what i said, i write it for my bible, where i come from. in the meantime, i write another one in my language about how i feel. for four years, have been run away from my country. i have here a copy not only for my brother, for the men who are going to have bridges and like it, and to let me read it and tell you why our language --
8:01 pm
wake up, time for you to go. if you like my people, time for you to go. how much money from america you get. january, 2011, i hope you never forgets. your position of power will never going to be away. my uncle gets you to write in the right way, but your corruption has become your weight. i see that your family gets scared.
8:02 pm
i hope to see our hero. when i was young, i was very proud of my all who did help -- my uncle who did help mubarak, and the money you gave him helped him, and i'm here for the homeless. bring our money back to the people here. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. stop the corporate rate of the public library. a crucial aspect of the rape of the library is an understanding of how little the public/private partnership actually continued
8:03 pm
rigid contributes. the citizens voted on an issue to remodel, and a new report is out from the department of public works. program, approved by the board, would cost $106 million in bond funds and be finished in january 2010. to date, the public expenditures have told 136% of the original commitment. eventually, the public expenditures are expected to reach almost 190% or $200 million. at the same time, the friends and foundation of the library claims it would raise $16 million. today, the friends and foundation have expanded 7.1% of its commitment. the total contribution to the branches is $1.1 million. during the life of the grant program, the friends have raised $31.7 million, so the foundation have provided only 3.4% of what they raised. yet, from the face of the long history of failure i presented last week, accountability is
8:04 pm
suspended because private money is its own justification. the friends and foundation would not answer questions about their finances before your finance committee, so they were allowed to operate without an agreement with the city. everyone knows that the program is supposed to be finished in january 2010, and the cost overruns and public funds were so delayed because the foundation needed more money, more time to raise their private money. yet, we are supposed to be grateful for the privatization, as if privatization is not even expected to justify itself or show any benefit in the long term? i always say the allies cost more than the money. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. next speaker please. >> i would like the overhead to remain on the screen until i remove my final slide. this presentation is called san
8:05 pm
francisco open government. what we do not but should have. i'm director of san francisco open government, and you can contact the sf open government. i expect to have folks contact me. over the next year, for the following year, i'm going to be talking about a number of different cities, boards, and commissions. we will be moving to the police commission, the board of appeals, the library commission, the sunshine or that its task force, the ethics commission, and finally, this board of supervisors.
8:06 pm
in the other residents in my business -- i and my residence in san francisco, in the building owned by abraham and run by the realty, went through a process before the renvoi involving it passed through. it was unjust, illegal, and immoral. i'm doing and not just for them, but for the simple fact that 70% of the residents of this city are before the rent board because they are tenants. tenants are legally and morally entitled to fair treatment, but they do not get it because the rent board is correct. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you.
8:07 pm
next speaker please. >> i want to commend rushed limbaugh for the fine work that he did. he was not disrespecting the chinese. he is disrespecting the murderous communist chinese as part of the eugenics program. not long ago, dr. king mentioned in the world summit conference that we need to reduce the population by 90%. that is what red china is doing you can obtain a copy of the speech on radioliberty.com if you think i'm lying. good for you, rush. i'm of the opinion that the 1335 days in the book of daniel is anywhere from november 27, 2009, to march 15-16, 2010. in other words, there was a 108-
8:08 pm
day window for opening for the conclusion of the so-called 1335 days, which i interpret as 287- year cycles -- 28 seven-year cycles from christ. probably 5108 days, which ended either on the last day of the sabbatical cycle or the first day of the sabbatical cycle. i cannot legitimately stretch it out. i mentioned one time that my last day of my 50th year was my son daniels 4444 day, which does not mean anything other than i would still be 50 years old, even though at 50 years old and 365 days. i know i came up here time after time saying christ is going to return around thanksgiving of 2009, but if i could have an hour, i could do it. cake, and i'm not very smart.

8:10 pm
i hope the middle east throws out every dictator that we support. the u.s. installed the sharp of eye run and they felt -- to. i do not support iran. israel has the most nuclear weapons. 200 nuclear warheads and never signed a nuclear proliferation treaty. israel bulldozes palestinian homes in east jerusalem and in the occupied west bank. they still water and land from palestinians. they shall 50,000 houses, an
8:11 pm
ambulance driver spent some that have killed people waving white flags. they have used children as shields. they have bulldozed graveyards. in >> as you start your new session, i feel it would be useful to review a little bit what the library users association has done. in many cases working with supervisors and a number of individuals and other
8:12 pm
organizations. in general, we are working for better libraries for everyone. for 12 years, proposition which was passed in 1994. the library had not increased our supply a single minute.
8:13 pm
when asked by supervisor mirkarimi what they would do with more dollars, the supervisor argued vigorously and then said it is your call. the library did not increase the hours at any time and it took another allocation the following year before the library did anything about it and now they have a goal with branches being open seven days a week. we work with the the aclu and others to oppose the privacy- threatening -- >> thank you. >> i'm going to talk about item number 21. and dislikes the diverse board

8:15 pm
radio station in this community that does this as well. i understand it was started as a university radio stations but this ended up one of the best radio station. i urge you to look at our programming. everything was represented. this represents our diverse community. thank you. >> when the university turned up a transmitter, it became the most high-profile participant in this disturbing trend of universities trying to place their educational licenses into the hands of public radio
8:16 pm
conglomerates. this is happen that texas tech and in sioux falls south dakota , rice university, and at vanderbilt in nashville. you have heard of what is happening. commercial station -- is being reconfigured with a non- commercial purposes. i am deeply disturbed by the land grab taking place which should be at protected space for community and irresistible broadcaster. this is an important part of changing the policy.
8:17 pm
the federal communications commission incurs the consolidation media and as as shredded just about every reform that was fought for and won in radio and television. homogenized music and in a timid constraints creativity, suppresses local talent, and detracts from our cultural diversity. thank you. >> i have been at a resident of
8:18 pm
san francisco 1993 cents. the closure of the station is having an effect on the economy. we give away tickets to shows twice an hour during every music shift and some of these were close such as --. most were add much smaller clubs. many of them to not have the budget to promote shows. for most of them, giving out tickets is the only way to advertise. the proposal to replace the station with an internet-only station will not replace this promotion. the on line station can only reach to run the 13 people at
8:19 pm
any time. the failure rate is used with many going out of business within a couple of years. there is a lot of talk about the effects of taxes and regulation on small businesses. some cultural programs reach several committees which have no other representation on the dial. estimates are 150,000 residents who are chinese by dissent. this aired every week night and we are a lifeline -- >> thank you. >> good afternoon.

i want to see those trees make it all free. i want to see all of those trees. thank you >> next speaker. >> my concern is that we have to pay prosecutor and yet he does not maintain adequate control of this chamber.
8:23 pm
there is no better example of that then the first speaker that jumped up to the microphone every time there is a public comment and he raises his voice above normal educated persons level to where we can hear what he is saying. on top of that, we don't know what he is saying. for all we know, he is communicating to osama bin laden. what is going on here, mr. president? why don't you take control of this chamber instead of acting like a fool? we have more important things to do around here them listen to you guys play around we have serious budget problems, serious state budget problems and you were sitting up there like a clown. you control this place.
8:24 pm
thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> mr. president, i am not allowed to speak on a legend. >> that is an item that we have already spoken about. >> supervisor mirkarimi might sound like he is extreme but he is not. what happened is along the lines of shutting off the internet in egypt. this is just a complete -- i have forwarded the e-mail to the entire board of supervisors
8:25 pm
and asking what protection they had against fraud. they should walk in and take their own station back. i'm assuming that what happened with the repairs is actually being covered up right now. i do not stand in solidarity with the guy before me of course but also not with -- that has blocked listed me. this is very respectful. >> hello, thank you, supervisors, for listening.
8:26 pm
>> i and a host of a cultural so. i am here to speak on item 21 and mention a couple of quick rightists -- items. there were numerous inconsistencies let alone the ethical and spiritual breaches. in the 1920's, the left side of the dial was designated where the weaker signals reside. the radio goes from 50,000 listeners to 15 online. lastly, this would be bad economics for the city as we
8:27 pm
have heard earlier before i got up to the microphone. the sec has been convinced before to change their mind. dennis kucinich was using the same arguments and stop the takeover of -- from having to broadcast a generic a genre of music and was able to convince the fcc to allow them to go on. someone from our disability show has not had a chance. think you very much. >> thank you.
8:28 pm
>> i am here representing the host of the news report broadcast on sunday afternoon at 12:30 p.m.. the program that we do is the only weekly program that is targeted to the senior disability community in this bay area. we to observe the fairness doctrine and do a lot of political broadcasting. the alert people to legislation
8:29 pm
that is going on. i would like to echo the sentiments of most of the people that are here. we would like the board of regents to rescind the sale to these sort of corporate parties. but this was as was mentioned by the first speaker, indicative of what is happening with the radio stations for budget constraints. i'm asking you to please suggest that they rescind what is going on. thank you very very much. >> thank you.
