But ive always been watching this committee because i not only have lived in district 9 for so long, since 2004, 2005, but also have lived in district 10, since the 90s, so this area and its growth and expansion, and the environmental issues, but also, you know, the transportation issues that have come across between district 10 and district 9 are on the forefront of my mind all of the time, as well as the area my area of expertise, which is education.
