“Thank you. So I didn't know any of this was going to happen. That was clearly pre-planned. But I will say I was very opinionated before I ran on council, and I am still opinionated. And I put my opinions out there. And I have been very opinionated with the school district and their lack of resources for certain students. And I've been very opinionated with the city. And... around pay with first responders and the lack of pay for a very long time. And I was opinionated. I put my opinions out there. I still would if I needed to. So I am confident that he could adequately do his job on planning…”

“Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to say congratulations to Sergeant DePue. He is officially retired. I went to his retirement thing. I just stopped in really quick last week. But I feel like he's been such a pillar in our community for so long. And he's the first person you see when there's an interview conducted with LSPD. So I'll miss seeing him around. But congratulations to him. Thank you.”

“Thank you, Mayor. When we've had gas stations or convenience stores come before us before, they've provided pictures of their other locations just so we can kind of see how they've maintained the other locations and things like that. Do you have any pictures or images of your other locations that you run or own? Can you give me the name of them and I can just look them up?”

“Thank you mayor. So a former member former mayor baird he was very big on. The gateways to our city. Looking nice and I just don't think that this is how I want a main gateway to our city being represented. I also, it really bothers me that the gas station is planning on being 24 hours. I personally do not feel like it fits the character of the neighborhood, therefore I will be a no.”
