“I thank the gentleman. I now yield to my friend and colleague, Representative Mike Honda, from the 17th District. I know you, Mr. Honda, have been a former school principal. You have been in local government as a county supervisor, I think, of Santa Clara County. You have served in this body, I think, since 1996.
