and they've said, call for public comment and given the number i've called as soon as they said and because of the delay, it's been late and i haven't been able to provide public comment. so i feel like my brown act rights and i love the brown act, as you know, i feel like in those cases my brown act rights are kind of violated because there was not enough time given for me to even call it because of the delay. it changes all the time which is weird. sfgov gov needs to get rid of the lower third. shrink it down so we can see who is in the meeting. i appreciate most of the things about supervisors have done and and i don't support -- >> thank you for your comments. operations, is there another caller, please.
