7:45 am
howard you should do because there's so many rules and regulations when it comes to the dispute is over was and land chloe. you can play a mediating role. she's not from an issue and can stay out of the island internal politics. she manages the islands co op, which was set up in 1971 and is owned by the families. it turns money from selling fuel and pause and reinvest back into the community. every island comedy only has one vote, each on decisions affecting the only let the job requires chloe's clarity, diplomacy and dexterity. i want to work for the lines and make sure it's the best place for them to live on for young people to come back to the island to say chloe's understanding of mainland politics means modernization. she's been able to pressure to sort of these to help access you on national funds for an issue. we're
