“Thank you, Madam President. Madam Clerk, just a quick observation, if I may, just a humble suggestion, if I may. I did notice that the Ray Jordan Senior Center, they're going to be open Wednesday, October 21st, and Thursday, October 29th, from 9 to 3. May I suggest that perhaps we should increase it up to 4 to keep it apart with Greenleaf? And I'm sure that the data... told you that that's the times, but I will encourage you, go back, see if it's possible to add that extra hour on both days.”

“I would encourage you to do so. I mean, go back, look at your data, as you say, of course. I am not the election commissioner. It's just an observation that I made. So is it basically the Ray Jordan Senior Center is more in line to target the population, which is the elderly? Correct, yes, OK. Although anybody could go and vote correct and they do right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Thank you, Madam President.”

“Thank you, Madam President. Lieutenant, good to see you again. As I've said in the past, I'm a big proponent of this program. It works. I've seen it firsthand. But I have to ask the same question that I ask every year. Are we keeping these clinicians to Springfield only?”
CITY COUNCIL · Oct 5, 2026
- Play at 1:14:32
“Okay. I believe that was the same case last year. So I know there was a time in which we were sharing the clinicians with area communities, and that speaks to my ears that they're dedicated for Springfield. With that being said, good job on this program. Thank you. Thank you.”
