“Commissioner Templer, I think you mentioned that the index, there's specific areas of our salaries that would be affected and not affected. Do those have to be delineated in that? No. Areas that are going to be covered or affected and not?”

“I think we should leave it as it is, unless we can get more delineation on the cap. Because if there's a cap, then that means that we will be responsible for paying the additional increase, right?”

“Commissioner Jean? Thank you so much, Mr. Mayor. I think that, you know, Commissioner, so you were voted in in November, right? You wanted a runoff. yeah so i think that we when we analyze these points we have to look at them from all vintage points um because technically if there was no runoff you would not maybe you won't be here right so i think that when we look at what the state has put in place as it relates to as it relates to what suppressing voters is giving them less options when you take out early voting You see what has happened. So many thousands of voters have been stripped off…”

“And also to say that our voters do not know who they're voting for is also insult to injury. That's kind of saying that the voter doesn't care who their mayor is, who their commissioners are. People, when you knock on doors, people are vested into the city. So whether it's the seven or the six that attended the, you guys, just like we're a sample size of the entire community, the committee was also a sample size of the community. The thousands didn't get to really, we're speaking on behalf of the residents. So to say that this would be the best for them when you're eliminating options, That's…”

“They're just voting. They're just going in and saying, oh, who's this? That happens a lot. Who's this? Who's that?”

“You'd be surprised. But again, I think that for the sake of argument's sake, if we're dissecting arguments, a runoff gives somebody a second win and a lot of so it's like the goose and the gander it was good for one time but now we're taking it out because it doesn't serve a greater purpose well hopefully by if this were to change then the next election would be in 2029 no it would be in 2029”

“No, but I'm saying, like I said in my comment, I use Washington Park as an example, but every community has its limitations as it relates to voting. When you go to different precincts, they have different limitations. So that's why I'm saying early voting, taking out early voting would not benefit our city as a whole.”
