Kim has made a month eggs to continue. Seconded by supervisor cohen. Supervisor peskin . Councillor peskin colleagues, im rising to speak to both 56 and 57. And without any disrespect to the mayor or supervisors ronen or sheehy, and not to the substance, but to the use of an emergency exemption, and if you read section 6. 60 subsection c which defines what an emergency is, respectfully, this does not meet that test.
