the facts on [speaker not understood]. why i say that is because today we need to know ~ "our climb will be steep. we may not get there in one year or even in one term, but america, i have never been more hopeful than i have tonight that we will [inaudible]. i promise you we as a people will get there." i want it remind people get out there and vote because when i went to sacramento, tom's office is a very nice office and they do have an lgbt caucus there and i want to remind people that memorial day is coming up. that's a day not only for veterans, but for all americans who make this a great country. so, make sure you get out and vote and keep our city progressive like the other countries are doing [speaker not understood]. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak

in general public comment? please step up. well, it's now good evening, supervisors, because it's after 6 o'clock. i am here because i'm still concerned about administrative code 12 l. there are a number of nonprofits which are in violation of administrative code 12 l. which requires a minimum of two designated public board of directors meeting per year. that's only two. i still have the whistle blowers program investigating so i can't tell you which nonprofits. so, that's all i can do on that subject. on a happier note from you, i

am happy to report that irs has decided to zero out my so-called federal tax account because i was able to provide the documentation they needed that showed that 2011, $50,000 income, he yes, reported to irs, i didn't do it ~. so, the irs is going to be investigating and there isn't really much more i can say on that except yea. state of california federal tax board did the same thing where the federal 2011 report triggered a tax bill for me for the state. that's been ruled out as well. it does involve nonprofits here in san francisco who received taxpayers' money and the moment i have an opportunity to let you know, i shall. thank you and have a great

special use district like japantown and chinatown and north beach. this cultural district is witnessing rapid change different parts of the neighborhood is the fooshlthd crisis that has overtaken our city the result is the community buildings that immediate action is needed to recognize the historical and culture value of the latino neighborhood we believe this recognize recognition is important to prevent the culture designs with small businesses this is a busting enclave for latino businesses like speciality foods and restaurants and cafes and mexico bakeries and butchers and

gift shops that serves the needs of the resident we celebrate the roosevelt and others. but recognition of the latino neighborhood is important we've fought for the patterson's bookstore and cafe to remain in the business and are saddened by the workshop because of rising rents. the latino based organizations on 24th street to serve the needs of the neighborhood and promote culture those organizations include the mission education centers and mission culture center for the latino arts and the center and the culture association and

theatre among others. viciously the latino district is zinc because of it's murals on the walls of the neighborhood it has the highest concentration of the murals it was started in 1972 by the changing a chiu can and this focuses on the conflicts in central america anger over human rights violations and being a native i understand the importance of that central america has played in this community. the latino multiply events in the neighborhood that have the community in mind throughout the calendar year within the latino

district businesses and residents and arts organizations and long established nonprofit agrees collaborative to organize the events like the caesar chavez parade many of us participated in and this has xhvj grown and we're not excited to be holding this hearing as we're preparing this weekend for an event. i'm excited to be part of this today that's a step to preserve little mission and promote the mission character. the support of the community and the mayor and of the office of economic workforce development the organization the latino historical social that is all their support it mummifying and we would not be here without them. i want to thank them so with that context i'd like to ask i
