“Yes, so Councilwoman, statement of fact, based on your vote, I was not here for 30 days. I was not able or allowed to reach out to any staff member to our city manager, so regardless of where I, you know, listening to the conversations or not, I was not a part of them, and it would be completely irresponsible of me to vote on a budget that I have had absolutely no input on. I have not been able to ask a question or receive a response on, and that was based on the actions that were taken by you. So that is why I cannot vote on a budget that I have not been involved in. Councilman Hernandez.”
