think that's what opened up that discussisurprised that we are allowed to set up a third-party /aeu /koupblt. i think it's just problematic that any entity can do /tphaet donate. it seems to be a big loophole that i didn't realize existed. this is not anything on what the da done. this is just my overall feeling about the way state law operates. i think it's problematic and i hope with can have a bigger discussion about this. i will be supporting this today. it is legal under state law so i won't disagree with that. >> just a last comment. when i first got on the board of supervisors, it was during the budget committee /-fp we had a handful of items that were retro active accept and expends and we took exception to those. that's why i brought it up right now. we have a trend that's happening now. proliferation of retro active accept and expends that i think we should tighten up moving forward. this is one of 'em. this is one that pains me more than others. i think it's important to point out. >> any further discussion? let's take a vote. >> item 15 supervisor chiu, i; cohen i, farrell i, kim
