Thank you, Madam President. I will be brief. I was glad to support the resolution by Councilman Cohen this morning in the spirit in this Council and in the spirit of community in the City. There is nothing wrong with talking. This issue of school reform was taken on by many different entities over the last several years: By the Committee of 70, by the Education Summit, by the State Legislature, and by this Council and the voters. When the issues taken up by this Council last year, the original bill, and I can be corrected if I need to be, actually included a ADJOURNMENT provision that require Council to confirm school board members. Council actually had the opportunity at that point to interject itself in the process. I think Council wisely decided take itself out of that process in order to have full accountability in the Office of the Mayor. I'm glad of the action we took today to send a message that we are about community, we are about cooperation; but in the end, I think as you have pointed out also, we really need some sense of accountability in this district if we're going to go to funders and if people are going to take this issue of reform seriously. Thank you.
Thank you. Are there any other speeches on the part of the majority. (No response.)
Seeing none, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Tasco.
