Thank you, Madam President. Madam President, for many months or years, it seems like forever, a young man has been here. As you know, we're fortunate to have WHAT Radio broadcast our Council sessions. But a success story: For many years a producer of the Mary Mason Program, in my opinion the Dean of talk radio, is Albert Butler. Al Butler is the guy that makes it sound good throughout the City of Philadelphia, next week, Albert Butler shifts gears and he becomes a talk show host at WHAT every day from 9:00 to 1:00. So I think from producer of a show to a talk show host, he really needs a big round of applause. (Applause.)
Are there any other speeches on the part of the Minority? (No response.)
