i am sure. with this crisis, was there any particular one thing that prompted you to start donating to journalism classes? toig: about years ago i went a meeting in aspen sponsored by charlie firestone. there were a lot of publishers and reporters there and they started educating me on what they thought i should know long-term about the news industry. i was not really conscious of that education for several years, but then things started clear to me. what i learned in high school history -- because my teacher taught me a trustworthy presses the immune system of democracy. so, i started taking action. bute not terribly informed, i started learning and learning more. and then i realized i needed to stand up. i needed to put my money where my mouth is, to get committed, to stay committed, and to be relentless in that matter. andrea: some of the tactics by the markup may violate terms of service agreements. terms of sermon agreements, which then, people performing an automated action of -- should te

i am a family caseworker in soma i am also a resident of the tenderloin.i am here to the appeal of the central soma and request you also support the appeal because there are direct and serious health impacts that results in gentrification and the displacement that must be studied and taken into account. the u.s. centers for disease control states displacement has many health implications that contribute to disparities among special populations including the poor, women cracked children , the elderly, and members of rush -- racial ethnic minority groups. displaced people are prone to stress, and mental health issues including the death. there is also a direct connection between displacement and homelessness with the 2,017 th san francisco point time count indicating 70% of homeless individuals surveyed were housed in the city before becoming homeless. sixty-five% -- the central soma plan creates the second financial district at the expense of families, youth and seniors living, and working and going to school in soma. the scale of development and the mix of

. >> i am paula randle. i am a guest living in the inner richmond. i was really interested in your question about what was the intention of the first dorsal person who gave $100,000 in regard to that statue. my question is, who cares klee individuals and cities and organizations make mistakes all the time. a mistake was made in 1890, whatever it was, it can be rectified in 2017. it is time that we did this. >> thank you. >> i am a third generation of my family to be so proud and happy to call san francisco my home. it is with humility that i offer myself as an ally and solidarity with the people here. i am an artist. all art is a reflection of its time. this artwork was put up in 1894. with only 45 years after the gold rush. the goldrush came with a very specific mandates against native people that were sanctioned by the state and by the government. they included a bounty of five dollars for a decapitated head. at 25 cents for a scalp. and another amount for an ear but i was too second to remember that was only spoken of just a few days ago. i couldn

i am missing some names here.re are people who are capable of it and do a great job, like liz warren, and tammy duckworth. on the house side, there is will hurt, and, oh, probably -- i am missing some folks, too. but there are folks that i have great confidence in. -- for example, will hurt, about cyber security issues. >> how did that conversation go? >> that was kind of fun, because -- i, of course, freely admit as a nerd i am lacking in social skills. and so, it was entertaining to connect with someone who may share my issues. was that indirect enough? >> [ laughter ] >> that was pretty indirect. so one more washington question here. do you think that there should be a federal antitrust investigation of google and facebook for online plat warm bias? -- platform bias? >> there is no bias in that sense. there are a lot of good people in the federal agency still there, i met a lot when i was spending more time in washington. and i think more time is needed to investigate -- well, consider, why terms of service --

i am not a movie with suzanne? you know, i wanted to be here right away. >> the difficult thing is that, these hearings are set, set by the majority. but, i am talking about getting the evidence and having the evidence looked at, and i do not understand you know, we hear from the witnesses, but the fbi is not interviewing them. is not giving us any facts, so all we have -- >> you are interviewing me. you are doing it, senator. i am sorry to interrupt but you are doing it. there is no conclusions reached. >> and, what you are saying if i understand it, is that the allegations by doctor ford, ms. ramirez, and miss sweatnick are wrong. >> that is emphatically what i am saying, emphatically. the sweatnick thing is a joke, it is a farce. >> would you like to say more about it? >> no. >> the ranking dianne feinstein, and kavanaugh. >> maria, are you with us? >> we will go to any in new baltimore, go ahead, please pick >> yes, i would like to talk about the brian williams effect. and a person can retell a story in there -

i am wondering if i am in san francisco or if i am in fresno. i have to tell you, it is disconcerting to hear staff, basically sounding like they are being led by the agricultural irrigation districts. i want to give you a point, to put a finer point on that. you are being asked to ignore the findings, the scientific findings of the department and fished out a fish and wildlife. i would argue they did a good job at looking at this issue and what they needed. you are told they looked at the wrong river and they do not know what they are talking about. they know quite a bit of what they're talking about. you're being asked to accept a science developed by a group called fish bio. they are well known in the central valley. the major agricultural grill ears in the sacramento valley tend not to use them. they argue -- they are using the san joaquin valley of the word on the street as you will get the response from fish bio. let me live in the conversation with that. i would encourage all of you to do your own research. at other independent sources be

i am not a bigot. i am not a racist. i am innocent.nd white guilt causes this drive to prove and establish innocence. and so then we have a whole generation of black leaders who do one thing, and one thing only, milk white guilt. and we're at a moment, i thought this protest that was telling in that regard. kind of appointed -- kind of at a point in which culture meeting turning, it was a fruitless protest, it achieved nothing. mark: could the culture be turning? but elites digging in? >> that is wha well said. mark: more and more, i watch the debates on television. people very easily almost casualty call people they disagree with racist. if they disagree with a political agenda or a particular issue, that is come from the left, what do you make of it? >> 'is white guilt, it is meant to disarm you of moral authority. when they scream racism all of the time, saying you're a racist. you don't have moral authority to bieto deal with the issue or problem you are dealing with, because you are a racist, of there you are mor morally comp myse

i am a resident of north beach and i am also a piledriver local 34. i am here today to voice my support for this project. i am all for it. there is over 2 million square feet of new construction and it will provide a local and future jobs in the area. i am also glad it is a local project because i will have the opportunity to work close to home so i don't have to travel. at least not that far. less travel, the better for me. i have been doing it for 32 years. it will provide jobs, at completion. 1500 units of housing opportunity for san francisco residents. san francisco has a housing shortage and these project contributes to the solution and not the problem. think about it. these acts today and let's move forward with the india basin process. thank you. >> supervisor tang: next speaker, please. >> my name is francisco. i am a member of local 22 in san francisco. i'm standing in front of you to show support for the project. as a carpenter apprentice, this will give me an opportunity towards getting a good paying job and hands-on experience that is nec

i am speak to kellyanne, in fact she just walked in. i am speaking to bob woodward. why didn't you tell me? i would have very happy to speak to him. so i have another bad book coming out. well, other than lindsey who quickly mentioned it. nobody told me about it. why don't you speak to kellyanne ask her. >> hi, bob, how are you? >> remember, two and a half months ago, i came over and i said i wanted to talk to the president. >> i did. and i put in the request. and it was rejected. so i did, i presented it the people here who make those decisions. but anyway, i will give you back to the president. and i am glad to hear that you tried seven or eight people, you should tell him all the names, thank you. >> but you never called for me. i have a secretary, i have two, three secretaries. if you would have called directly. raj, i don't speak to raj. and kellyanne went to somebody, but she didn't come to me. and she should have come to me. >> does she have access to you? >> absolutely. direct access. and that's okay, i will end up with another bad book. what can i tell you.

i am not bitter, i am blessed.redeemable, because according to that great gospel song, i have been redeemed by the blood of the lamb. now i understand that joe biden has been talking smack about you good people. he says that you are the dregs of society. that is what he says. i say it is better to be a drag on society than an unemployed mama's boy living in his mother's basement. and i make no apologies, not anymore, for my support of this great president. because he has done something that has not been done since ronald reagan was in office. he is actually delivering on his campaign promises. jobs are coming back to america. tax reform is taking money out of uncle sam's bank account and has put it right back into ours. he is ensuring young men and women that not everyone has to go to college. and as a son of an election, as the product of a blue-collar upbringing, i am here today to tell you that america needs more construction workers and mechanics and welders and bricklayers. we are restoring a work ethic in ame

i am am playing for seat number seven. offer the last three and-a-half years we accomplished so much in collaboration with ece. we have created a more integrated early care system, increased access to ece for low income families, addressed the crisis in the work force around compensation. we continue to address equity issues among our target populations. my goal as someone with experience and provider is to continue to transform our educational system by actively participating and being a voice and challenging and highlighting the things not working and doing the best to represent the voices not at the table, which is children, families, teachers and providers. if selected to continue to be in this i look forward to an early learning scholarship 2.0, grand breaking planning and work and more integrated data sums for the systems we are part of. i am asking for reappointment to citizens advisory as i continue to serve the city of san francisco. thank you. i am open to questions. >> we will call you back up. >> you are curren

i am going to open it up to questions from the audience. >> i am the official mic lady. we are going to switch to talkshow format. toave to hand you the mic make sure everybody can hear the question. players' a comment on social activism on the college level. i grew up in sports, my father played basketball for ohio state university. he was the starting forward and his teammates were john havel check and bobby knight. he went on to play for the philadelphia 76ers, and while he beat out his white counterparts who were power forwards, he was traded because they brought in and other black player and they could only have three black players at a time. he went on to coach, so he was in that wave of black assistant coaches. there was the white head coach and black assistant coaches who would deal directly with the players, so my dad is in that era. he coached western michigan in the late 1960's, and in the late 1960's, the black players and black students sat down during the national anthem. the students sat down, the players were on their court with their heads down and raisi

i am 64 years old and i don't look it but i am 64. i am a senior. but i am here to tell the city and county about the bay, which i call city hall. i call it silly hall. but i think they will change it back to city hall. i am from the fillmore. they call it the fill no more because we don't have anything. we can't talk about housing and none of that. >> hello. my name -- my name is sarah. i'm with the housing rights committee. this shouldn't be something that has had proposition ten. it only lets the city pass local law. all it is doing is giving you all permission to debate whether you have a better rent control law or a stronger one. it does nothing to mandate anything. in san francisco, this is a clear case of you are either for rent control or you aren't. you can't pretend to be for tenants and against evictions and not vote for this. we know katy tang, you have never been for tenants and always been in the pocket of developers. but for the rest of the supervisors, including supervisor safai, apologies. safai. that this is a clear case. if you be

first, as you heard, i am newly retired. i am 100 some odd days into the new life. as this was unfolding, i was struck by a couple of things. first, i agree with the fundamental premise that it is the right of every citizen to express their views. i have spent my professional life making sure that right remains. i truly believes that is one of our strengths. two things that gave me pause. the first, one things i have been a part of have always remembered, it is about the outcomes. i said to myself, is this going to be effective? i thought, a group of former senior intelligence officials being -- officials complaining about how another official is being treated, i'm not sure that is the best way to address a valid concern. i applaud admiral mcraven, for example. i thought what he did was truly professional. that was truly effective. someone who had no dog in the fight, directly, spoke up to say there is a fundamental principle here. i also thought, throwing gasoline on a fire is not going to reduce the flames. we have enough fires burning. we need to focus on the out

i am a documentary filmmaker. i have made five films about the bay, delta and greenbelt over the last 30 years. i also made another film but that does not have to do with the water. in addition, i am a bay swimmer. i have been swimming in san francisco bay for 32 years. and i am very familiar with the bay delta system. i have been since the seventies. i am here to tell you that negotiated settlements that have been made over the past 30 years have not worked. i produced a film about the san joaquin river which had so much water to get out of it, as you no kak that sections of it, literally run dry. i have been swimming in the bay and i can tell you that the bay itself is saltier than it used to be because we get less water flowing down from the rivers. i i urge you to support the state water board's plan because it is adaptive management. it is a compromise. it is science-based. and it will work to protect the environment and the cities. i have been sitting here for several hours listening to people's say things a

i am a lifetime resident. i am asking you to support the resolution to stop kaiser from outsourcing our jobs. i am an 18 year employee with kaiser. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i am with senior and disability action. let me ask you something. how many of you remember when you were making $15 an hour? if you have ever? do you? i remember. i am a single mom. it was very hard to survive on that. so we still have workers making $15 an hour. that shouldn't be the case in san francisco when we have people making millions of dollars. like what they were just saying about people in other places. i can say, that isn't it weird times now that we live in times where people get replaced by robots in different industries? please, consider our people first. consider their living wage for the workers. we need them. i know my members would not be able to participate in the community. many of them, seniors and some people with disabilities, would not be able to participate actively in the community without them. s

i am jenny smith. i represent the construction employers comprised of 100 or so union building contractors in northern california. 25% of whom are san francisco based contractors. our members are the general contractors building the contracts enabled by the proposed central soma plan, multi family, affordable housing. among the members are the nippy brothers, clark construction. mccarthy, dome construction company, cahill contractors. planned construct company. the list goes on. a sustained neighborhood by 2040. upholding the appeals in our view would jeopardize 8 million square feet of class a construction. 2 billion in you public benefits and hamper the production of affordable house upping units des -- housing units needed now in the future. many projects will create millions of work hours for union workers and local construction workers. these jobs will pay living wages and provide pension benefits and create numerous apprentice you opportunities and create you the housing. much needed space in the

. >> thank you for the opportunity i i am a san francisco resident. i am a big fan of your work. i'm a proud and super green subscriber. i live here and i'm happy to see the rain gardens that have shown up recently. a shout out to the hummingbird farm as well. i am urging you to support the state's plan in its current form i believe that seeking equitable water management solutions meant serving the needs of a healthy san francisco while contributing to healthy regional ecosystems and i believe it strikes a balance and it reflects the values of our city. as you know know, the most complex and persistent problems or housing, transportation and resource management and they continue to require regional approach if we want to find just solutions. san franciscans like myself reduced our water usage during the 2010-2016 drought. i i also witnessed continued economic growth. my understanding is we had plenty of water held in reserve at the end of that. and also some very fundamental conservation measures were only very recently being adopted using recycled water to irrigate our numerous

i am a pro law judge. as justice kennedy showed us, a judge must be independent, not swayed by public pressure. our independent judiciary is the crown jewel of our constitutional republic. in our independent judiciary, the supreme court is the last line of defense for the separation of powers. and for the rights and liberties guaranteed by the constitution. the supreme court must never, never be viewed as a partisan institution. the justices on the supreme court do not sit on opposite sides of an aisle. they do not caucus in separate rooms. in confirmed to the supreme court, i would be part of a team of nine. committed to deciding cases according to the constitution and laws of the united states. i will always strive to be a team player on the team of nine. throughout my life i tried to serve the common good in keeping with my jesuit high school's motto. i have worked at a high school for boys at low income families. catholic charities, i serve meals to the homeless with my friend, father john ensler. and

i joined the sorority if 2002 and since i have joined, i joined for a number of reasons, but one, i am very passionate about serving, not just our local communities, buspar nationally. i do--but internationally. i do travel to support efforts through africa and the anlly as native of richmond, california, it has alls been a passion of mine to--always been a passion of mine to serve the community, the greater community. >> i was pastor of easter hill united methodist church r 13 years back in the 70s to the 90s. >> awesome. >> and what about you. >> oh, well, i was initiated in back in 2014, so i came in what we call graduate chapter. i am a native of the peninsula, and so the same, so we are just coming to the community and serving the community, not just your local community, but the bay area. so i live in the east bay, being from the peninsula and got involved. >> so you went to high school? san mateo? >> yes, and i went to oakland. i was born in oak hand, raised in richmond and my patientings worked in d--my parents worked in oakland and san francisco. >> and there was a leadership

so i am in favor. [laughter] i am not actually in favor of them smoking it kids seem to be adult enough. but really they don't use cash much. i hate that because it will leave an indelible record on everything we do. just as that constant application with placement closer to television has a constant record of everything we do this, these are pernicious problems. as we learned this morning from the newspaper that the english caught up with the russian assassins because of the ubiquitous network of closed-circuit television. that is why i want them want tht but they won't be because it is russia. but obviously there are benefits to a cashless society. there are advantages to closed-circuit television crime-fighting however this puts us in a position of having all the two - - tools of a surveillanceen state in place we're not pleased with the past couple of administrations why would you leave the tools laying around for a really bad government to operate? >> i don't like them in place for fear somebody w

next speaker, please. >> you i am james fahey. i am here to speak at a later you subject. this is coming up. i am listening to what is going on and reading about the project. if there is a fundamental process issue to be addressed by the city. i think it would help city to help consider design thinking as opposed to traditional design. the difference is the traditional design makes the decision up front and tries to kind of power through barriers to get approval to get finalized. design thinking actually as you can see in the diagram begins with a lot of empathy in the beginning and listening to input from individuals upfront and it is also something that is put forth by stanford university you can find information on youtube about this. it is common here. a lot of comments here at this point in time shouldn't becoming in at this point in the process. it should be much further early on. thank you very much. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisor. i am a research analyst at the hotel workers' union. i will leave it to the clerk i

i am the cochair. the african-american parent advisory council supports the increased protection and rights under the resolution for our students and families in both charter and public schools. the passing of this resolution will allow families the rights to fair treatment, transparency at every step, based on feedback from our members. we know that some of students with behavioral and academic challenges are not provided with appropriate and responsive services within the charter school system. having deeper accountability around how students are receiving access to essential support and the vehicle to advocate for the resources needed, is vital to the success of our children. the resolution also supports and protects current sfusd families from the intrusion of additional charter schools. it would give a voice to the community and allow us the opportunity to partner with the districts and co- location that is being considered. we implore you to pass a resolution and create -- that will create an opp

i am asking myself, am i going to live to see the next day? really.ike, that is what is going through my mind, am i going to live to see the next day? because if ever at any point she has a moment alone with me and i make it through whatever happens when i get home and talk to them, lord knows what she is going to do, that is what i'm thinking. so i get on my bike and i get home as quickly as i can, and my mom puts on probably the best show i have ever seen. anyone would have thought she was an impeccable person. everyone would have thought she was impeccable. she was so classy, so courteous, so kind, so generous, so giving. do you want some lemonade? i really like your blouse. tell me about this. she was just so gregarious. you would have loved her. very affable. anyone would been completely fooled. you would think someone had no idea what they were doing in making this call, they had heard the wrong story or have the wrong person, it doesn't make any sense. so they leave, and they say their line they have to say, we will continue looking into matter

i am a strong voice, i'm a tough negotiator, i am not a puppet, and i am not a pushover. you know that i will put your interests first at city hall. i will bring a balance to the board of supervisors of common sense. thank you. >> thank you very much. and now, i ask all of you, please give a great round of applause to all these persons who want to be your representative in district four.
