mr. wiener has just identified. supervisor chu: will you be submitting a technical adjustment that would include this increase? >> just to clarify for the budget and legislative analyst, i think the point here is not about credit and who uses it. it is a technical point that the controller raised regarding the ability of the board and the mayor to increase the total size of the budget. and because it is a new revenue, it requires the executive branch to increase the size of the budget. we will certainly be working with you on this and other questions of this nature. i know there are other questions that have come up about encumbrances and increasing the size of the fund balance, so we are here to work with you and the legislative analyst on this issue. supervisor chu: thank you. i want to thank mr. rose for identifying the source of revenue. and if we can do or take the recommendations without objection, and then reserve the $1 million to be added back through a technical adjustment, we can do that without objection

mr. wiener's religious convictions knowing him to be jewish and a regular attendee at synagogue.rom such recklessness. the same question of other figures from evangelists to wall street money money. talking about the importance of personal morality to end up being dashed upon the acts of their own stupidity. why did they do it? i think one answer may be found in a commencement address that was given by the late david foster wallace in 2005 to the graduating class of canyon college in ohio. david foster wallace was a novelist and academic. as he addressed fresh-faced graduates, he said the key to life is not who you are but who you worship. in the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheist. everybody worships. the only choice we get is what to worship. if you worship money and things, then you will never have enough. worship your intellect being seen as smart, and you will end up feeling stupid. a fraud. always on the edge of being found out. worship your own body and sexual allure and you'll always feel ugly. judging by the pictures that have co

supervisor wiener: thank you, mr. president. i am proud to be a co-sponsor of this bond, union i am strongly supporting it. this is a key part of our capital plan, and it will play a key role in keeping the infrastructure of our city intact. i think it's important to note where we are, that we have hundreds of millions of dollars of defer maintenance on our roads. this is not a situation where we can just pay to bring our roads up to par out of our general fund. as much as we may want to do that, it is not possible given the 30 years we have neglected our road and allowed them to fall into this state of disrepair. in addition, i wanted to address to points that some who are skeptical of the bond have raised. the first is that this is not an atypical way of funding road reconstruction and resurfacing. the department of public works surveyed other cities, and it actually is a common practice to use bonding to do that capital work. the other issue i do want to take head-on is the notion that road work such as resurfacing or road re

mr. rose. supervisor wiener? >> thank you. first i want to -- and i meant this as an inquiry as well just to compliment your staff. during elections candidates are some of the most difficult people in the world to deal with and your staff amazingly are patient and helpful. i just wanted to note that. i have a question about something that we -- something that we talked about. but i don't know if it actually happened and that is any kind of movement towards electronic voting sig nag chur collection, things like that. i know there was an op-ed in "the chronicle" about that. i'm wondering because obviously that has significant cost implications and security implications as well. i'm just wondering if you envision any movement towards that in the for seeable future? >> i'll do the voting system first. we're finding out is that i think there will always be a paper ballot but the system will digitize the information, scanning both sides of the ballot are somehow capture the information that's on the ballot, but not having to handle

wiener: thank you. the next question is for mr. ford. why do -- why does muni run one part of the train in the underground during the a.m. and p.m. rush hour? >> that is a very good question. we have one-car trains along with two-car trains. we scheduled those trains based on the ridership of four particular lines. the n-line carries 15,000 people a day. we have a limited number of railcars, and we have to equally divide them based on the ridership per line. that is the formula. it is not unique to the me system. that is how it is done in the transit industry across the country. -- it is not unique to the muni system. rail cars are expensive. we are looking at increasing the fleets. in the meantime, we're doing this rehabilitation. the fleet increases another 25 cars over the next 10 years. atthe same time, we will be looking at a new design of car in terms of weeks as well as dealing with low floor vehicles versus the stairs in the vehicles we have now. thank you.

[applause] supervisor wiener: thank you, mr. mayor. i represent this district on the board of supervisors. we always talk about how important small business is in terms of creating jobs, in terms of having interesting neighborhoods where we have unique businesses and not a complete takeover by chain stores, but then, we do not always put our money where our mouth is, and we make it difficult sometimes for small businesses to succeed. in my office, at least once a week, we learned of a new arcane regulations or permit or fee or something preventing small businesses from succeeding. so it is so nice and so productive when the city is able to take a pro-active steps to help small businesses financially -- take a pro-active steps -- take pro-active steps to help small businesses financially. we have a real diverse array of interesting small businesses, so i am proud that we have been able to do this, and especially what we have been able to do on valencia's street. so congratulations and best of luck. -- especially what we have been able t
