discussed now would be the time please come up state your name your address for the record Bill dragy 47 Post Road Clark New Jersey um it seems like uh um president Trump will probably be uh in office January 20th so the next meeting he won't be president yet but he's already um uh threatening the host hostages uh threatening um hosah and his baah for hostages and if they don't give them uh he will um he's strengthening to uh really come down hard on them once he's elected so maybe they'll do the same with the lgbtq stuff because every um rally I I listened to he uh he said he's going to come out against lgbtq for in the states I don't know how He'll Do It um he did I did say something about federal funds I'm not sure if it was for that but uh how many how much of the of our budget uh is supplied by federal funds is it like 10% or something Mr ruzo could you answer that yeah what percent okay yeah well that's probably the most por you can probably put on Murphy um threatening to maybe withhold federal funds if he doesn't uh come along and and cut out all the LGB C stuff uh so I'm hoping um uh even even if he even if it doesn't work that only 5% but uh he might um do something more drastic once he's elected and maybe even have an executive order to stop any of that stuff and I'm I I kind of feel in my heart that you will be very happy with that you may not admit it here but I think you will be very happy with that too um the school board um I know you have to obey the you have to obey the law uh but even there it can be it's not really breaking the law the law is unconstitutional which it is if uh if it's uh coming out against any religious beliefs of any teachers or any board members because of the equal protection law which says you cannot U make anybody change come out against their religion and it's clearly in the Bible it's against most Christians and Jews and I don't there any Muslims uh school system pardon 10 seconds uh but he may he may uh that that may be very very persuasive hope hopefully you you don't have to really obey to those laws thank you Mr Dr thank you anybody else in the public like to say anything all right seeing none can I motion to adjourn all in favor motion to oh Mr Mr small I'm sorry Mrs BR all in favor I thank you [Music]
