parks department, which is a solution for making much-needed repairs to candlemas stadium -- candlestick stadium. this is in exchange for funding from the city. this is to make sure that our san franciscans can in -- continue to enjoy our stadium and the 49ers, and for many years to come, at candlestick park. i will submit the rest of the items. clerk calvillo: thank you, supervisor chiu. supervisor elsbernd? president chiu, you wanted to be called? >> thank you, madam clerk. -- supervisor chu, you wanted to be called? supervisor chu: thank you.

i am talking to you can buy english language. america, wake up -- i am talking to you by english language. america, wake up. it is bad for us if we have the same earthquake, like we had in japan. 10,000 people have been disappeared. they lost everything, cars, whatever they have. our friends, our families, supervisors. such as john avalos, jane kim,

problem suint -- soon or later and for the supervisors to try to do -- and training. in your district, how we can help each other. the people lost their lives because they do not know what to do, or they do something wrong, but if we have a player, maybe we can save other people. -- if we have a planned, maybe we can save other people. -- if we have a plan. [bell] president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> do not accept money from the foundation. now is the time. it is national sunshine week in

march, and this gives us a chance to recognize the mechanisms that subvert democracy in order to protect the interests of private money. you will notice that in san francisco, nobody recognizes national sunshine week. the terms of sunshine that means open government -- the term of sunshine means "open government." empowering the people. that was before the library in san francisco government decided it was in the interests -- could be turned into a private income stream. most people recognize, at least in the abstract, that there are -- we need institutions of knowledge that allow access to truth, and that is sunshine in

the government, a free press, and public libraries. public libraries are supposed to be supported for that reason. it is no accident that the public library is the most egregious sunshine law violator. there is a private income stream, with donors and explosiveness. the destruction of democracy is what they expect for the money. the truth has to be destroyed. now, they will destroy what you care about, just as they have destroyed the library. the destruction of truth is the destruction of democracy itself, and that is what i always say the lines -- lies cost more than the money.
