thank you. god bless all of you. >> good afternoon, board of supervisors. do not give money to the friends of the public library. do not accept money from the friends of the public library. people are starting to see how destructive the corporate influence has become an starting to realize how fragile the market really is. one of the values of corporations is there is never accountability because it might interfere with profits. one of the values of democracy is that there has to be accountability for the people have no power. the value of the united states used to be that it belonged to the people. now what we see over and over again in our society is the mechanism to subvert democracy in order to protect and promote the interests of private money.

most people recognize, at least in the abstract, that there are virtues to open the government that are worth more than a few pennies of a corporate donation. if we want a democracy, we need open institutions of knowledge that allow access to the trip. those are sunshine in government, a free press, and importantly, public libraries. it is no accident that the san francisco public library is the worst example of that privatization and the subversion of democracy, but we actually see that subversion everywhere. once our institutions become a private income stream, that wants power and explosiveness. the destruction of democracy is what they expect for their money. it once with of thing considered unthinkable that the board of supervisors would meet on election day.

respect for the vote is democratic and accountability. the destruction on the truth is the destruction of democracy itself. of course, as i have said many times, the lies cost more than the money. please vote. supervisor chiu: next speaker. >> thanks. good afternoon. we found this in the early days. it is a badge face to give you when you were an employee in the early 1920's. here is something from the earthquake. from clay st., it is kind of burned. bern from residents in the 1906 earthquake. ♪ there are city places i remember all my life

and i am glad to be here today, and i hope they all vote and vote for you, and i'm glad that -- ♪ they'll be there and where there is good things they will vote for you and they will care ♪ supervisor chiu: next speaker. >> good afternoon. look at what has happened on election day -- state election monitors. what kind of election do we want? i say we need a clean election. we need a trial, mr. president, an impeachment trial of mayor lee for election fraud, money- laundering, and sweetheart deals related to the central subway. these issues are not mine alone. these issues are raised by the

city attorney. someone is not telling the truth. that is why we need an impeachment trial, and i urge my supervisor to call for an impeachment trial of mayor lee. let the sunshine in and have an impeachment trial so these issues can be vetted before the public. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am here to thank you for approving the funds for the adult day health program. i was on the committee that started the first adult day health program in chinatown in 1972, and then, we knew it was very unusual but for the first time, people could get -- supervisor chiu: excuse me. there is a rule in the chamber that we do not allow public comment i items we have already voted on. you want to speak about adult

day health center is more broadly, that is permissible. >> the adult day health centers, what i was in washington in april, i noticed that the national organization of areas on aging was talking about how important adult day health would be to their work and transition from hospitals, and it certainly is important, and i think it is how you get out of a hospital earlier and how you still get the therapy you need, and i think the governor has forgotten that people get physical therapy. i would like to mention the example of one person i know who has been in adult day health and has just been removed, who was paralyzed from the neck down. he has a round-the-clock care, including his wife and two home attendance, and he goes to adult day health to learn how to get his mouth to his hands. if that is not important there

be to be able to feed yourself, i do not know what is. i think they forgot when they removed it from the state budget that that kind of therapy is important, too. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> presbyterian minister. who would 50 years in the church of rome, fascinating read. 550 pages long. i am on my sixth time through, which proves that abraham lincoln was assassinated by the jesuits. there is no doubt about it. abraham lincoln was charles chickee's best friend, charles

was his best friend. there is no doubt about it. roman catholicism and islam are very similar religions. if you kill a christian, you get to go to heaven. in islam, if you kill a christian, you get 72 blushes virgins, but in roman catholicism, at the council of the turn, they determined that if you kill a christian -- they called them a fair to -- a h eretic -- you would go to paradise. time flies when you are having fun. i could easily go an hour. it is an amazing book, but i think of jazz with governor brown, who signed ab 48 that basically brands christians at

the stake as the homosexual agenda is basically forced on christians view this wicked, weil abomination is forced on christians. truly, the day of judgment is coming. it really is. on family radio, they are reading a great book. there is a fellow also in the fox's book of martyrs. supervisor chiu: thank you very much. any other members of the public wish to speak in general public comment? >> hello. i just begin? thank you. i am it president of californians for electro reform. -- elect coral reform -- electoral reform. you're so it surprised the and

then it has an interest even before the results of the election appeared in your first election, nine of you avoid a second run of the election you would have had to face under the old section. supervisor cohen would not even have been in the runoff, and supervisor chu the has the privilege of incumbency benefited because she did not have to plan for the possibility of a runoff election. it is not just supervisors who have benefited. so have taxpayers. san francisco paid out $7 million -- saved $7 million, and it is estimated it will save another $3 million this year. rather than repeal it, i suggest you follow the recommendations of your own voting systems task force. in section 244 of the report, they recommend that san francisco should reenergize its

outreach. preliminary results should be released as frequently as results for non-pulmonary running and you increase the number of rankings voters are allowed to specify either with current equipment or whatever equipment eventually replaces it. i know you refer a two-year or five-year contract extension to dominion and the dominion does plan to introduce equipment, and until they do, you can take advantage of the authority you have to contract out the municipal portion of your elections. san francisco has benefited from right choice voting, and i suggest instead of ending it, you amend it. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> hello, supervises. i am program director from self- help for the elderly about these

services. i am coming here today to take an opportunity. we serve three different kinds of models of adult day health care, and i just want to say san francisco has been a leader in the resourced, and we continue this path and thank you for your leadership, and we will continue to use this as a precious community resourced to serve the community. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors, president. i am the program director for the san francisco long-term care ombudsman program, authorized by the state and federal mandate,

to investigate abuse and neglect cases, to trouble shoot all the lessons loans from care facilities. i wish to enter into a discussion on item 16, written testimony -- supervisor chiu: excuse me, sir. i need to reiterate we cannot use general public, to comment on items we have already discussed and decided upon an already have public comment on. so if you could make your comments brought about the topic. >> all i want to do is enter written testimony into the record. supervisor chiu: you can submit whatever you want to the clerk. >> ok, thank you. supervisor chiu: next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. executive director of library users association. the vernal heights branch library mural went from a concern that restoring the front of it would cost $18,000 and where are we going to get that, to a very close process that

came out the other end with a cost and a project 10 times the expense -- $185,000. and with a very nice little feature for the friends of the public library -- fiscal fee, $16,500, almost the whole cost of the original idea for renovating the mural right here on a blog site that talks about some of the aspects. and which, by the way, was never discussed at the library commission. never shown to the library commission as any kind of document for their consideration. that merrill has gone through a very -- that mural has gone through a very unn-public process, a close process -- a

closed process. the library continues to fall down on basics. i have talked with you about the new print and copy system. the last time i was in a branch, there was a woman who could not add money to her card. she was not able to make a sample copy from a page in a book until the library and helped her on both. the man behind her and in front of me was not able to make a print of a document from his web page. there is also now apparently a privacy issue at the main current jobs and copies get mixed up. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment? if there are, please step up. seeing none, general public

comment is closed. could you please go to our adoption calendar? >> items 21 through 30 are being considered for immediate and unanimous adoption. a member request discussion of an item, it shall be considered separately. supervisor chiu: thank you. would anyone like to sever any of these items? seeing none, roll call on the balance of the calendar. >> on items 21 through 30 -- chiu aye. chu aye. cohen aye. elsbernd aye. farrell aye. kim aye. mar aye. mirkarimi aye. wiener aye. avalos aye. campos aye. mr. president, there are 11 aye.s supervisor chiu: those resolutions are adopted and the motion approve. we have two items left before our 3:00 special order. i suggest we recessed

temporarily until 3:00 p.m. sharp, and then we will get going.
