daniel faxon. newman. michael. >> i'm here to support nicklas and his endeavor to acquire even a minimum of 20% or 30% access to sell alcoholic beverages. i've known him 18 years. i've seen his other stores, his customers. he keeps a clean place. it's safe. he employs locals. you never feel there's any loitering or graffiti on any of his businesses. he immediately tidies them up. there are a lot of liquor outlets in our neighborhood, but they seem to be springing up all the time. and he, who has an established relationship with all the other businesses in the neighborhood, can't seem to get that little kick, which he needs. because just the selling of cigarettes or lottery tickets or gum is just not enough to cut it. anyway, thank you. president miguel: thank you. newman, michael, shawn. >> i'm michael, but i'm on the next item, item 13. president miguel: excuse me. >> i'm shawn, i own a few properties within a block of the proposed liquor store. this is the third time i've been here over so many years. wh
