>> discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote.
>> thank you all very much.
>> thank you.
>> by the way you didn't have much to say, but what you said you said eloquently.
>> I think the new chief ought to at least put his face on the television to folks can see who he is -- who he actually is, I mean --
>> [laughter] you need to come up. Chief deputy. And danny introduce him to the public. Say hey here he is. Present him.
>> first of all, I want to say to the judge and the Commissioners court thank you very much for the passing of the item. I think that it speaks, the h.r. Person did speak well of my chief. He does bring a lot to the table. I will let him speak, also. But also he's a people's person and that's what we need to move the precinct office to another level. The credentials speak for itself. But he's coming on and like the reason we brought it is because he's not as compatible to the other chief deputies, but close to it. In the near future hope we can get there. I introduce you to my new chief,.
>> thank you, constable.
