Thank you, and appraisal
Thank you for making that information available to the public.
I have a question for Mr. Van de Vate.

Thank you,
Alan Summers

That's a non sequitir.
The Mayor's office admitted mistakes were made and made adjustments to correct them.
It is unreasonable and unjustified to continue to attack the Mayor's office when they are the only part of County government that has admitted that errors were made in the past and taken actions to resolve them.
part of our duty
