On Graham Plattner, are you satisfied with the explanations he's given for the controversies his campaign has faced right now?
Are you concerned about what we've heard?
So you're saying that Janet Mill is your preferred candidate.
There's been rattlings that she should get back in.
You're standing behind Graham Plattner, to be clear here?
I have no idea.
Pedophile supporting Israeli lobby?
Well, I think the legislature and Assemblymember Wicks took the first measures that we need to get us to that point where we can do is make sure that we are building.
We're building with men and women who are skilled, and we're doing it at a price that we can afford.
And so, as we've seen, if you do infill housing and you make sure that if you have...
housing units that will be up to a certain height, up to usually about eight stories.
If you're gonna do that, then you have the right to be able, as a developer, to try to get the labor that you need and try to negotiate a good price.
If you go beyond that, you're talking about major construction.
prevailing wage will be the standard.
I think that's a good approach.
And then what we do is provide to those that are in the lower height housing the opportunity to go out and do private actions if you find that there are violations of labor laws.
But I will tell you this.
We should not believe that we have to build homes
by making it so it's impossible for the carpenter who builds a home to never be able to afford to buy it.
I'm going to make sure that those workers who are building those homes can actually think about buying those homes themselves.
