stife san francisco league of women voters and i'm here today to discuss proposition a, a proposition that voters will be voting on on november 2nd. this will authorize the city of san francisco to issue general obligation bonds the bonds would be used to finance earthquake retrofitting on affordable housing and some of room occupancy buildings that currently deemed to be at risk during an earthquake, this will allow an increase of property taxes to take the bonds. i have the chairmen of the san francisco republican party and an opponent of proposition a. >> first of all, generally speaking, bonds are used for government buildings. part of this building is a government owned but part of them are privately owned income- producing buildings. we don't think that the taxpayers should have to pay to retrofit privately-owned buildings. the landlords own knees and they did not have to pay these bonds -- the landlords own these and they did not have to pay these bonds back. san francisco has roughly six and a half billion dollar annual budget. the infrastructure is always the last thing. you
