“We will destroy the warehouse [that is obstructing the waterway]. Im telling you, no sacred cow. It’s now or never,” Rama told reporters in an interview on Tuesday, August 16.“Being charged because you saved lives, I’ll take that risk because it’s noble.. Never to challenge the mayor because I only meant very well, and that is saving lives,” he added.
