Mayor Johnson. Great. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. And good morning, everybody. It's so great to see everybody. I was just sharing a story of kind of like a war story, I feel like, with Reggie, about the last time that I was in this room, we were having discussions around Act 12 and the necessity to do that in order to make sure that the City of Milwaukee was able to stay on firm financial footing, providing services that all of us in this room, even beyond the folks who visit Milwaukee, need here in the city. So I'm extremely grateful to be back. I'm glad it's not under as much stress as we had then. So it's really great to be here. (00:07–00:37)
