From the transcript
Lastly, I would just say with respect to the tools of the current administration, I think that all roads lead to progress, but that from a vantage point of really taking on the challenge of meeting the implementation moment, meets the vision of those who thought these were great ideas at the past, when there was vision, we're at that implementation stage now. Thank you.. And I, and we welcome, I think, the administration's all the various tools that they can lean in on. But I just wanted to really clarify, this is really old language that we're bringing to implementation, and Anchorage seems to have a problem where the rubber meets the road. That's where we often seem to not be able to get past, but I recognize that this body has been committed to getting past the implementation snafu that we often find in our community, piece by piece, and this is the next attempt.
