“Thank you. Thank you for coming to speak. And I'd like through the city manager to see if Maybe this is something that we may be able to implement in the parks. It's something that I feel is really important, actually, and as a woman, something very private. But I think that our parks, like in Highland Village and in Washington Park and Allen Park and Yolita, these would be very... essential for the girls that and you know and sometimes I remember my mother telling me when she had her menstrual cycle she didn't even know about it like she just went to the bathroom and she was never informed…”

“All right, so also speaking of that petition, so there's like some discrepancy whether there's 17,000 voters in NB or 24,000 voters, but let's just say it's 17,000 voters for argument's sake only to make the petitioners have an easier job, right? So the Department of Elections came back with stating that only 978 signatures were certified? That's correct. Okay.”

“She did. She just said it's correct. So of the 17,978 signatures, that's approximately 6%. So assuming the 17,000 was right, some people say it's 24. But again, I'm trying to make it easier just for argument's sake on the petitioners. so only six percent was reached and that was uh not our fault right that was not our doing that had nothing to do with us we gave them the two months we gave them time to come back with that circulator that they did wrong we didn't do wrong so um the unless they can get um another four percent signatures by Today? Today? Is it today?”

“So I'm jumping around a little bit here. I'm going to go back. I'm sorry and not sorry, actually, that I'm talking so much. So the speaker previously was saying that districting is better because of Eastern Shores. I'm not sure why everything is about Eastern Shores when there's four commissioners that live on the west side. And basically what that speaker was saying is that Eastern Shores is not important. Well, guess what? When you run for office, every community is important. Everyone is equal. Every community is important. love all my communities and I take care of all my communities and…”
