00:00Hi there.

00:01What's happening?

00:02How are you?

00:03Good.

00:04So, sorry, now I'm, like, forgetting what I was going to say.

00:08Tomorrow, you're going to D.C., wondering if you're going to meet with President Trump,

00:12anyone in his administration during the trip, and, yeah, that's pretty much it.

00:17Yeah.

00:18Any time we go to D.C., we try to maximize our opportunity.

00:22Deputy Mayor Raspberry is coordinating my schedule, and she'll give it to me probably

00:26later on this afternoon.

00:27But we try to, while we're there, we want to advocate on behalf of our team, and I know

00:34Tiffany, D.M. Raspberry, normally get the information out, and we put the schedule out the night

00:38before.

00:39Mr. Mayor, how are you doing?

00:41Good.

00:42How are you?

00:43Good.

00:44I wanted to check in on a story we wrote about $11.99.

00:47We did an investigation that found the union fund was being used by the president, George

00:52Grisham, for a lot of improper purposes, like family gatherings and sort of underwriting costs

00:57that had nothing to do with the union.

00:58I'm just curious if you were familiar with the story.

01:00I know you're an advocate for labor.

01:03Does that concern you at all, that this fund is being used in this way?

01:07I read the story, and I think the union leadership and representation, they understand what they

01:16do and how they do it.

01:18And I am a strong believer in unions.

01:20But I think that the union could tell you and answer the questions.

01:25I'm not the spokesperson for the union.

01:26I don't speak on behalf of the union.

01:28And I don't have the full details of how the union is carrying out their business.

01:33So it really would be unfair for me to talk about how to do their internal policies.

01:37That's what I think.

01:54And that's what I think.

01:55I think that's what I think it's important.
