What board members said, in order

Are there any questions or comments? I just have a question about, um, we, we know how detrimental lead is to the brain development. Um, uh, and I, I know we had the presentation before, but so we have to mitigate this. We have to take care of it. Probably no funding. Is that correct?Traci Mitchell · President53:43
