I represent 3% of the population. Alicia garcia is a single parent mother for 21 years her home had not had a septic tank. It's good to hear that you just passed something in support of that.

And the -- the strong sentiment that I was -- that I faced when I -- when I put a name on the paper and worried after I did, that this single parent mother might be done like the -- like the three black people were done. Just because they didn't have a septic tank. It's real important. Thank for you letting me have three minute and a half.

>> thanks for coming down.
