Emilio Gonzalez

I've already said that I'm going to chair the commission.

And not only am I going to chair the commission, I'm going to let anybody speak about anything they want.

Not, hey, if it's not on the agenda, be quiet and go home.

No.

You want a minute to talk about something that's not on the agenda, knock yourself out.

That's what a representative democracy stands for.

And that's not what we've had in the past.

By the way, I want to have Saturday meetings.

In fact, I'm thinking my first meeting will be on a Saturday just to break the mold.

People can show up.

Right now they have to juggle.

Do I go to the meeting?

Do I go to work?

Am I going to get fired?

Sometimes you show up at a meeting and then they cancel the meeting or they don't want to hear your item or that's deferred when you any number of things.

So, again, I want to do things differently.

And the other thing is, as you've heard me say in Spanish, you know, the idea that you can get away with just about anything and you're OK, you'll still have a job.

No, just because it's not criminal doesn't mean I won't fire you.

Okay?

If you are behaving in a way that is unprofessional, if you are abusing a resident, if you are taking advantage of your position, even if it's not criminal, you're gone.
