christina was an a student, she was a dancer, she was a gymnast, she was a swimmer. she decided that she wanted to be the first woman to play in the major leagues and as the only girl on her little league team, no one put it past her. (cheers and applause) she showed an appreciation for life uncommon for a girl her age. she'd remind her mother "we are so blessed. we have the best life." and she'd pay those blessings back by participating in a charity that helped children who were less fortunate. our hearts are broken by their sudden passing. our hearts are broken. and yet our hearts also have reason for fullness. our hearts are full of hope and thanks for 13 americans who survived the shooting, including the congresswoman many of them went to see on saturday. i have just come from the university medical center just a mile from here where our friend gabby courageously fights to recover even as we speak. and i want to tell you, her husband mark is here and he allows me to share this with you right after we went to visit a few minutes after we left her room and some of

bridges where she stood, she said we needed to enjoy local higher. i said, "this is music to my ears." as i continued to talk with her, i would say things like, "what about the bicycle plan? as the mta commissioner, you would want to be burst on the bicycle plan." a few hours later, she would forward me the resolution passed unanimously at the board in october, saying 20% bicycle rider ships -- writer -- ridership by 2020. she learns like this. it is a testimony to her intelligence, her fiscal expertise. she is critical in dealing with the budget while having levels of service and like what went down on the 67. she learns quick. i think any issues can probably be resolved out in the hallway, to be honest with you. let us get her there. there is a lot of work to be done at mta. she gets so many aspects of this. she rides a 38 gear almost every day. mta is doing a lot of work. time is of the essence to get the local hiring language in all those contracts as well. supervisor campos: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> my name is gregory reed.
