10:37 pm
make personal sacrifices like taking shorter showers to save water. and services will have to be kit like security. we saw could i in the paper that there are fourteen jobs that have been cut in the housing authority. and the reason i bring this up is i'm going to have a very difficult time to justify the personal sacrifices they have to make to those residents as we
10:38 pm
read in the paper in the meantime, as those cuts to services are happening as people are being laid off the head of the agency remains receiving a full salary. so i ask myself as a member of this body how do we justify that to those residents? what do i say when i you say you have to make those sacrifices and how do you explain this gentleman gets a full paycheck? i don't understand that. >> thank you supervisor campos. >> first without objection can we all join in the memory relay

10:55 pm
the sad could be something in her district i worry about she could protect the people in the future >> thank you. next speaker. and i want to remember to indirect your comments. >> to the public rape of the friends of the library. it not only needs on the public's assets. the public library is presumed to be the most democratic of our snoozed. the public private participating
10:56 pm
destroys public privacy. and it promotes the influence of private money. permit devastation is a failure but it buys accountant ability. there's no accountability for the private money even goes. most of all there is no accountability that allows them to operate in secret. there are no repercussions because the city hall a enslaved with the money. the correspondence paid for the chairs not only they do that at the public you library they will tell you to your face.
10:57 pm
the only influence that the library buys is for city hall. the city hall politicians and corporate interests see themselves as the only one's in the life boats. without ethics society itself will fail and arresting me doesn't solve anything >> thank you. next speaker >> supervisors ray had a right open government. on the screen if it ever gets there is a referral to this board of supervisors regarding the public libraries failure to show the documents. this is the document that shows the supervisor herrera has
10:58 pm
directed city employees to violate the action and has directed to act in violation of other laws. at no times did mr. herrera ever attempt to insight any withheld allowance. for 20 months he's simply refused to produce documents and the critical particular of this referral reads the task force recommendation the library is to be investigated. this is the driving force among all the violations of this law.
10:59 pm
so supervisors when is it going to do this? you've been ignoring me for two or three years. they don't like what we have to say and they figure they can keep us from getting the records. this is fraud. it's misrepresentation when we go before the public and make claims that they have given all the money to the library when they truly have raised in excess of $50 million. >> thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you very much. next speaker >> this is
