1:07:06 out to Ridgefield, which even if we got 5,000 or even 50,000 only tourists, that's still more than the 450 people they have crossing that interstate bridge on the bus daily, which is a joke to try and expand light rail because it's a big old rip off. So if you want to make money instead of just keep losing money, then invest in some tourism out there in Ridgefield by making a tram or maybe getting some jobs out there in Canvas by building another bridge. And St. Helens wants a bridge too, so there's no reason to put billions of dollars into the interstate bridge at all. Thanks. Thank you. Kimberly Goheen-Elvin.

1:08:03 And tonight, two hours ago, they put public comment on here. I think it's not transparent that the people did not know there really actually was a public comment. They do this quite a bit when you have a government ruling over the people. Clark County chose to adopt the GMA. Not all counties in the state of Washington did, but this council did without a vote of the people. This was a governmental action, so I'm going to state, I respectfully remind this council of Washington State Constitution Article 1, Section 1, which states that all political power is inherent in the people and governments drive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Elected officials are our public servants. You exist to protect the rights of the citizens, not to manage our lives without our direct consent. Implement the will of the people here. I've asked-- there's some examples of not following the will of the people.

1:09:01 For instance, we voted down three times light rail. There's a lot more going on if you people would start getting active. I've asked for years to implement a five-year no growth overlay over Clark County. There are-- I also want to state that there are 889 pages of written comments.
