addicted to tobacco are victims, | was one of them. | know people who not only suffered the
consequences of tobacco addiction with disease, but death. And my motives were, you know | had the
best of intention and if trying to save lives, if some people think that’s a waste of time, I’m sorry, | don’t
agree with that. | think it was an effort worth making, I’m sorry it didn’t work, and hopefully our State
Legislators will pass a Law that makes it, that prohibits purchase of tobacco State-Wide. Thank you.

Yes thank. First I’d like to address Alderman Lopez’s concern about the letters that came through. |
did speak to our legislator manager and what we had were letters, not e-mails and she did say she
would put them in as part of the record and the minutes. As far as e-mails that go out to the Full
Board, | don’t have control over that; but there some letters that came in at that last minute that were
left on the desk. So she is doing that for you.

regarding your concerns about the Administrative Services Director’. | went to that meeting and |
watched whoever was chairing it acknowledge that several letters had been received and put them on
the record, but mine was never acknowledge, because | probably didn’t, | guess | had to ask for it. But
it seems to me there are e-mails you are given and you should acknowledge them or they should go
on the record somewhere. It wasn’t as if | didn’t give thoughtful attention to that.
