they shouldn't be around these things. We all know that it is a health problem no matter what Corp. Counsel said. Corp. Counsel is there to help profligate the County. I'm telling you guys. These guys can come in here and say since 1996, why? Give us an answer. Sir, did you say your name was, what his name was Corey Shaffer maybe? [Turning to Mr. Grodzin in the audience.] Is that your name? GRODZIN (from audience): No, I work with Corey MEDEIROS: Okay, I spoke to Corey Shaffer. You know, I have about one minute plus three, so here's the thing. Why can't you folks get the FCC, you folks get the FCC to upgrade all that information. You guys have that power. You're the Planning Commission. Help put things into legislation. The least you guys can do. Help us. I mean, I'm worried about your mo`opuna-s, your mo `opuna-s, your mo `opuna-s, your mo `opuna-s, your kids, your mo `opuna-s, your kids [pointing to each Commissioner, Director Yee, and Ms. Hall].
