so many ways our adherence and defense of these values define us as san francisco mpt inclusion over exclusion, tolerance ofern discrimination and commitment for respect for the individual makes us who we are as a city. in our catholic church has the right to insure the catholic faith is taught and up hp held in the schools. but for a pastor to deny young weapon the ability to serve as alter girms as example, as we celebrate womens history month completely discredits what young women have brought to had catholic church. this is the point we should look to include people and encourage people to be part of the community, not exclude them. i think most parntsly as weez heard from people tonight to require teachers to sign a

contract and to afirm and believe many of the practices the church discouraged is evil crosses the line. disageeing with the teachings doesn't mean i or anyone here isn't a catholic or bad catholic, but disagrees and has a caujss that tells them otherwise. plike many people talked about i don't know what to say whether they are teachers parents or student who believe in those values as well. what do we say to the teachers that are part of the lgb community or the friends who are part of the lgb community? insuch we stand up for everyone. we stand up for the community and honor and embrace those that choose to do the same. our features play such a important role for our children and families and i want to thank members of the

arch diseize and high sools that came out, even a wild cat, thank you for being out here, but the disconteent and uncertaintyly and confuse the stream of events caused it not only unnecessarily but avoidable and in my opinion unconsciousenable. we can not talk out of both sides of our mouth. honoring our teachers and placing restriction on employment and creating a culture of fear that has no place in our schools right now. the message is coming from pope franceing and the archdiocese cannot be more at odds in the tone and approach and this causes confusion over what the real message of the chunch is and it is what dishardens me as a catholic. it is unfortunate when there is a constant need for par tisitation in everything we need here in san francisco. we
6:03 pm
need to be galvanized and notdroid in solving our issues that face us. we continue to have violence on the streets and continue to have homeless issues and have so many issues that need or attention and argue and suggest need a strong catholic community. i love pope frances quote, i prefer a church which is bruised hurtding and dirty because it has been in sth streets rather than a church that is confined and cleaned from the own security. i'll say again this week, i expect as a legislator and pray as a cath lack that events are resolved in a manner similar to the resolution we are voting on today which honors the cont butions of the

rolph stared into the crowds of those who have gathered. a moment in history. the birth of a publicly own transit system. san francisco municipal railway. muni as it would become to be known. happy birthday muni, here is to the next 100 years. the birth of muni had been a long-time coming. over the years the city was disjointed privately owned companies. horses and steam and electric-powered vehicles. creating a hodgepodge of transit options. none of them particularly satisfying to city residents. the city transit system like the
6:14 pm
city itself would have changes during the san francisco earthquake. the transition that will pursue from this aftermath would change san francisco's transportation system once again. facilitated by city boss, abe ruth ushering in the electric city car. the writing was on the wall. the clammer had begun for the experiment including public transit people. owned by the people and for the people. the idea of a consolidated city-owned transit system had begun traction. and in 1909, voters went to the polls and created a bond measure to create the people's railway.
6:15 pm
would become a reality three years later. on december 28 1912 mayor sonny rolph introduced the new geary electric streetcar line and the new san francisco railway. that he said would be the nucleus that would host the city. and san francisco gave further incentive to expand the city's network. a project by way of tunnel leading into chinatown by way of north beach. in december the first streetcar was driven into the tunnel. just two years after its berth, muni had added two lines.
6:16 pm
and k, l and m lines that span out from westportal. in 1928 the j line opened heading west to the beach. in 1944 san francisco voters finally approved muni take-over of the market street railway. by then motor bus and trolley bus improvement had given them the ability to conquer san francisco's hills. after the war most of the street-car lines would be replaced with motor or trolley bus service. in 1947, the mayor recommended replacing two lines with motor coaches. and it appeared that san francisco's iconic cable cars had seen their final days. entered mrs. cluskin, the leader to save the cable cars.

were officially inaugurated. in that same year muni received its first fleet of buses equipped with wheelchair lifts. in 1982 when the cable car had a shut-down, they added an alternative attraction to the cars. the festival was a huge hit and would continue for the next four summers in a permanent f-line that would extend all the way to fisherman's wharf, by 2000 the f-line was in place. and in 2007 muni extended the third line to the southeast corner and returning to third street. for the first time in 60 years.
6:19 pm
in the course of last 100 years, muni's diverse workforce forged by men and women of innovation have reflected the many cultures that flock to the city. muni's ground-breaking antidiscrimination has guaranteed equal opportunity for all. the city's policy mandates the course for the future as they work diligently to increase options and increase multialternatives, and deduce -- reduce the carbon footprint. it continues to improve the systems. during this sen -- centennial year we reflect on the transit system. driven notthat.
