the mta how the mta members are appointed by the mayor. we're in the process of gathering signatures to reform the mta. here's a question i have every year. we have a $70 million deficit. we have $70 million a year and eliminating lines and raising fairs. what was the going on here. why is no one stepping up to the plate and asking the mta why are you having a $70 million deficit every year and not repairing muni vehicles. i got fired because of the defect vehicle equipment.

there are a number of articles in the paper. the sfmta is a priority saying the street central subways is not needed. and many of i on this board passed illegal election called proposition g that violated the workers rights. you know who you are and what i'm talking about. it's time for you to rectify and reform this prop. so we will be going to each and every one of your offices and submitting a copy of the ballot for initiatives

>> thank you very much. >> next speaker . hello, i'm a co- writer for that ballot initiative. the mta in its present form has to be changed. as the previous speaker points out every year there's a deficit every single year. the operators have been saying their pay is usually feign. the 7 is gone the 53 is gone and yet actually, it persists. it is not run as a public service and their using it to fund the rested of the city. it was started to serve the public the railway to serve the

priority not the revenue. revenue it is the priority they even have parking meters in front of houses. you better not put one in front of my house it will be pulled out. this mta needs to be changed. the prop g was supposed to save 67 million a year over 3 years and it hadn't done that. service keeps going do you think i'm a regular rider i have to go and get my car because it's full. every time they cut it there's

for cars. how in the hell is the trolley going to get through if there's a traffic jam? >> thank you. next speaker, please >> good afternoon. this is a memory for the many folks who have died in glang inventions. i was walking past the church when slowly there the window came a sympathy himself. i found i move needed. >> a church. up front on the alter with the

that don't nothing for the subway. however, this is a blowup where the tunnels will come out of the beach. this the the opening to remove the tunnel machines. this is washington square park. in the noise. so a few weeks supervisor farrell and mayor lee annuity that our shortfall would be 2 had the 3 you million dollars. and the subway did a study that has a $202 million shortfall. so i hope you're looking for ways to reduce the shortfall and

the shortfall will have to be filled in by local fund. my recommendations you pile those $79 million back into the central

>> the contract was about

$120 million over budget. it's a contractor that is an aggressive contractor. the major construction hadn't started the mta recommended 2 hundred and thirty million and the mta projected an 80 percent actually confidence about $421 million. so the project is over budgeted and it has to be cut back and that's what the proximately managers do >> next speaker >> good afternoon president of the board mr. chu and board of supervisors. appreciate number one i want to say i sat here today and want to thank you for a wonderful day of

$800,000 back in 1988. today, we know that you are over $422 million in the deficit. given the corresponding attitude we could stop the action which would be running the boring machines through to chinatown and stop there. at the beginning i would like you to use the logic and apply that. thank you, thank you, thank you next speaker >> good afternoon. i'm a san francisco bay native 21 years board of commissioners back in north beach. my three children congratulated
