I think we ought to eliminate your Council completely, and spend it on somebody who will get out there in the field, who will coordinate.
I can't find that you have done a blessed thing to actually specifically stop an invasive species.

I would just like to direct attention to a robocall that was made on behalf of one of our Republican colleagues down the hall. I really hope that he had nothing to do with it because it was dishonest, reprehensible, played the race card…
