Qualitative view. They did not do a baseline before.

If you have ever waited in line at the market, 10, 20 deep, the l...

Merchants that rely on sale to support their family. I am happy that supervisor walton said well have a working group and i would love to be a part of that, because i think district 5 and i think district 3 has the most of those mom and pop stores that sell this and so, i want to be at the table.
