mr. lazarus or mr. halgi about some of the challenges around the ada lawsuits against some of our small businesses and that's an issue that i know supervisor tang has done an enormous amount of work on that issue and we've worked with our merchants and our district on that issue and it's a very, very challenging one. i don't think that this is in the same category, you know, when you have people going around saying there's the step up to your store is wrong or there's some sort of physical issue because you have an old building, that's a real -- that's a huge, broad issue. this is about a discrete set of employees who are entitled to parental leave and they get it or not, hopefully every employer will comply, but in terms of our paid sick leave ordinance and our minimum wage ordinance and our private rights of action, i have not seen any evidence of abuse in those lawsuits and this is a more narrow law because it affects fewer employees, so i very much appreciate the motion but i will not be supporting
