I DIDN'T KNOW IF EVERYBODY WAS AWARE.
AND THIS IS OUR YEAR TO CONTINUE IT.
AND SO THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSIONS AS TO WHAT EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS CAN BE PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC AND WHAT THE BOARD CAN ACTUALLY SAY TO THE PUBLIC.
AND I KNOW THAT THE BOARD CANNOT, AS A PUBLIC ENTITY, UM, GIVE AN OPINION AS TO WHAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD DO, THAT YOU AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN CAN GIVE A REPRESENTATION, BUT YOU CANNOT ADVOCATE AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD FOR A PARTICULAR OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION.
AND SO, UH, YOU NEED TO JUST, AND, AND I WOULD EVEN BE CAREFUL AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN SINCE YOU DO HAVE THE, YOU KNOW, SINCE YOU'RE ON THE BOARD FOR THIS FIRE CONTROL DISTRICT.
