after men and women from Local 71 were locked and Nipsey O. finished the protest temporarily. And members of 71 are still locked. That's not right. That's not right. And I respect the committee because it complies with the rules and gives a voice with a loud voice. Because this can be postponed for two weeks, if only one person advances. So, members of the committee, you are the right person to do this. I appreciate all of your committee members. I appreciate all of your committee members for your support so that we can finish it. I think the time is very important. You know, I know, Mr. Fitri, I read in the newspaper that BP will return to the polling station. I hope that's true and I hope they get a resolution like this and realize that they need to finish this and they need to let these people work again. So, this is not right.
As a member of AFL-CIO for 47 years in the place I work, we do not have the right to mock. Basically, we stay calm for 90 days, then the management, through arbitration that takes up time up to 1.5 years, to give us whatever they want. And that's frustrating because we never get more than one or two percent in the contract. And I encourage these people to stick to what they believe in and for their family.
There is another discussion. I think that's an important point. You know, and I just said it to a day-to-day person, and one of the workers said, oh, it's very bad, you want to go to work. I appreciate it. We are not locked. It's even worse when you come to work one day, and everything is locked, and all the management is there doing the work you should be doing. That's not right. So, I'm happy to be corrected, and I'm happy to be corrected, because the work is locked outside. And then the management doesn't even negotiate.
They want them to leave, they want them to go home.
That's not true. We support these workers and do everything we can as a city. Thank you, Mr. President. There is another discussion.
Mr. President.
Yes, Mr. President.
Based on the current regulation and based on the discussion for the Combo Resolution, I will be happy if we can open the opportunity for the workers or their families to go up to the podium and have a conversation.
Thank you once again for your support in this problem.
My name is Erick Schultz, and I am proud to be the president of United Steelworkers Local 71. On behalf of our 800 members who are affected by the accident, their families, I want to say thank you to this committee because it has supported the workers and extended this resolution in the first reading to support our workers. This event has given financial support to the community in all parts of West Indiana. Your support sends a strong message that our community values work that is fair and safe. Our members do not want anything but to return to work safely based on fair agreements. And tonight, your actions show that you are willing to support the workers. Thank you for your consideration, solidarity, and leadership. And also as a reminder for the members of One Tailor, you will get a problem after this is over. You have just dropped your wife. She is an assistant director for District 7, not a staff representative. I think you might want to run away from here. That's what I want to say. I want to react to myself, but I know I hope she will come here and have a conversation and introduce herself.
Thank you.
Don't be discouraged. Whatever happens to you, God will take care of you. It's very important to talk about this particular issue, because it affects their families, their wealth, and the improvement of our entire region. So, by saying that, I think it's amazing that this committee will offer something as big as this to show how important it is to make these people come back to work. So, I appreciate it.
Good evening, I am Suyacara Dewan I and Wali Kota A and E in Tarkunjaritwi. You walk to the door. As the saying goes, the door is locked. Even though you are willing to come in and do the work that you always do, they will not let you in. And they have not worked for a day or get a salary for more than two months. Right now, they are suffering from all the injustice and sacrifice that will be experienced by anyone and everyone of us if we suddenly lose our jobs without our own choice. We will all be worried about paying for the utilities when the mortgage company shan't provide for our children. British Petroleum has issued a dollar-a-tetapi order demanding that their employees do a PHK who do not comply with the contract that has been agreed by the employees who are left to receive a significant tax cut and that they agree to the agreement that for at least six years the agreement will not return them to their current tax of Rp 2,026. Members and members of British Petroleum and USW have appreciated Hammond City, McDermott City, McDermott City, and Ang atas Resolusi, which supports members of Keras USW Local 71. Thank you.
I just want to remind everyone that there are billions of people who exploit workers and society, as well as disrupting our economy. This has never happened before. By the way they do this. And we have to fight as a community. EARM supports EARM workers. EARM workers are dead. EARM workers. And our community, because of that, also says that there are businesses out there that cannot be supported by the workers right now because they are locked up and they can't move. Thank you for taking this step and let's just continue. Don't let us lose momentum and keep moving forward.
My name is Jim Klochan and I live in 2004 Davis Avenue.
My conversation is related to DP who wants everything. When I moved to my house in Heman in 1996, we paid a real estate tax of $200 a year. This May, my wife and I paid another real estate tax of $4,000. That is 20 times more than what we paid in our first year there. All my neighbors in Hammond Air, Chicago, East, Widing, all pay more than 20 times more than what they paid 40 years ago for their property, except for one neighbor. And that neighbor is BP. BP does not pay anything close to what they paid 20, 30, 40 years ago. When AMO has a place, they pay a reasonable tax and a real estate tax. BP does not. We need to think about what we can do to get back the money so that the citizens do not support the oil company. Thank you very much. And the mayor, you have also done a great job in blocking BP. And may you do the same great work as you have done.
Any other comments? Thank you. Any other discussion? Any other discussion? Any other discussion? Please make your voice heard. Panitera, before I give that, I want to add that all of us as a committee as a whole, as a sponsor of this regulation, we fully agree with every word in the resolution as it should be. And thank you to all of you who speak from your hearts. Kami menghargainya. Kami bersimpati kepada Anda dan mesti diterima. Item 97-0 menentang. Beralih ketindakan zonasi khusus.
Item A. Ya, Presiden. Anggota Dewan.
Saya mengusulkan agar kita kembali ke agenda rutin.
Terima kasih. Proposal to return to the routine agenda. Proposal from members of the Alexander Committee.
All those in favor?
Opposed? Proposal accepted. Now, oh, the act of special consideration is adopted under Code Indiana 36.7.
Regulation 2 MAM 17 which is sponsored by the members of the Salenus delegation. And a regulation that classifies certain land in the city of Hamon for the purpose of zoning and changing. Regulation number 8514 which... which is a regulation that maintains the zoning plan for the city. HEMON, EIRGEIS, including regulations and PTA to manage the zoning plan to provide growth and development in the city. Everything is in accordance with the comprehensive use plan as it has been changed for properties commonly known as 5009 KT Avenue.
I appeal to the final resolution and amendment 2016-17.
Seconded by Member of the Assembly, seconded by Member of the House of Representatives. Okay, Mr. Mayor.
I want to be careful, because I know we've done this before. I know we're not supposed to fight, but I will repeat it again. I remember as far as I can remember and I don't remember anything in the location of the building, the city that was used by the MN Sanitation District. I think the last time this building was used was in the early 1990s, when this land benefited. We have a 10-year lease that we have agreed on as an incentive package to move this business to Hemon. In my opinion, it is a very good investment to bring 100 new employees to this corridor on land that has not really produced jobs for almost a century or even longer. And I hope that the Council will consider this carefully. I think this is a good step for the Council. Thank you, Members of the Council.
And in connection with the point of Wali Kota, I would like to add that these 100 employees are high-quality workers with high benefits of local quality work. And regarding the point that has been conveyed, Ben, maybe during our last meeting, during the public expression, this is a reflection of the 4th generation who relocated the business. They are from Ilim Al-Baseya, which has been standing for more than 100 years, and they made investments and significant decisions to make Hammond as their new long-term home for the coming generation. So, I ask everyone to consider this. Thank you, Madam President. Yes, members of the delegation.
To reaffirm what the members of Susana said 47 years ago, I started working at the post office and one of the first routes I used to send was that place. At that time, there was no business there. 47 years ago. And to reaffirm what the members of Selena said Thank you. Is there another discussion? Is there another discussion? Yes, Mr. President.
The company is still with us. We have other agreements that failed. We make decisions that are not in line with the wishes of the USO, and they can easily leave and stay with the city of Hammond. I want to show that they can leave months ago when we made an agreement with Riverside Christian, and they didn't do it. They are still with us through love and grief. I think you know I want to show that to God. So they are clearly committed to us.
The new president. One thing I forgot. The first thing I heard about this property was that there was a tunnel there, so Al Capone could move from College City to Hammond when it was a slaughterhouse. And I'm here to tell you that there is no tunnel like that under that property.
There's a room in the middle, but maybe it's not there. Come on, there's another discussion. There's another discussion. There's another discussion. Please, please.
Alexander. Yes. Spatelli.
There are members of the committee.
Gowinski. Celennus. Tyler.
Thank you.
I'm sorry. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Next.
Thank you.
On Saturday, I got the honor to accompany my mother to the free flower sharing in the center of the city. That's a good event. As you can imagine, this event is not very attended by the younger generation in this city. This event is maybe one of the big events in this city, where older people are present. Another problem that I noticed is that there are no signs that direct anyone to There are quite a few people who find it difficult to climb the stairs. Long Priyansya Saksika almost fell down because he was forced to walk down the stairs with a walking tool. I know that over the past few months, this city has been talking about work. As well as, I will join the organization, so I'm going crazy. The next speaker is Barbara Hadro.
Selamat malam.
to the mayor who has stepped out, to the mayor's assistant, to the respected members of the council, and to the guests who are present.
My name is Barparo. I always strive to make the world a better place. I am very happy to share some amazing new plans to create a friendly environment and to honor our veterans. To start this festival, we are presenting our concept to Purdue University students. Elena Williams took the concept, Kami, and with Mark Lewinsky, and some others helped come here to inspect the area and work with others to produce some amazing ideas and illustrations that will be shared, Scott, to you, to give you an image of what this Federalist Memorial Parkway will be like later. Illustrations that have been displayed to be seen by everyone in the Horticultural Building in Perdula, Fayet. This is his senior thesis and I think he did an amazing job. This garden is equipped with original plants to encourage the gardener, Alnengi Sunset. A place to relax and enjoy the view of our big lake, Alnengi, plus a bicycle lane for city dwellers and people who like to cycle. Kami tahu bahwa manfaat berada di dekat alam tidak terbatas. Itulah sebabnya kami sangat gembira mempersiapkan ini kepada Anda semua dan berharap Anda akan setuju dan menandatangani untuk penyelesaiannya. Terima kasih banyak atas perhatian Anda. Terima kasih.
Terima kasih, Barbara. Apakah Anda mendapatkan satu? Pembicara berikutnya, Janir Kelardo. Garzo. Dapatkan dua kesempatan lagi jika sudah bisa.
I'm here today to talk about the meeting of the people about the Green Steel that will be held in Geri, Indiana. Everyone is invited. The event is held on the same night as the farmer's market, but you can go to the farmer's market and if you succeed until 5 p.m. at Geri's factory, you will get something to eat for free. You know and you can make a public report about Bajaj Hijau. And why is this very important? You know, because there are people in Chicago who are great at scolding us about our smugglers. This really helps to eliminate it, because what happens if you use new technology called tungku, direct gas reduction, it will eliminate coal and coal mill factories. And this is a transition process. That will not happen overnight. But maybe the transition is about 15 years. So, yes, we need to make sure that Nippon makes the right investment in the community because they have the technology and money. And they have invested in ARKANSAS BRASTO, $9.92 billion. And they still have $2.2 billion left to invest in GERI. So what we hope to do is to start this transition to Bajaj Hijau. And if they do it, guys, you know they can do something exactly like what was done in Heman with Banglama in the center of Heman with Centrobank. I mean, the main floor is the same as the bank there, the quality is beautiful there, you know. Then they can take another floor and turn it into an apartment. And like in Heman Elm, they are located next to the train station. So it will be an amazing thing. And GERI can build anything, until they clean the environment. And as I said to people, there is no cave above this Bajaj factory. So they have an impact on all of West Indian Ocean. So this is an effort. But we need a better place for GERI to be better. We want Japan and the US to still do the right thing for the community and become good neighbors and good billionaires and responsible billionaires. Not like BP. So thank you.
The next speaker is Eric Skolets. George Stoia.
George Stoia, Robert Stoia.
Yes.
I think we will have a presentation by people from Bell. Are you waiting? I think that's the president. I think that's the president. I just want to emphasize again that I feel very suspicious that people who have milk laws, exploiting schools to build shops. I mean, he has one right next to him at 171st. And now he will build another school in Salat Avenue. That's not a coincidence. That is only an opportunistic exploitation of children. And that will create. I hope there is something with you and the planning or whoever they think is planning this and calculated. That will be what you do, just create a traffic jam and then pass. So that these people can sell ice cream. And that's good and cool, but it also has an animal place there. And that's it. And I don't know if that road can be handled, then it's like that because there are residents there too. And they don't just come from Robertsdale, they come from Robertsdale. They walk on the hill at five points, and they go south. And that will be difficult and dangerous for the children. As I said, I feel exploitative towards schools that are established by these people, with a very strategic approach. In addition to schools, I have children from Panjeng to buy ice cream, children who don't want ice cream. And the problem is that everyone does it in the car, no one drives anymore. The second speaker, I don't know how many of you who read the letter I wrote, I have to say, Let's say, frustration. You're really angry because the city, oh, you and Wali, the city has become so tight, so you reject your fear or whatever. Letting people, letting the camera, you know, I think they're looking at our faces or whatever the problem is, and I don't know if it's constitutional. It's like this, if you read that letter, some of you may not have time for that, but you have to be patient. I know. I really feel that the tax payer's money was spent on this Heman Studio, and it shows that for us, as citizens, and then while requesting for access to the natural, so that you can show your faces there. Now, it's true that you are a member of the committee, but you need to remember, whoever is in charge, you are not only in charge here, you are also a member of the committee. If you don't want to be in trouble, you can broadcast it.
Next is Mary Schultz.
Good evening. From the first public statement that we have today, a man whose property tax rate rose from $200 a year to more than $4,000. And maybe one of the reasons why this has been happening to us is because we have been doing a 10-year tax reduction. We really hope that this business will last 100 years and create 100 jobs. And I am happy that you are a member of the Dodeon Sinus when I tell you this. But the company is lying. And you know, I have been working at HIPPOTEC for 30 years, where is my salary? But there are many important problems in this city. And one more thing that is especially happening in Hammond right now is that we are facing through the city wants to combine the crossing bridge in Grand Avenue, the project has been canceled because of the lack of 3 million, and as a replacement, we want to use 20 million of the national tax payer to build a crossing bridge in the wrong location and we can destroy the Eastwood Bridge when we work on it. And when I started to think about it, I started to think that this Project Governance Parkway is like a trampoline, you know, the cost is too expensive, no one wants it, and that will cause a lot of environmental damage. And at the City Council meeting on March 9, Mayor McDermond said, we don't even need it since the beginning of the referendum. It is not available on the YouTube channel of the ASEAN city, but it is available directly if you search it on Google. Or it will be available until you are asked for an internal check-in or empty speech, etc. However, you can see it around the minute, from Wednesday to Friday, explaining why we do not need a crossing bridge because there is no longer a train that stops in Hesfield. So, if that's the case, why are we spending $20 million of the country's tax to build a bridge crossing at the wrong location? Samuel Johnson once said that patriotism is the last place of protection for a Bajingan. That means that often people will hide behind the flag to do all kinds of bad things. However, in my opinion, the first place of protection for a Bajingan is to hide behind their children, in their safety. So, it's rumored that this is all about the safety of children and making sure they get to school safely, as well as building a crossing bridge where The wrong behavior is the one that is disgusting. If anyone else feels the same way as me, you can call the City Council at 1844444444 and tell them that you don't want the surroundings around you, you don't want Briar Eastwoods in your neighborhood, and you don't want to be in the kitchen. Thank you. Next, there's Ken Ross.
Good evening, Senewan. In terms of public safety, fear is the most frequently used method in this city to take land from the people. Since the beginning of your project, we have heard ordinary people from the city spreading fake rumors on social media that mislead Breyer is what's coming. At the event, the mayor of the city, the mayor of the city, a city official, tried as hard as possible to help the mayor of the city in this matter. He said, I have lived 8 years exactly across the road from the forest, and I know it's dangerous. That's why I've never stepped there. Ironically, from his comment, it looks like it's not in the comment. Yes, he did not intentionally say it slowly and firmly. The man sitting next to him had to cover his face. I don't think it's appropriate for the mayor to place a city worker in a position like that. What do you think will happen if they say something that contradicts the position of the mayor when asked? Do you think they will get a salary increase? Promotion? Or even money? Campaign? The mayor, together with this committee, ravaged our forest. And locked us out of the forest. We have been locked up. You locked them up because they felt hurt. Because a group of us got a great story in the newspaper. We finally became famous. We were in the Gary Post Tribune meeting. The mayor said, I will teach them. We will show the citizens who their boss is. I will ask several members of the council to make some fake claims and destroy all the forests. Then I will ask the workers to install some warning signs that are the most frightening. To really scare them. The most terrifying fear. There are dozens of signs installed in this terrible farm. The property is not allowed to enter without permission. The offender will be demanded. How is public land suddenly declared as private property? The first sign must be too small. So many signs are installed. Two times bigger than the first sign.
You will think this is the view of a secret chemical weapons factory.
This fence is no more than a fence that is installed because of corruption and corruption.
A message for young people, be afraid of nature, be afraid of the government. When we were young, we used to play in the forest.
The police will pass by once. Not good enough today. Now you have to cover the whole forest and destroy it. hundreds of volunteers to clean the forest for five years. Then all of you stabbed them from behind by snatching them from everyone.
As long as once again, there is no good deed that is not punished. Thank you. Together.
Anthony Hicks.
I'm Tony Hicks, a member of the District Council of the third city of Haman. There are quite a few left. I mean, I'm trying to really unify my mind. But one of the things that is brought to this court is the pre-expansion of the Vietnames Memorial Park. I have someone who is currently sitting in the court. I think he hasn't resigned yet. If you find me after the meeting, we can see each other. I don't know if it's public or private. But of course I want to see that. Secondly, I would like to send a message to the mayor, bringing people from District 3 and the entire city of Hemon to me about the day of Hemon. If we can do it again, it will be very appreciated by District 3. And third, Taman Peringatan E, I mean, not Taman Peringatan E, Taman Martin Luther King, which is one of my achievements as a member of District 3. There is the name of our committee member at this time and the citizens complained to me that I had no control over it. It is up to the mayor to delete the name of the committee member from the list. I am very active in establishing it in the third district and I hope the head of staff will to convey it back to the mayor of the city and convey this idea as well. Third, there are a number of problems that affect the third district and hopefully somehow this can be overcome and I am open and willing to cooperate with anyone among you all who are willing to cooperate with me to make our city better and greater. Thank you.
