Um I I I have a script and I'm not gonna go go into that, but uh um you know I I uh I worked for
25 years on my own before coming to the county, uh left New York, came down here. and my father-in-law, uh late father-in-law, bet my wife that uh I wouldn't last two weeks working for somebody. So uh that's uh that's a bet that uh I'm I'm glad he lost.

Madam Clerk
I did. I was honored that I got to read your resolution today. Um when I be was an assistant county administrator. I I wanted to see what the day and life of facilities was like and and so uh Jesse gave me by far the best tour. He took me inside the walls of the jail and and who knew plumbing could be so exciting.
But um Jesse deserves all the awards and accolades he's he's gotten over the years. He's uh a kind man and a true public servant and you will be missed.
