her name is lynn gavin. she is now running for office.would like to submit my -- [tone] comment for the record. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i may be a familiar face. my name is tracy lemon. i am an employment attorney and i have been a friend of ross and work on his campaigns for the last eight years. i knew him as a good, honest, hard-working man and very capable as a political officer. i am outraged at the mayor's abuse of discretion and abuse of power to attempt to remove a democratically elected official without pay, pending a five- month investigation and hearing. who knew it was going to be five months? baker have been five months, eight months, but it is -- it could have been five months, eight months, but it is very undemocratic. to start an elected official and deny him of the ability to ñ while he is still presumed innocent. it is outrageous for the mayor to have unfettered discretion to remove an official based on the standards that you have identified and discussed today. i think that gives him too much credit
