i can't, i am busy, we have a lot of things on the burner. and you know, this just is not part of what needs to happen right now. and i just truly appreciate that. during such difficult times on your end also. and i also want to deeply thank maralee and the former superintendent and current superintendent carranza for their dedication to working together on so many fronts and for taking this chance on making this happen. and sandy, i don't know if you recall, us sitting in mayor lee's office with the superintendent and david and others and the door kind of being swung open to work together. and to take advantage of what the city has to offer. and that as a school district, we are, this is not our forte, educating the kids are the forte that we should not be in the business of development and we should not feel like we are alone in all of this. and it took a lot of courage for us to come together and which makes me want to just mostly thank young and david and joe for not letting go of this and for allowing me to push on many real estate issue

because i am who i am. but i am not a bully. what i will tell you is that the folks who have worked with me over a long period of time would, i believe, tell you that i'm tough. but i've shown over the last four years and the tone we have set here that i'm willing to compromise, that i'm willing to work with others. and the campaign showed with all of the folks who came from the other side of the aisle to support us, if we weren't willing to have relationships with those folks, it never would have happened that way. i don't believe that, kelly, and i don't believe the body of work in the last four years displayed that. now, in this instance the language used and the conduct displayed in those emails is unacceptable to me. and i will not tolerate it. but the best can i do is when i see stuff like that to end it. and i know that won't satisfy everybody, but i'm not in the business of satisfying everybody. i'm in the business of trying to satisfy the people who elected me governor. michael. >> governor, you stated you're going to i
