I want to first thank you both for coming and for your testimony. Thank you for your service to our communities. I'm going to ask very brief questions. I have about four of them here.
What has the neglect of the implementation of the recommendations from the commission report had on communities, in your opinion, Mr. Richard? I'm wondering about the short-term and long-term impacts on our communities. I know that's a very big question, but can you respond in one minute?
