i had the pleasure of knowing my kathleen dooley for ten years now. i got to know her when i was the secretary of the small business commission, and i found miss dooley to be one of the most informed, one of the most caring, and one of the most engaged commissioners on the commission. over the past several years, i've transitioned into a new career in the cannabis industry, and over the last several months, as your board debated the cannabis regulations and her commission also chimed in on the cannabis regulations, i was very impressed with her level of engagement, the hours that she spent with myself and others learning about the regulations, becoming immersed in the industry, really going the extra mile, and it was reflected in her knowledge at the commission meetings, and her understanding of the industry and the recommendations that she made, which i appreciated, so i speak very highly of her, and i would support her appointment, and i appreciate your consideration today. thank you so much. >> supervisor safai: thank you. any -- oh, mr. cuara. >>
