“Marion County Children's Alliance does environmental scans. In other words, send people into these gas stations and stuff and read the labels and stuff. And just like with some of this stuff, it has THC in it. It has to be below a certain level of THC.

“Well, yes. And the point is, though. to get to know just what they plan on doing. Not to say we got to do just what they do or whatever, but let's, I mean, sometimes there's an abundance of information, all right? We may have part of it. Somebody else may have another part of it. But we put all that together, then we got a stronger fight for what we want to really do to accomplish. That's what I'm trying to get at.”

“A lot of departments... had to do some work at some tedious times. And they ought to be recommended for their outstanding job that they've done. I'll tell you, we have an outstanding family here with the city. I like to call them family because you are. And I like to try to give you praise when we can because a lot of times we're knocking you on your head, you know, and we work you very hard. But that's what it takes to make this city the place it is. We're always talking about a great place to live, work, and prosper. It's because of you employees, your due diligence, and your job. Keep it…”
