Going to go to districts with a city carved up into seven districts. Despite Public Opinion being overwhelmingly against this, or to fight the lawsuit and take on legal uncertainty and financial risk. Burbank is fighting its slavery lawsuit and has set aside 1 million for it, but that may not be enough. Santa monica has spent 9 million, and after years of litigation, the case is still in the courts or three. Find a compromise that both the school board and mr. Rafferty can live with. With mr. Rafferty being open to a compromise and given the other two bad options, it seems like it might be worth having a discussion with him about it. Thank you very much. Thank you. John hi.

Its not to change the world, its to make money. For several years now, Tech Startups worried about growth, expanding into new markets, becoming a household name.
