Runoff Season in Opelousas

[00:00:00] Speaker A: What's up, my friends, Romans, countrymen, we're here to talk about the election, actually. What happened in the election. November 3rd has passed and we have the results. We're going to walk through them real fast in today's episode. Enjoy, Enjoy our time together and talking about the future of Opelousas and St Landry parish in Louisiana. Concentric circles. [00:00:23] Speaker B: Yep. [00:00:23] Speaker A: I'm Stuart Ammon. With me is David Riley. Hi, David. [00:00:27] Speaker B: Hello. [00:00:27] Speaker A: Good to see you. Let's talk first about the Senators race. Jamie Davis is not the guy. [00:00:35] Speaker B: Yep. [00:00:36] Speaker A: Jamie Davis is not the guy. You know, Let Low pulled it out way tighter than I thought she would. I thought it was going to be a lot more margin than that. [00:00:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Honestly, in the end, I wasn't. I wasn't too surprised. [00:00:46] Speaker A: You weren't really high turnout, though. Like nearly 50% turnout. That's high turnout. [00:00:52] Speaker B: Yeah, the turnout was surprisingly high. And [00:00:55] Speaker A: Normally it's like 30. [00:00:57] Speaker B: Yeah, man. And I mean, the Democrats fought for it. [00:00:59] Speaker A: Oh, I was getting texts all day long. I'm not a Democrat, but for some reason, I always land on their text message change. I think people are pranking me. I think that's what happens. They, like put me on the text message change with the. With the Democrats. They're just messing with [00:01:11] Speaker B: me. That could be. [00:01:12] Speaker A: Yeah. So. But I kept getting blown up with that. But yeah, Jamie Davis, he even didn't really carry St. Landry Parish that much either. He only got 52% in St. Andrew Parish, which is very much a blue state or parish. [00:01:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Early, you know, at least the parish seat, Opelous, is very, very, very blue. Well, [00:01:29] Speaker A: in a lot of the outlying areas, too. [00:01:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:01:32] Speaker A: So interesting, Interesting. But yeah, no, not Jamie Davis. Not the secret socialist of Jamie Davis, but rather we are Julia Letlowing. [00:01:41] Speaker B: Yep. [00:01:42] Speaker A: Julia Letlowing again. I wonder how that's going to go. I don't know. All right, let's move on. Let's talk about City Marshall, City of Opelousis. So it was Bruce Alcindor, Paul Mouton, Easton, Shelvin. So now we're in the position. It was really tight between these three guys, actually. [00:01:58] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Bruce, [00:01:59] Speaker A: Paul. So Paul's the incumbent and then Easton has worked in the marshal's office for a long time. And then Bruce has not worked in Marshall, but he's worked in other areas. [00:02:11] Speaker B: Got it. [00:02:12] Speaker A: Okay. I actually know Bruce in Easton. I don't know Paul, but a really, really tight race split three ways almost. They each got 30%, 31, 33 and 35. [00:02:22] Speaker B: Yeah. That's crazy. [00:02:23] Speaker A: So the runoff is going to be between Paul and Easton. And I mean, I think Easton's got it. I think that's [00:02:27] Speaker B: Easton. Even though Paul got slightly. A slightly higher percentage in the initial election. [00:02:31] Speaker A: No, I think Easton's got it. Okay. I think Easton's got it. Yeah. Because who's he going to sway? He's going to sway some of Bruce's voters. I mean, I think. I think Easton's the guy in the seat. Got [00:02:40] Speaker B: it. [00:02:40] Speaker A: I think it's [00:02:40] Speaker B: done. [00:02:42] Speaker A: You know, could be wrong. I did not see one of our outcomes coming at all. And we'll talk about that in a little bit later on. What's [00:02:52] Speaker B: you're talking. Can I guess what you're talking about? [00:02:53] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. I did not see. I did not see the mayor's race. I did not see it coming. I was like, wow. Wow. I am completely surprised. But we'll talk about that a little bit. Let's talk about it now. Why not? Mayor for the city of Opelousas, the dark horse out in front. I didn't see this coming at all. Keenan Lamb, 23% of the total vote, though. The leader, 1100 votes. [00:03:22] Speaker B: Yeah. And the runoff will be between him and Julius. Him [00:03:25] Speaker A: and Julius, [00:03:26] Speaker B: who got 19% to Keenan's 23%. [00:03:29] Speaker A: And I got to tell you, again, I think Keenan's got it. [00:03:33] Speaker B: I think so. I [00:03:34] Speaker A: think he's got it. [00:03:35] Speaker B: I think so. [00:03:35] Speaker A: Because I think a lot of the people who are voting for somebody other than Keenan are voting for. Not Julius. Julius. [00:03:41] Speaker B: Right, right, right. I would imagine that Kenan's gonna get more of the Albert Guillory or other votes probably than Julius. [00:03:50] Speaker A: Yeah. One of the things that was interesting, we were talking about with some of my friends who are really much more connected to Opelousa's politics than I am, they were saying, watch out for Donald Broussard, because he's got some resources, he's got some backing, he's spending some money on the campaign. He didn't do very well. And this is something that I've seen historically happened several times. There's a lot of folks who will go into campaigns and they'll be spending. They'll be big spenders, and they think that the spending is going to equate vote turnout. But that's just not the way Opelous politics works, man. [00:04:20] Speaker B: Right. You [00:04:21] Speaker A: got to go meet people. [00:04:22] Speaker B: Yeah. At the national level, those numbers seem to line up more when you're doing massive campaigns and stuff like that. But, yeah, at the local level, it doesn't seem to work as well. [00:04:30] Speaker A: Not here. Yeah. No. So city of Opelousa. It's going to be between Kenan Lamb and Julius Alcindor. And, I mean, like I said, I think Kenan's got it. [00:04:39] Speaker B: Yeah, we've [00:04:39] Speaker A: actually invited. We've invited Kenan to come on the podcast. [00:04:42] Speaker B: Yeah, that'd be [00:04:43] Speaker A: fun. So somebody gave me his cell phone number. Keenan, if you're listening to this, I'm sorry that I just texted you out of the blue. Hopefully that wasn't offensive, and maybe you can come on the podcast and we can talk about it and rights of privacy. Yeah, no, [00:05:01] Speaker B: that'd be great. We'd love to get to know him and [00:05:03] Speaker A: chat it up, [00:05:03] Speaker B: ask him some questions. [00:05:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Understand a little bit more about what he's got. Let's talk about the Chief of police race. Bruh. Bruh. This was impressive, honestly. Okay, so it's Greg LeBlanc, current incumbent chief of police, dealing with all the stuff that he stepped in over the course of the last three years with the infidelity with his wife, with the gunplay thing that was going on. With all of that, he still pulls out in front. Dude still got 47%. The majority of the vote. Didn't get more than 50. Was an outright win. [00:05:44] Speaker B: So not the majority, but he got the most. [00:05:46] Speaker A: Well, I mean, the majority of the three. He got the most of the three. I'm sorry, am I using the wrong word? You [00:05:51] Speaker B: are, and I will always point that out. But, yeah. So, yeah, Yolanda Lewis and Greg LeBlanc. That's it. The runoff. [00:06:01] Speaker A: That's. That's what's coming now. Each of them. So Yolanda has actually agreed to come on the pod. [00:06:07] Speaker B: That's right. [00:06:08] Speaker A: So she texted me. So we invited Yolanda to come chat, and she. She's agreed to come on the pod. So we're going to see how well that shakes out over the next little while. She said she's going to text me back at some point this afternoon and we'll line out. [00:06:19] Speaker B: We got a little time. The early voting starts on the 28th of this month. 28th of November. So that's like the Saturday, I think, after Thanksgiving. And the official election date is the 12th of December. Okay. So everybody knows. And we don't forget to say that. [00:06:34] Speaker A: Yeah. 12th of December. Early voting starts. [00:06:36] Speaker B: 28th of November. [00:06:37] Speaker A: 28th of November. Okay, so you guys got time. Mark it down. Mark it down. It's gonna be interesting for me to see how these things go. I think Yolanda's got it. I think it's Yolanda's opportunity to lose. Now, I will say if anybody knows how to pound the streets effectively, it's twin. Like that dude knows how to neighborhood campaign. I've seen him do it. He knows what to do. He knows how to pull the strings. I'm not saying the fight's over for Yolanda, but I think she's got it. I think that if she just plays her cards well, she'll get it. Now, the downside here is that they both currently have pending investigations. Now, I think Yolanda's was improper use of a computer to look up records. Isn't that the case? She was looking up records. [00:07:22] Speaker B: Yeah, that was the. Yeah. And there were a few. A few people in law enforcement that were kind of included in that. Yeah, that charge. [00:07:29] Speaker A: A lot of different things. Twins, obviously, are worse. Considerably worse. [00:07:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I don't think that's a very controversial thing to say. [00:07:39] Speaker A: I don't think so either. [00:07:40] Speaker B: Yeah. And we've talked about that before. [00:07:41] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So Yolanda Lewis, twin. I think Yolanda's got it. Let's see if we're right. You want to talk about alderman council members, we'll talk about that. [00:07:51] Speaker B: I mean, yeah, we can if you just want to go through them. To be honest, I don't. I don't know a lot about all of these candidates. Oh, okay. But if you know more. Yeah, [00:07:59] Speaker A: we can talk about them. [00:07:59] Speaker B: Please enlighten [00:08:00] Speaker A: us. So, alderman at large. So this is interesting. Marvin Richard has had this seat locked up for a long time. Like, the whole time I've been living here, Marvin Richard has been the alderman at large. It looks like he's got a fight ahead of him here. Looks like he's got some people who are trying to push him out. Yeah, [00:08:18] Speaker B: yeah. And they both got the same number of the same percentage of votes in the initial election. I mean, that's 5%, 45%. [00:08:24] Speaker A: That's a razor thin margin of what, 15 votes, actually, 15 between the two of them. Yeah. So that whoever's voting for Ron Jackson, like, that's. They're going to be fighting over those. So we'll see how that winds up shaking out for them. And then we've got John Gilbeau, Rachel Reed, and Vanessa Brown. So, Stan. So this is interesting. So Gilbo is the incumbent, but he has not gotten enough to hold the seat. Rachel Reed, social media. Local social media personality Rachel Reed. She's actually blocked us on Facebook. [00:09:02] Speaker B: She might have been the first. [00:09:03] Speaker A: She. I think she was the first actually to block us. I think she actually was the first. But. So she might actually pull this off. So we'll see what actually winds up cutting down with this race. I'm. I'm not sure, honestly, to really know enough to be able to call this. [00:09:18] Speaker B: I had to put money on it. I'd probably say that John Gilbo probably got it. You got. He got a little bit more of the vote in the initial election. Got [00:09:26] Speaker A: a little bit more. [00:09:26] Speaker B: And I think in a runoff it'll probably be him. But. But who knows? [00:09:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Runoffs have historically low turnout. This is part of the dice roll that we're into. Like, we might be looking. We might go from a nearly half, like a nearly 50 voter turnout to like 20 or lower. [00:09:42] Speaker B: Sure. Yeah. [00:09:42] Speaker A: Because runoffs. Just less people go because the. Because the Senate and the congressional and the amendments, they're not on the dick. They're not on the ticket. Yep. So less people turn out [00:09:51] Speaker B: and. And someone already like drove from their house to the place once and stood in line and did all the stuff and they're [00:09:57] Speaker A: like, now I have to do it again. [00:09:58] Speaker B: Yeah, [00:09:59] Speaker A: I already put my vote in. Just count it a second time. [00:10:01] Speaker B: I think that honestly is part of it. [00:10:05] Speaker A: District B. Oh, sorry. Go ahead, [00:10:07] Speaker B: say. But go vote. [00:10:08] Speaker A: Go vote. You should vote. You should vote. Also. Early voting is where it's at. Can I just say, early voting is where it's at. Man, don't go to the polls the day of. [00:10:18] Speaker B: Wait, wait. Didn't you, didn't you try to early vote? And it was like way too long of a line. I [00:10:22] Speaker A: don't want to talk about that right now. Listen, this is what you do. I have [00:10:25] Speaker B: election day and there was no line. [00:10:26] Speaker A: I have my tactics perfected. Just listen. Just listen. The problem was that I waited until the last possible second, [00:10:33] Speaker B: like 5pm on. I don't [00:10:35] Speaker A: want to just say that doesn't [00:10:37] Speaker B: really count as early voting. [00:10:41] Speaker A: But listen, but listen. Early voting, if you actually vote early, it's really great. Walk in there. It's more casual. Get to visit with people, you know, hang out, chat it up. It's a nice vibe. The day of vote, man, that's demanding. Anyway, so delete a. Broussard is looking like she's going to be pulling out again. She got the majority of the District B votes. She's going to be running A. She's going to be going down to a runoff with Charles Tyler. We'll see what winds up going on with that. Charles Cummings wins his district hands down, which Is not surprising. Charles is. I know Charles. Good guy. Works hard for the job. I can't imagine. I'm always impressed that people would want to do this, you know, like, they want these jobs. And I guess I'm grateful. It is very much a civil service type situation. We need good civil services. Civil servants who are ready to serve and do things well. So shout out Charles. He's actually not. I'm not in any of these districts because I technically live outside of the city limits. But, you know, Charles is in there. I think he's working hard. I think he's trying for doing some good stuff. District D, Cherelle Roberts got put out. Shirel Roberts has been in that seat for a little while. Yeah. [00:12:01] Speaker B: Surprised by that. [00:12:02] Speaker A: Now it's gonna be Madeline Rosette. I will say Madeline has been working hard, though. From what I've seen from her, she's been working hard. As far as campaigning goes. She made a point to come up to me and visit with me the other day. I saw her at a meeting, and so we got to chat for a little bit. So. But. Yeah. But Madeleine won. And she won by a lot. Okay. At least as far as percentage goes. Obviously in the district, there's only 800 votes or so. But as far as the district goes, she came out well. District E, Chastity Davis holds on. She's still got that thing going moving forward from there. But. Yeah. And so. And there we are. City council as it stands, Mayor as it stands. Marshall as it stands. And we're going to see what winds up coming. But. Yeah. Chassis Davis run out. Right. No runoff there. So you've got runoff elections coming up. You guys. The next we bit. [00:12:46] Speaker B: We. There was another house representatives election that we didn't talk about that affects our area. [00:12:55] Speaker A: Which one? Which one? [00:12:56] Speaker B: Clay Higgins. [00:12:57] Speaker A: Oh, is he still the guy? Yeah, [00:13:00] Speaker B: he's. [00:13:01] Speaker A: Clay still the guy. Oh, wow. He's the guy by a [00:13:03] Speaker B: lot. Yeah. It wasn't even close. He was. He got 55% of the vote. And I forget what. You probably have it up in front of you, but whatever second place was. Wasn't even. Wasn't even very close. Yeah. At all. Yeah. Yep. [00:13:14] Speaker A: Cool. [00:13:15] Speaker B: He's back. [00:13:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Do you want to walk through the amendments or. We people can figure that out on their own. [00:13:20] Speaker B: Yeah. I. I did look at it as it was coming in. I don't. I don't have it up in front of me now, but I could pull it up here. Most of the things that we recommended were. I think [00:13:30] Speaker A: were picked up. [00:13:31] Speaker B: Were picked up. There were a couple. I think there were two that went. Went differently than what we maybe had hoped for, though. Again, like we said in that episode, a lot of these amendments seem pretty vanilla. Maybe the most significant one, though, that did not go the way that we had at least mildly hoped was the term limits. So I believe the term limit amendment did pass. [00:14:00] Speaker A: I think you're right. [00:14:02] Speaker B: I'm pulling it right now. [00:14:08] Speaker A: Yeah, the term limits did pass. Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking at it. Yeah. But see, that's interesting because after our episode, I did a little digging and it was put forth by a Republican. Okay. And the scuttlebutt is that they're trying to keep John Bel Edwards out of office from running for another election. [00:14:24] Speaker B: That actually makes a lot of sense. Now, I'm not saying that I approve of that. I'm just saying that if you're just playing the game of politics, if someone was going to come back in, in the next governor election with a chance of, you know, winning and [00:14:44] Speaker A: going blue again [00:14:45] Speaker B: from the. Yeah, from the blue side, I think John Bel Edwards would be the obvious candidate. [00:14:50] Speaker A: Well, and the tight. The tight race between Letlow and Davis, you know, with just a few percent sure. Which [00:14:57] Speaker B: like. Well, it was literally like 51 to 49. Yeah, [00:15:01] Speaker A: it was really, really tight. But the interesting piece of that campaign demonstrates that how conservative statewide Democrats have to portray themselves in order to get somebody that close. Like, Louisiana is a red state. The Democrats have to pretend to be red to try and get big state, have to get [00:15:27] Speaker B: pro second Amendment farmer to even kind of get a chance. [00:15:31] Speaker A: Well, and let me be perfectly clear though, everybody knows that once that guy is in the Senate seat or somebody is in the congressional seat, they might present themselves as one way on the state level, but they're going to vote party lines. Once they get to D.C. they're gonna like. That's how it cuts, man. I sat with one of the guys from one of the state lobbying groups not too long ago, and whenever he and I were talking about it. So somehow Jamie Davis had snuck himself in as a category of someone who leans liberal, not somebody who is liberal. They lean liberal in one of these, like, voter guide listings. Sure. Yeah. And the guy was like, he's gonna vote with the Democrats. He's gonna vote Democrat when he gets to D.C. that's something that we gotta remember here. What we're doing when we send a senator is we're sending somebody who's gonna vote. Whatever the party line is. It's just how it goes. You can't ship those guys out there and be like, yeah, well, he's pro Second Amendment. Okay, let's see what happens whenever the 2A stuff actually gets on the Senate ballot. [00:16:29] Speaker B: Right. And he gets some pressure. [00:16:31] Speaker A: He also has no. Yeah, he has no voting record proven because he's brand new to the game. So somebody can't look at his history and say, let's see what this guy did before. But it is encouraging to me to see how. How much they got, how they still didn't win. Even though they pushed just about, I would say, as far red as they possibly could with a candidate, they still didn't get it. [00:16:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. And they were pulling out all the stops like we talked about earlier. [00:16:55] Speaker A: Yeah, it was a lot. [00:16:58] Speaker B: Yep. What do you think about the. What do you think about the 17th Amendment, Stuart, which is the direct election of senators. So did you know that before 1913ish, all senators were selected by the state legislatures? [00:17:20] Speaker A: Really? [00:17:20] Speaker B: Yeah. So this is one of those. This is one of those few amendments that was passed through with the arrival of Woodrow Wilson in Aldemond. But yeah, you know, so anyway, before that, we had a. And it kind of fit our structure as a republic. Our state legislatures kind of a more. It was a closer to the people representative government. They were the ones that selected who would go to the federal government as the representatives of the state. That make sense [00:17:55] Speaker A: like a true federal government. [00:17:57] Speaker B: Like [00:17:57] Speaker A: an actual federal representative. [00:17:59] Speaker B: But yeah, in 1913, the 17th Amendment made it so that those elections occurred from a direct vote of the people. [00:18:08] Speaker A: You know, I don't really know what I think about that. I probably just by default would say I might choose the older option than the newer option because I think those guys might have had a different plan in mind. So Congress is elected by the people, and then the senators are elected by Congress. [00:18:30] Speaker B: Right. At the state level. That's what you're saying. Yeah. The state legislature would select. Yeah, [00:18:34] Speaker A: that's a true representative government. [00:18:36] Speaker B: Right. [00:18:36] Speaker A: That sounds like a federal. It's like a true federalistic government. [00:18:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. It's a good. It's like. It's just a reminder. That was a little over 100 years ago. But the. Our nation was set up as a. As a true republic. [00:18:50] Speaker A: Yes. [00:18:50] Speaker B: A representative government, not a democracy in the sense that everybody gets to vote on it. [00:18:56] Speaker A: Oh, and there's the difference between the two. Wow. That's right. That's very true. There's a very distinct difference between those two pieces. One is a Demos and the other is power [00:19:06] Speaker B: of the people. [00:19:07] Speaker A: Yeah, a republic. Wow. Fascinating. Okay, [00:19:10] Speaker B: yeah. So I'd say, well, there's nothing because there are other forms of direct. Well, I say that. I mean, we have the Electoral college. We really. Besides the House of Representatives, we actually don't have a direct election. We didn't have a direct election in our nation until the passage of the 17th Amendment outside of the House of Representatives. So presidents are elected indirectly by the electoral college and the senators were appointed by state legislatures. But we've been moving more in a flattened, pure, pure democracy, which the reason our founders didn't set it up initially that way was for the reason of there is such a thing as mob rule or fads and movements that can sweep across a people and stir people up in a particular way, even if it's not good or right. But what kind of pure democracy advocates would say is that if the people want it, it is inherently good anyway, the structure was a protection against some of that while still giving people a voice on who their representatives are. [00:20:25] Speaker A: Interesting, man. Yeah. You just don't think about these kind of implications anymore. We need a good school of political thought, again, like a good Christian school of political thought. We don't really have this. Right. Like, I can't think of any. [00:20:39] Speaker B: By school you mean a literal school where people go and learn, [00:20:42] Speaker A: or [00:20:42] Speaker B: more of a philosophical camp? [00:20:44] Speaker A: No, I'm sorry, yeah, that's not helpful. No, I mean an actual education, like somewhere where people can go and learn. This is the way that the systems of government were set up. I see what your next series of history lectures is going to be on already, Dave. I'm already looking at it. A place where people can go. This is the types of governments that were set up and this is why. And here's the philosophical backing behind each thing. I mean, obviously, whenever you put it that way, whenever you say the flat democracy versus a republic, a federalistic government, my head immediately goes, well, I know the Bible works like a federalistic government. I want a republic. Because that's the way the Bible sets things up to be pure democracy inevitably becomes, I would argue, communist. Socialist. [00:21:27] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. I mean, I forget who initially said it, but I'm sure many people have said it in different ways. When people in a pure. More of a pure form of democracy, when people realize that they can vote themselves benefits, [00:21:39] Speaker A: they'll do it every time. [00:21:40] Speaker B: They will do it every time. You find yourself in $40 trillion of debt and the bureaucrats are pocketing lots of money where the. Thankfully, [00:21:47] Speaker A: thankfully, that's not us. [00:21:49] Speaker B: Never. We would never do that. [00:21:50] Speaker A: That's not. [00:21:51] Speaker B: People are. People are more moral than that. Right, Stuart? That's [00:21:54] Speaker A: right. We're not that much debt. [00:21:56] Speaker B: They would never vote themselves benefits like that. [00:21:57] Speaker A: No, that would never, ever happen, [00:22:00] Speaker B: despite the consequences. [00:22:01] Speaker A: Which one was the one about the people coming to pay to fix your pipes on your land? Identify or remove. Oh, look, that definitely passed. Authorize the use of public funds. That's constitutional amendment number seven. Authorize the use of public funds to identify, inventory, remove or replace certain water lines on private property. Passed overwhelmingly. We would never vote. We would never vote for that. [00:22:28] Speaker B: That was another one that. That I voted against. [00:22:30] Speaker A: Yeah. But here we are, ladies and gentlemen. Here we are. [00:22:32] Speaker B: And there was one more. I forget which one went. That went a different way than what we had hoped. But, [00:22:38] Speaker A: yeah, [00:22:38] Speaker B: it was not a huge deal, I don't think. [00:22:40] Speaker A: No, not too big. Well, guys, that's it. That's your election rundown. If you know Keenan Lamb, we would encourage you to tell him. Hey, come be on the Parish Circuit, and let's talk about the future of Opelousas and St Landry parish while we're here. Also, one more thing before we're done. Shout out to our supporters. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Jude Neely. What? That was the wrong one. [00:23:07] Speaker B: Come on, don't do Jude like this. Yeah, [00:23:10] Speaker A: give it up. There it is. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry, Jude. I pushed the wrong buttons that time. Jude Neely's one of our monthly supporters here at the Purse Circuit, which I'm very impressed with, by the way. He's like, what, 17, 18, [00:23:22] Speaker B: something like that? [00:23:23] Speaker A: 19 years old. He's over here. He's looking off in the distance. He's like, you know what? This kind of pointing the flock cameras at the local government, that's important, and I'm gonna fund it. And he does. He funds every month. So, Jude, shout out. Thanks for that, buddy. Imagine a day, one day, where the Parish Circuit is fully funded, and we're just doing our best to keep the public informed on things that are going on. And we're letting all of our state supervisors know and our state elected officials know. Hey, people are watching. People are watching. Be careful. [00:23:57] Speaker B: Yep. [00:23:57] Speaker A: Wouldn't that be great? [00:23:58] Speaker B: That'd be amazing. [00:23:59] Speaker A: Amazing, guys.
