the staff, anybody but listen to the public. they are so concerned but what the people that voted to put them inose seats have to say they will do anything they can to ignore every single word. i think any voter in san francisco who votes for you should come here whether or not they speak to just observe how you treat public comment. first, plan on the whole afternoon because it could be anywhere from 2:30 to 8 thrt clck before you speak. you get 2 minutes instead of the 3 mandated by sun shine ordinance because they would rather bloveiate for a hour on roll call and introduction instead of listen to the citizen. they will not obey the laws. i have 19 orders of determination on citiesagy squz 4 members of the board of supervisor who have not reply today my request in violation
5:01 pm
not only of the sun shine ordinance, but the california records act. i think if a voter who really values his or her vote came here and saw the way you treat the public during public comment they would have your back sides out of those seats so fast it wouldn't be funny. i wouldn't surprised if some got areculeed. you should be ashame odsf the way you treat the pub lb and especially the way you usual procedural issues and other bs to try to silence people you don't agree with and let people you aprove of go on and on >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> tom [inaudible] 37 years ago mayor mas coney put a gay man here in one of these seats.
