So when you think of public safety, basic things like street lights.
We've had a rash, like many other cities, of copper theft.
And so now pushing that furthers our environmental goals of changing from copper to solar.
And I just announced a program a couple of days ago to replace 60,000 copper wire lights with solar lights.
What the city had been doing for years and years is just replacing copper lights with copper lights that continue to be stolen.
So basic quality of life, basic city services, homelessness, public safety, the things that I have worked on that we have made absolute objective progress in.
I want to continue and take it across the finish line.
Thank you for having me on.

Bass says she's in touch with the Chavez family and they support the renaming decision.

I think that decision was unfortunate.
I don't support the decision.
My opinion is that he should step down.
