thank . >> good afternoon, everyone. this is a pretty thrilling day that for us it's another milestone in the progress of connecting the great city of san francisco from one end to another about economics development and about clean environment, pittsburgh that's about building consensus i'm sure the mayor will agree he served as the che administration officer it to took years to get this to a third street rail of central subway thousands even if hours of volunteers coming

together to make their point of view known. we've been here 5 wants on the total of this project but making progress again and every step of the way all along i'll say whoever we were appealing to our hopes are riding on the third street rail and our hopes on the street subway for all to be a model to the country of economic development while we improve the quality of life and sflrs customers and create good paying jobs that's today is a sad day because of the loss of robin williams i was oncoming over mayor we were together in 2012 with another phase we are that altogether with ray la hood the secretary of transportation and while we were listening to each

other's speeches we were on our i preponderance watching the last of the games to dorm who would be in the playoffs and while we were celebrating the; correct construction we were cheering the victory of the giants that day to go on to the world series and robin williams was a great giant fan my daughter christine right-minded me in after 2001 that was by and large the first time god bless america took place some may have done is but a tradition across our country and robin williams was a great giants fan but in 2004 he sank god bless america urging the 7th ending stretch we've lost a genius and san

francisco has lost a great friend we made contributions to life. two weeks ago on the steps of the k358 the democrats launched the jump start to create good paying jobs in our country a rock the entrepreneurship begins in the classroom to make college affordable and early child onsite hood evaluation affordable and in some ways when with yes, ma'am succeeds america succeeds a version of growing the economy by this each week this week is make that on america where we say we want american made companies invest

in good paying jobs here in america by removing tax credits to send jobs overseas what is what the law is now, it's ridiculous we want to over turn that with the savings we want to invest in building america and building the infrastructure and that means roads and brigades and cr=certainly mass transit and water supply and broad band the infrastructure of the future so this the the job the parlor we're sthifls all over the country what better place to start where the innovation has begun it's begun with the consensus over time with the community involvement i've said to the city i want to give you every option but if we allocate the sources we need the dirt to

underlie this consensus building over time has been very, very central to our success and, of course, the recovery act that president obama took the lead on made a difference in getting hundreds and hundreds of million dollars nearly a billion dollars for the completion of the project while it started local it was local and state funding under the leadership of the leaders today, i'm honored to be here with the mayor how important this jump start for the class is and how important building infrastructure is to the jump start. roadway there's a installing felt be middle-class because of the stalling of those kinds of initiatives h initiates we want it to be non-barn we know the

american people overwhelmingly support an nishlt that improves the quality of life and to get the products to and from work and employees to and from home and again to clean and protect the virnlt as we create jobs we have have to build consensus i salute the people in san francisco for the rolls they've played over the years really decades to make many of the projects that are emerging now projects so that's consecutively the quail valley and hunters point and the transbay terminal with the enter connections with the parkway and the longtime in the planning and consensus building many of them possible because of president obama recognition this buildings infrastructure of america is essential to growing our economy with that, i'm pleased to give

we can take this further that's why the principles that go along with that this frontage exemplifies all of those triblts he at the same time, we can have a national conversation about raising people's minimum wage the lowest wage earners in america we've got that on the ballot in which it honors laborers and businesses and people that workout nonprofits we've brought them together and america can did do that request leader pelosi's help and the point they'll have the ability to raise minimum wage inventing here and across the have a r country so build americans bond

kind of infrastructure environmentalist we're capable of chief of police in the great united states a project like this doesn't just happen the leader said we've been through presidential terms even through many secretaries of transportation many mayors but leader pelosi has from the start been a steadfast champion for this project and it's really one of the key reigns wearable to stand here and demonstrate to extremelyat leader pelosi is bryan object the national stage we're trying to demonstrate what this can do and asking the san franciscans in november to accept the bond like the subway investments will create jobs and great transportation benefits in the long-term we're pleased to be able to demonstrate to the country what we can do in investing in our infrastructure

and connecting communities. so i want to thank all the folks that have joined us i have the great honor to bring you are forward a woman who has been a force in creating things in san francisco the central subway is subject to by america laws that all resourcing comes from the united states we have our own versus through sf made that is devoted to supporting and protecting local murray's and local production we're lucky to have this organization this is lead by someone that is building and breathing and figuring out how to get more production into our economy and get more people working i'm happy to welcome up our director of sf made

(clapping.) >> good morning. so i want to talk about san francisco as a national model for a maker city i thought about standing here talking about manufacturing and building is really all kindred spirit claiming the potential for the urban areas of this country to house this industry of the innovation and the creative class that isn't that true san francisco has brought together that's the power in what we see happening today when i look at the project like the central subway project i see the section are these and jobs and a transformation of the city accident take place h escape but it's a commitment to the manufacturing sector our siktsd in the city we have 5 hundred

and 40 active manufacturers that has doubt the administrators we've had since sf was launched in the heart of the recession i want to say when we talk about national prongz programs like make ♪ america the first program that baend was the original jobs now i have to give credit to nancy pelosi for her leadership jobs now, if you remember the original version go acted like an intrirm program through that placed individuals who worked chronically underemployed continue to have them in the jobs for at&t a year with the sub decided wage to continue that program were not successful but 80 percent of the people placed in the program in the

manufacturing seerth were remained by their employer so henship works so as we move forward for paid apprenticeship helps people in small businesses with manufacturing that is money well spent. going back to the maker of the economy we've created together i can't echo in view of what director reiskin said we're creating a model around infrastructure and how to connect with the diverse populations back which murray's and honestly setting a model that other cities are looking to reenergize allergies and aspire inspire folks that a construction job as well as a

expire to work and accurate things in tim buck too that brought folks from chinatown and will have direct access for their workers to get to work that we are remilking for the next generation to be a maker at sf we're proud to be on on the forefront i want to credit mayor ed lee and the folks of san francisco mayor ed lee is an official maker mayor, we saw for the first time the white house hosting a maker fair. so the spotlight is on us we have the national alliance and san francisco is a co-founder of that organization so let's show the rest of the country what is the possible by modeling here in san francisco keep up the great

was successful we don't want to leave anyone behind >> thank you to our friends in labor michael thank you ero for your support. central to borrow a word central to much of sth is raising the winging and san francisco has been on the forefront and on the ballot we have that initiate to raise the minimum wage that's important we want to value work as we attract people and drawing draw them in we want them to be able to have a decent wage by also it's essential to our economy because that money is spent a lot of immediately by people who are on margin spent immediately ejecting demand injecting demand into the economy that's one of the most more stimuli it comes together
