my name is charla grimes and i work at general hospital, but prior to that i'm a single mother. i have lived here in san francisco all my life. i went to school here and i was on welfare. i worked my way up from welfare and went to school, city college, and all the schools here in san francisco, and worked my way up to the mayor's office. i had the opportunity and the great pleasure of working for two mayors here in san francisco. now, i'm at general hospital working with a bunch of amazing people and hard working people, and it's the hardest job that i ever had in my life. i'm a health worker too. i am on that list as well. i had to leave san francisco because i couldn't live here anymore. i had section eight and i had to give it up because even with section eight i couldn't live here anymore because this city is so high cost of living. i worry about this. i worry about you cutting our pay, cutting my pay. i feel that i won't be able to come to work to get here to work because everything else is going up. bart and everything else and our checks are going down, and please superv
