ed sweeney, pamela leaven, tom -- handsome tom -- and most importantly, also, sonya harris, who has provided tremendous support during the course of what i have done and my last year. the challenges are many and constant. those changes will always be moving in a target that is hard to sometimes pin down, but i know that with this commission, the new commission and the new blood, you will be more than able to handle all the adversities and challenges before you. as i began, and i also will end, from where i began, where i said this is a great city and that with each and every effort that you provide in your level of community service, to make this great city even better by the work and devotion that you do. thank you very much. >> i want to say thank you very much for the certificate. becoming a dbi commissioner was an honor for me. i was delighted to serve two years as president. commissioner walker said to me, i think my first meeting, she said, "i love to have an irish man sitting beside me."
