higher taxes. so i figure out against that day to day campaigning. prop 13 passed shifted the burdens to the homeowner they pay 72 percent even if property tax and commercial owners pay only 36 percent. so if californians are paying more and more because commercial property owners are not paying their burden proposition 13 has a competitive disadvantage two ideal businesses can pay different tax on how long

they've been around. this california is the 49th in the nation and in 2008, and 2011 has the california assistance >> thank you very much i hope your consider this resolution and get new attention to this problem thank you very much. >> greetings supervisor supervisor. affidavit east yet lose co-chair of the hospital in san francisco and appointed to the mayors task force. i'm here to talk about a mental health issue called laura's law this was an issue taken up but my board and the mayors care advisory committee who is involved in trying to help

people that fall between the cracks we really want to help people that fall between the cracks unfortunately, i think laura's last is actually a law of unintended consequences to scare people from therapy and hurt people in trying to get therapy and end up helping few anyone can be referred to an impact care by a anger friend or anyone who was upset it brings people into a judicial system into a court setting where no law has been violated they're talking about the black robe

just effect why should someone be brought into a court of law to compel treatment research promote laura's law but the best aspects of what it's trying to do case management and wrap around case management all the services that people need and also peer support that's one of the recommendations that came out of the mayors committee. thank you for your time and consideration >> next speaker. >> mr. president, and members of the committee i'm christopher i live on 16 street i rise to comment on my landlord accident tenderloin housing i pay them 41

i work at the private school because there i can serve my students. it's a tragedy in my mind we're not meeting the needs i'd be forever grateful if we could changes things in california thank you very much >> next speaker >> hi i'm julia this is my colleagues and i'm going to give this over to eli both of them. are my children they were both burn born in san francisco i know you want to vote to close the loophole i count on that but i've never come and spoken i'm so motivated open this issue i hope you'll find other ways to be motivated i'm part of the 59 percent that support this this

is a winable issue and i think it solves so many problems in san francisco it isn't about education not about making it possible for new businesses to open. it's also about equality, you know, less thaning that and about people that can get the kinds of jobs to get the kind of schooling and keeping the income diversity in the schools so people that have more money are not fleeing and i'm a property owner and i'm willing to pay more it's not about the commercial stuff but i'm going to give to evolve others go organized from the benefit of not having my property taxes raised thank you very much >> thank you. next speaker.

. >> hi i'm molly the teacher librarian at the balboa high school and speaking on behalf of the close the loophole. one of the lucky school librarians at self-ousted i see we're suffering from prop 13 and the lack of funds in california there's one librarian to even 8 thousand students the worse in the nation. and at balboa we don't have the money for the programs the arts programs especially drama special ed programs that will help our students be meaning main streamed and co- taught i urge you to do everything you can too close this loophole and

devote more money to education thank you very much >> thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. i'm marilyn the elementary school student i lobbied against prop 13 i remember at this point my brother had an opportunity to go to state funded hiking trips and it was cut off and my sister and i never had the opportunity i'm a teacher in the public schools and even though there's a surplus in the budget schools are not being funded to the level eave lost very important crucial staff at our school and those students their needs won't be met and there will be a trickle up effect at the achievement records the teachers will be forced to teach the

students that need specific care and aid. so our schools are becoming undemocratic there's is a strong pta that supports the pe, etc. by month schools don't have this opportunity it's not the mission for our constitution of the united states to provide that and our schools are failing and california is failing proportion thirteen is responsible. i've met many supervisors in small locations urging the campaigns and you all speak strongly to support of the addition education of our students i hope by closing the loophole we'll achieve that thank you. >> hi i'm anton and i'm also a

san francisco resident and voter and i'm also honored to be here with the educators i'm a high school science teacher right up the street in balboa high school and the discretion between private and pun school is on one level what that is about. i think a question should be posed to every politician how much does it cost to educate a child per year and how we will achieve that level of funding. when i was in college a constitutional law case rodriguez vs. the unified school district and the fact that ethnic discrimination is tragic i think we should be taking every measure to battle that and

closing corporate loophole is one very important step in that direction i'm hoping that san francisco, california take the leads for the whole state in pursuing this thank you >> hello, i'm william what i've worked in the bay area the year that proposition 13 was pass. i felt that the commercial property tax was inequal and long overdue i encourage you to support that removal of that loophole. we all know that the particular revenue is needed so, please support it thank you. >> hello, i'm or join i'm a san

francisco resident a homeowner and a public school teacher in san mateo and a parent of a san francisco unified school district district a productive college and uc berkley i'm in favor of closing the loophole i believe education should be funded equally among all unified school districts i see the disparity of people returning from san francisco where the funding is less more per person in my district we can't afford to lose any more families or teachers to richer school districts and to private schools i believe that closing corporate funding will help to make sure that people stay in the city's

and in the areas and not just for people that happen to come from families that have more money at this point you have to be married to are come from a family that has money to live in the cities in california. please support f this at least one of you will be would going onto the california assembly i hope you'll support in monk your colleagues thank you very much >> thank you next speakers. >> we hear to speak on closings the commercial loophole. >> i'm max. i'm dan son >> and i'm is a bash we go to marshall elementary.

get a what you pay for we're dead last in the teachers and could you please state your name we're blessed to have passed prop thirty and seeing money coming but frankly not enough the local formula is going to bring if additional funds but close to back where we were so if we want to meet the needs of the students we need to take on prop 13 and we as a school district eave passed a similar resolution a number of months ago and hoping the city will join us but we need to gal in his our treaties across the state to get people to understand people are demanding this. i hope to see the school district and the city to encourage the rest of california

to pass that and a a number of years we'll see the reform of proposition 13 thank you to supervisor cowen for bringing this forward >> good afternoon. i'm a resident of supervisor mar's district an organizer for evolve and speaking no support of item number 40. i think an important point is we have the highest sales and income taxes in the country we're going to see prop thirty funds riven out in 2016 we can choose to increase the tax burden on people further or have large cooperation's pay fair market rate on their properties i urge you to take a stand and adapt to close the commercial

loophole. thank you >> hello, i'm eir i can't think a san francisco resident and here to speak in favor of the resolution to close the commercial loophole tax. i graduate from san francisco state in 2012 after completing my entire education in public schools. as the son of two teachers i was lucky enough to have the support to complete my entire education despite the dramatic cuts that faced our education system. many my short time at the sf state i saw tuition raise about $3,000 a semester as an organizer i've had the opportunity to speak to tens of

thousands of californians that understand how prop 13 has accommodated our education system by granting numerous corporations tax breaks there's something wrong when our education system has slipped to 49 in funding and disneyland is paying $0.05 per square feet on their property taxed. california become the greater state by funding education expenses so san francisco needs to be a leader i iceberg you to support in resolution and take a stance for tax fairness thank you. >> hi good afternoon. i'm margaret and i'm a resident of
