What is described in the west as a russian invasion of crimea is a fact the presence of russian soldiers in crimea can you clarify that. They were could do would have barely spoken of a quote but the most of the most go full of the below. As long ago as 1804 sevastopol the naval base became the main military port of the russian empire on the black sea. During the 2nd world war the heroic defense of sevastopol lasted almost a year and took hundreds of thousands of lives. Therefore the naval base in crimea has a legacy of historical pride for the Russian Black Sea fleet as well as being of huge strategic importance. Those of us alive back then remember when there were soviet missiles put into cuba how frightened americans were and how angry and how we almost went to a Nuclear Confrontation over having weapons of that kind of destruction placed that close to the United States. Just so if the United States considers cuba to be in its backyard. Then crimea lays at russias doorstep. The cons

Supplies, and work orders of other city services, such as department of Human Resources, Controllers Office services, and rent. We have six f. T. E. S with the Directors Office vacant since march of this year, and we have an open grant funded position that youre not seeing in this chart, just vacated last week that were working on filling quickly. We, like all City Departments were instructed to propose a 10 reduction. We proposed initial reductions amounting to 959,000 annually, and this was an across the board proposed reduction of almost 12 to our communitybased grant fees. Realizing the impact of these grant fees to the vulnerable populations and the populations these serve, the Mayors Office asked us to submit some lower alternative reduction scenarios. The Mayors Service accepted our approximately 7 reduction, which would come from the departments genderbased balance intervention program.

Mr. Biden good afternoon. Im here today to talk about infrastructure and jobs and our clean energy future, but i have to start by speaking about what millions of americans know when they wake up every morning with worry, anxiety, and fear. Were still a country in crisis. The pandemic has affected more than 3 million americans. It has cost more than 135,000 lives and climbing, and it shows no signs of slowing down. In just the last few days, 19 states 19 states reported record cases, including florida, which saw more than 15,000 new cases in a single day. Hospitalizations and deaths, two of the most concerning indicators of trumps failed response, are already unacceptably high, and they are rising. Its gotten bad enough that even donald trump finally decided to wear a mask in public. Im glad he made the shift. But mr. President , its not enough. We wont be able to turn the corner and get the American People back to work safely without president ial leadership. Mr. President , open every
In climbing and shows no signs of slowing down. And just the last few days 19 states, 19 states reported record cases, including florida which sought more than 15000 new cases in a single day. Hospitalizations and deaths to the most concerning indicators of trumps failed response are already high and they are rising. It has gotten bad enough that even donald trump finally decided to wear a mask in public and im glad he made the shift. Mr. President is not enough. We wont be able to turn the corner and get American People back to work safely without president ial leadership. Mr. President , open everything now isnt a strategy for success. It is barely a slogan. Quit pushing the false choice between protecting our health, protecting our economy. All it does is endanger our recovery on both fronts and mr. President , please listen to your Public Health experts instead of denigrating them. Do your job, mr. President because if we cant deal with the Public Health crisis we cant deal with th
