It was a good idea that you used logical reasons from the beginning especially after the story you started about the parents that do not like the trash around there children at school.

I am proud to have such a Mayor who cares about Los Angeles like I do and wants to keep it clean and safe for us and future generations. I believe with the adjustments i told you about, you can improve your speech and wow your audience next time because of your deep voice and solid voice
