11:09 am
i'm going to speak with or without graphic today and forego my prepared remarks and in order to make some remarks about what happened today. i assumed i knew ms. collins but if she was that prominent i must have known her. it's true that you can grant the floor two particular individuals or a southern number of individuals on a certainty subject if that's appropriate. what you can't do is open the microphone to everyone who wants to speak and express one point of view and not another. someone who was intelligent and sensitive would made it specific
11:10 am
about who feels granted the floor. you can't turn around and be urban intelligent and insensitive and then blame it on the citizens >> to let someone talk in in front of the the microphone is not okay. it's sensitive to me because the library rikdz my comments based on content and point of view all the mind. when i started i was young and poor. i got mid age class and got one suit from goodwill and, of course, they couldn't treat me any better because their bias
11:11 am
>> know you not that the unrighteous shall not be hefrpt the kingdom of heaven. nor drunks should inherit the kingdom of god. your set apart from your sin your righteous based on the life of jesus christ and those who become christians didn't fornicate they married or left their girl. they in the morning were homosexuals or downstrokes they were separated from their sin.
11:12 am
now john the baptist was the best and jest said i'm better than him >> jesus began to say onto the crowds. what went you out to see a man clothed in soft ram it is not necessary. for this is whom it the written behold i send my messenger before you. those who are born among women there has not risen higher than the john the baptist. now john was not worth to
11:13 am
unleash the sandal. come onto me all you that are heavy laden >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm executive director of library urges association. the library has been stall on providing some information and no wonder our san francisco library is by far the richest libraries of all the libraries reported from an unanimous book serving one half to one million people. how rich is san francisco library. the medium and mean budgets for the libraries in this group is 28 and $38 million.
11:14 am
san francisco public libraries budget was when this was reported $92 million more than triple the average. now why do i talk about the san francisco library because we should be getting the best service from that library and we're not. the library has instituted a program for so-called increases in hours and a while the total number of hours is increasing they continue to cut evenings and in one case weekend times what people say they want most. they tried initially in may to come up with a program that would cut 42 sessions every week in the city. we'd like the peripheries to pay attention to moor the library
11:15 am
does not cut weekend hours but it adds evening and weekend hours that it increases the open hours at the mainland libraries which is the worse of the comparison libraries and it should stop the reduction of days. thanks very much >> hi good afternoon. i'm barry. today is face and morning day from the jewish religion. i'm here to find out that late last time that mayor lee had declared this in favor of operating illegally in san francisco and i think it would be great if you ask mayor lee if
11:16 am
his daughter works for this app and whether that could create a conflict of interest. i'm very, very much concerned it's making it difficult for the cab industry when those apps are out there. in fact, some of the insurance companies of the drivers of those particular vehicles have told me they're not covered if they get in an accident. it's important to get out there considering there are apps all over the city saying there are having lower costs by using those vehicles but you could risk your life in them and you couldn't get any coverage for that. i'm very much unconcerned you
11:17 am
may get a resolution countering with mayor lee had said sporting the regulation of the taxi industry in the city. any day now we'll get an opinion from the administrator law judge. in closing, i want to say in america of ms. collins becauseer e she was a very compassionate citizen >> i've been a taxi driver since 1979 so the mayor declared it lift day instead of praising this community he should have announced that san francisco is
11:18 am
the only major city without taxi service. our taxi service has been buried alive. those folks are unregulated and a no wonder they have no workman's comp and no inspections no ada accountability. they provided the serves to the weight neighborhood and they have notions. i can assure you have that that the person insurance policies exclude transporting passengers for the fee. 44 how can you have the coverage? pittsburgh that's the city's duty to provide reliable transportation to evidentially and that includes the seniors
11:19 am
and disabled and yet the mayor praises them. and the city attorney refuses to act why dennis. isn't it your sworn duty why are you the only city center in the nation who refuses to enforce that. what is to become of us? we spent our whole lives doing this job and now if the city of san francisco just the regular folks are going to have any transportation by taxis >> thank you. next speaker, please and a govern here i have a street tag burned graphics

11:23 am
want to thank the examiner for the cover story let's put it on the record. i'd like to ask the mayor's office and the board of supervisors don't anyone have any sort of a relationship with mr. and mrs. jimmy. when your facing over 2 hundred felonies someone somewhere might be helping i. so say so if our not in writing that way the seniors will know the truth and that applies to the past and present mayor. and, in fact, talking about the mayor's office let's put it on the record that the board of supervisors and mayor's office funneled away a very worthy cause. they'll miss one more game in
