  Speaker 1: the last yesterday to show up at the city hall
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: meeting on this Piero Ta tax after so many of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: those city council members. And this is not a put down.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Julie Manning put her political neck on the line and

  Speaker 1: so did many others. And he doesn't even have the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: class to go there and put his political neck on
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the line and standing delivery. You really believe in that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: go there.

• 5:46
  Speaker 1: administrations have benefited from the fact that why don't they
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: include food and energy in the.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Marketing because during the Carter years inflation was like eighteen percent,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: nineteen percent. It got embarrassing, so they changed the way
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: they count the number. They eliminated food and energy. It's

  Speaker 2: not in the number because they didn't want to have
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the number be so embarrassing anymore.
• 6:12
