There are two callers. First speaker, please. So, again, commissioners, this pandemic, as you can see, very few people want to participate in any of these major projects. So we leave it to you, our representatives, to do Due Diligence based on third street, which is a mess, the central subway, we are waiting for the opening, the van ness bus rapid transit, the businesses that needed to be helped have gone. And we havent learned anything what happened on Market Street before. We always dont seem to learn something from the past projects and we dont seem to have a checklist. We just live it to become project managers, who are not really project managers, because they cant do a needs assessment. And then we love to have our fire chats, the Public Comment period, where we allow them a couple of minutes and you dont seem to be paying attention to us. Its going to come to bite you all in the back. Supervisor peskin next speaker, please. Thank you, caller. Your two minutes begins now. Thank y

Callahan. In a unique partnership tonight, we are working together with the Portland Press harold and the Bangor Daily News to get you the answers you need to cast your ballot. Coincidentally, this first meeting of the candidates falls on the 19th anniversary of the 9 11 terror attacks, a day when we remember the heroes and honor the lives lost. It is also a day when americans feel even more patriotic than they usually do, and part of our civic duty is to make informed choices on election day. We want to help you do that, so we are going to be asking questions for the four candidates. The incumbent is republican Susan Collins, seeking election to a fifth term. The democrat is speaker of the main house, sara gideon. There are two independents, max linn and lisa savage, who belongs to the green independent party, but is not running as a Party Candidate on the ballot. There has been plenty of heat in the campaign.
