it isn't really [indiscernible] i would like to personally work with gee gee whitley and emily cohen how to streamline a rfp process for agencies trying to apply and the timeline is ridiculous. you have till july 2024 to get awarded so that means we will continue to dispense to put people in services, to find locations that they are not fundsing and funding is a issue when i tell you there are agencies ready to go. so, lived experience, people on top of that need to be added to the commission or board or oversight. you can't have people without lived experience dictating stuff because it is a lot of money wasted and time and effort. we actually have land we can build 11 unit of permanent housing and want the services provided by city and county for extreme mental health so can we have a rfp for that please? can we have a rfq for that? transparency is key. not trying to attack anyone. we have to be real on what the data is to be effective and reduce homeless for real. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. with that madam chair, we have no further speakers. >> thank you,

i will stop there and again joined by gee gee whitley and colleagues from public works and happy to take any questions. >> thank you. i have a lot of questions about this and thank you so much director cohen for having like allowing me time. i have a brief discussion. i also want to articulate the fact this just transfer to the budget committee. it was bouncing around but glad it land here to allow us to have the consurivation. it ties into spending and accountability around spending, and that i think i totally agree that we need to do things more efficient. i think sometimes yes, faster-i don't know if more efficient means always means faster. i just think it is more efficient and deliver service in a timely fashion. i do think that the question again to is there is a civil grand jury report out there. outstanding and i believe that the government audit oversight committee will schedule this thursday for a public hearing and we will go through in greater details. part of it is really talking about both the contracting process that the department of homelessness supportive housing and ho

think on the american side, i think joe biden knows that you count as a side for different reasons, whitley elect, or the reasons in the us. but also the usual is highly reaction to pressure that you can pressure willie each file. so we yes, tried to nudge is kyle, you know i, you have braces high out. i said to class, cover years there and i show to east ohio that i've used best friend in the hold that actually use i had we least said to me, to and, and unfortunately by doing these bumping into 2 upstate goals, one is that actually slightly is not listening to the u. s. as we say, as we see the sir to know in the, in the media gallery operation. and 2nd, is that actually it's very devising in the democratic party anywhere in the us that suddenly, which is quite new. you, we have seen a touch tone bought, i rarely bought off the democratic parties, the left of the democratic party to your do you in particular, you know, suddenly becoming very crazy, very critical off of each child which makes which makes of cultural bi, done very, you know very difficult situation. go cedar reading that we

up to now negative headlines for donald trump frank whitley have helped him. >> i think it could veryell help him. we have something called due process in this country and trump has not even been charged with insurrection let alone convicted of it and i agree with the trump spokesman, this is a case of democrats not trusting the democratic process. democracy is in the way. they don't trust the voters to choose who their nominee is going to be. the arrogance whether it is colorado or maine where you have officials saying we will tell republican voters to the nominee will be. they will not make that determination. and backlash to these efforts. neil: ultimately this goes to the supreme court, they will knock it straight back down. really just trying to make the point that it could backfire. >> we seen a pattern since trump came on the political scene which is democrats criticizing him for breaking norms yet when they go after him they too break norms. trump's political fate should be decided by voters. they don't trust the voters. this is an effort to put the thumb on the scale. ashley:
