People have been given permission to go. To put up a fence doesnt feel good. Given permission by outside parties who have indicated this is a fun trail to go use.

I want to hear about it right now because we are stewards of that watershed. If we can find them, we will engage in a process.

They did not do a damn thing about it. That is further proof. A minimum of 89 people have lost their lives in that fire, that took place, on the other side of

Mayor breed thank you so much for being here today. I want to add to what mary ellen said about what we need to do to take our Emergency Response system to the next level.

So ab 911 is just an incredible step forward that will provide us with the resources necessary
