From the transcript

You know my support of Eagle Crest. Thank you for supporting Eagle Crest. I would like to extend my support to all the other recreational and cultural facilities that have been listed for closure. The process the assembly has used to address the revenue shortfall has been divisive between user groups. I feel all of the facilities make Juneau livable and are needed and should be supported.
