i wouldn t see this as a negotiating table as much as a conversation. whatever they call it, they need senator joe manchin to vote for their social spending bill. when i speak to senators to try to or house members or governors on or about any other elected official to try to convince them that what i m proposing makes sense and is not inconsistent with what they believe. officials are also making the case they are on top of rising crime rates. we have also worked directly with police departments in areas where they are seeing the highest impact of the crime. the retail threats which we have great concern about. it keeps happening like this weekend in chicago. they have people come break in to your store while there is customers shopping and there are children in there. joe perilo s luxury car dealership was targeted. he is blaming the mayor and state attorney. mayor lightfoot i don t know her and i don t know kim foxx. they probably are good people
