Okay, next will be Mark Munster.

Melinda de los Santos.

Good

morning, Melinda de Los Santos District Two.

Nice things were said about the mayor, and that's wonderful.

She does have good qualities, which is why it's important to hear evidence.

Why try to delay hearings through a appeals which were denied to suppress evidence with numerous requests to exclude exhibits and depositions to deny this tribunal their jurisdiction in handling this manner.

They don't use the same legal procedures.

Rather, it's more informal and flexible with the ability to accept hearsay.

This hearing is about whether the mayor is guilty of misconduct, malfeasance, or a willful neglect of her performance of official duties.

There was some innuendo about several people, but that does not determine whether somebody has done wrong or guilt or anything else.

This is not being handled properly in my opinion, and I would please request that y'all, you know, this isn't this is bad for Corpus Christi.

It's been bad for Corpus Christie.

If case you haven't been paying attention, thank

you.

Okay.

Yes,

Ms.

Rebecca, would is that concluded?

Yes,

ma'am, that concludes the public comment period.

Okay.

So this morning, before we move in to continuing our testimony, um we've been advised to wait for all members of this panel to arrive.

So if we if we okay, perfect.

So then we will recess momentarily until he arrives.

We'll give him okay.

We will call this meeting back in order.

Mr.

Allison, if you will proceed.

May I level my objection that I need to level everything?

Thank you.

I apologize.

I was a little tardy, and I've got to make an objection.

Uh

objection respondent renews her continuing due process objection that members of this tribunal are material witnesses with personal knowledge of disputed adjudicative effects and therefore cannot simultaneously act as neutral fact finders.

Respondent further objects to the admission of the evidence on all previously asserted evidentiary grounds.

Thank
