i graduated and got an apprenticeship from the carpenters union after four years. i now make a living, and i can support me and my family. i have the insurance. all of this could not be possible without the help i received from the cdfc. everyone feels like family, because i know they care about me and my family. for me to hear they are having some problems with the community center, as a community member, i think it is very important for cdfc to be able to build this. and we should help them. thank you very much for letting me speak. >> thank you. >> next speaker please. >> i can turn the microphone on. just drag it over. >> good evening, madame president, commissioner. >> i am sorry, but as a board member of the organization that owns the property, your time to speak was in the three minutes mr. lee had to speak. >> i did not know that. >> that is the board's rules. the rule is the affiliated party has to speak during the time given. >> never mind. >> >> is there any other public comment? seeing none, commissioners, the matter is submitted. >> comments, commissio

local 22 carpenters union. 20-year plan -- i think someone has been doing their homework. they think the train is ready to leave the station, and i think we all need to hop on board. this is a wonderful project, obviously. and ed reiskin brought up a good point. the area is changing. it is growing. we have to grow with it. we need to accommodate. we need to get ready. you have proven that with your resolution, and it is in the right direction. i want to thank supervisor farrell for pointing out to the grand jury that they missed the report that zynga was moving into the area and also that salesforce was moving into the area. closer to the subway. i guess twitter is kind of far. we need to grow. we need to accommodate that because the area is growing, and this is good. i think a lot of people have done their homework. thank you very much. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker please. >> good afternoon. i want to comment on grand jury finding 26. no one likes to transfer, but the jury correctly noted that direct service to a number of stops along embarcadero, a few stop

i want you to know this table was built by union carpenter.h less chronic low back pain. imagine living your life with less chronic osteoarthritis pain. imagine you, with less pain. cymbalta can help. cymbalta is a non-narcotic treatment that's fda-approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. one pill a day, every day, can help reduce this pain. tell your doctor right away if your mood worsens, you have unusual changes in mood or behavior or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. cymbalta is not approved for children under 18. people taking maois or thioridazine or with uncontrolled glaucoma should not take cymbalta. taking it with nsaid pain relievers, aspirin, or blood thinners may increase bleeding risk. severe liver problems, some fatal, were reported. signs include abdominal pain and yellowing of the skin or eyes. talk with your doctor about your medicines, including those for migraine, or if you have high fever, confusion and stiff muscles, to address a possible life-threatening

we wanted to particular thing belabors and carpenters for introducing the agreement to make sure that this agreement works, to make sure that it is union work as well. union benefits and wages are key to ensuring mobility for low income communities, as well as making sure the construction work itself is maintained at critical standards. we do have one concern. we were hoping it would be addressed today as part of the discussion, moving to the pla board. that is making sure, if the federal government decides to change its current prohibition on geographic preferences, local and regional hiring are incorporated, and that the parties are able to come back to the table to talk about local and re as director reiskin and director kim pointed out in the last meeting, we saw indications, positive indications, that the federal government can potentially change its position on local hiring, which is a ronald reagan-era band that exists. there are two examples of this. the obama administration level, there was a report called reading pathway to opportunity in 2011, which describes how local hiring is a job creation strategy at the local and regio

union. i am a carpenter. i have a function and i am 21 years old. of my friends are getting out of college and going to college and i know people that apply for up to 30 jobs and do not hear back. it is such an undetermined thing. what you're just discussing when you're saying, just going for degreed but they do not necessarily know exactly what they want a career out of that degree, what it would be. i think it is completely insane that you're putting yourself into debt and you do not even know what the outcome is for your career and your overall future. my job, i like to consider it a career. i plan on doing it for the next 50 years and retiring in making a good wage and an honest living. host: we will leave it there. that was in new hampshire. i want to attack on this tweet that we have from susan. guest: the evidence suggests that that is now really true. we know that when we test people in high school, especially in subject matter, especially their knowledge, and we test them again at the end of college careers, that the increase in knowledge i
