Biologist. We have a large constituency as athletic field, playgrounds, and swimming pools, but it is not organized and consequently is inarticulate and suffers at budget times. The most insects and our greatest biodiversity lies in our grasslands, but they are declining due to inadequate staffing.

We are also helping here to meet a need that ive heard again and again from the Mayors Office of housing one of the meetings i had early on was to go through the pipeline of Housing Project Affordable Housing projects in my district. One of the most frustrating things was there were a number of projects where we already have the land the city owns the land, and i was told that we cant even begin to build on these sites for in some cases six seven eight years from now because we dont have the funding, because we dont yet have enough money available for the Mayors Office of housing in order to start these projects.
