commissioner chiu, i see your hand raised. >> commissioner chiu: yes. thank you chair ambrose and director pelham and the entire ethics commission staff. what a tremendous year really, congratulations and kudos for not only doing all this work but doing it from home, from your kitchen juggling childcare and stress and overhanging of the pandemic. this is just tremendous. really proud to be part of this work. i think the only comments i have on the report relate to additional headers and formatting. for example on page 3, maybe right in the middle of the photo -- first paragraph, we could put a heading in there to break things up. the graphs by topic. i can send this off line afterwards. but with areas of focus or program focus and then at the end on page 4, i would love to see under results like the major highlights, we have the highest percentage of public finance ever in the history of the program. we dispersed however many -- almost $3.5 million and closed out -- so pull some of those highlights into page 4 so at a glance, if the public only reads th

commissioner chiu you had your hand up. >> commissioner chiu: i had a question for mr. ford. the provisions you highlighted, given the kind of ongoing and ever widening corruption scandal out of dpw, does this statement of incompatible activities capture those activities we think should be restricted or otherwise addressed in sia of this nature? >> my approach in looking at this sia and any sia is to see if it's in line with other sia's. i think any new policies the commission would want to pursue, the sia is not the ideal vehicle for that. the ideal for new policies is to put it in the code or regulation so it applies uniformly across the board to all departments. unfortunately this is a shortcoming of the model itself. we have as many sia's as department and changing one doesn't change of all the other departments. as far as new rules needed in light of what we have learned over the last 18 or so months, i think the code is really where i'm fixated. >> in an ideal world we would have rules and legislation applied equally across the board. but given the allegations that have

commissioner chiu. >> commissioner chiu: thank you chair ambrose. i would agree with commissioner bush and i think that as i look at this, and i know this is just a draft format. as we present the numbers i think last year we had very clear charts. i think that would be a wonderful way in the beginning, just a year at a glance. these are all the -- to commissioner bush's point, these were the number of requests, the number of audits, the number of public funds dispersed through the revised program and then in terms of organizing the rest of the report and the summary of the key highlights, i always like to think of what are the key themes that emerged from the year. on page 2, the focus was improve program impact and ensure service excellence. we take those three as the guiding organizing principles for the report, we can say here's what we did to improve programs, impacts and for that, i would say off the top of my head, the public financing campaign was tremendous. the results we had, we had the highest number of candidates turning to the public f

i have been proud to stand with leaders like assembly member david chiu bill king to call for unity against the racist attacks but to bring forward solutions to support our residents and to send a clear message that the disgusting attacks against our api community must end now and that doesn't just mean having more law enforcement on our streets. it means continuing and expanding programs like our community guardians. these multi-racial street patrol teams are walking the streets and neighborhoods like this one and visitation valley and the inner richmond, the tenderloin, san bruno avenue and other areas. they know the community. they are from these communities and they are bridging cultural divides, building relationships and watches out for the most vulnerable. this is exactly the kind of program my budget will invest in. it means continuing to fund the senior s corp. program which is serving members of this community. we are also launching an ambitious plan to have community ambassadors up and down mid market corridor and across all of downtown and our waterfront. again, these are ambass

with the way in which the catholic church was effectively abusing mothers, babies, and not justin chiu, but right across ireland as well. i'm lawrence lee and i've been covering stories about what i call institutional violence against women in ireland. and between us. i think it's one of the most outrageous human rights abuses that most of the outside world doesn't know anything about. i never even heard of chew. it's a completely anonymous little place right in the middle of ireland, which nobody had ever heard of at all until in 2014. this historian discovered that underneath there and in the grounds of what used to be a great big mother and baby homes were the remains of 800 babies. whose bodies had been dumped by the nuns who ran this home in sewage. but in the confidence that held enough to go back to the foundation of the irish state, just as to the end of the 1st world war catholic dogma and hard line cafe thinking really were a massive pause of what it meant for them to regard themselves as an independent country becoming pregnant outside marriage in these times was regarded as
