My name is Kevin Law and I’m the chairman of the casino location siting board and joining me today to my right are members of the board Paul Francis and Dennis Glazor. On the phone with us is Stewart Rivitalitz and Bill Thompson is in route and will be joining us in a couple minutes. We thank you for coming. We spent yesterday in Albany. Twelve hours of hearings for the proposed projects up in the capital region and we’re gonna have the same exact drill as we did there, and as we will do up in Ithaca tomorrow. We are going to try to get everybody who wants to speak. Is that me? No that’s not me. We’re going to try to give everybody that wants to speak a chance to speak. People will be limited to five minutes of course if you do not use your entire five minutes we will appreciate that and it will allow for more people a chance to speak. There will be sort of two lists I’ll be working off of to allow folks to speak. Folks, a lot of folks registered for particular time slots over the last couple of weeks to sign up to speak, and then some folks just signed up for today. So at the top of each hour we’re going to take five people who registered to speak, and we’ll take them, then we’ll go to the list of people that signed up today, then we’ll go back at the next top of the hour to the five that pre- registered and so on throughout the day.
