conny ford. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is conny ford. i'm vice president of the san francisco labor council and happy to be here. i've been waiting for this commission for several years now to be in this status. just a little bit about me. i am not native to san francisco, but i raised my children here, who both went to public school. my son ended up graduating from city college. my daughter took some of her first nursing vocational classes at city college and that was a nurse practitioner for planned parenthood. i'm a strong advocate of city college and have always talked about, we have k through 12 as a free public education system, and i was always looking forward the day we can extend that for two more years. that came about three or four years ago as you probably remember. city college was in crisis back then, but we worked hard to get it reestablished and then i was a part of a great, great, great team, committed to making it and extending it to free for all san franciscans. took four years to do that, but we passed the legislation

here hard conny was the head of the ministry of honshu and religious affairs in the province the so-called islamic state has claimed responsibility the news agency but it has not offered any evidence in. these region of condy have defied the state of emergency and launched new attacks on muslim targets hundreds of police have been deployed to stem the violence and authorities have blocked social media in some areas officials say at least one hundred fifty homes shops and visuals have been set on fire. this winter has been the arctic sea warmest ever with sea ice levels at a record low scientists say the unusually warm temperatures there are part of a global warming driven sidewall that has likely played a role in the icy winter storms that have recently hit europe and the united states . for the high court in the eastern german state of saxony has handed down terrorism convictions to eight far right extremists the so-called fry toa group which is named after the small town in saxony where the operated carried out arson attacks against refugee shelters and political opponents the hefty jail

some of them are behind me like lisa messer behind me and connie ford from the labor council. they know how to coordinate, connect the dots, build coalitions of strong allies in community and labor and even here at city hall that made city college free again, which has been one of my dreams for the kids -- kids. young people. everybody is kids now. you've really shown that compassion really belongs in public policy and it deeply affects individual lives. i can't tell you how happy that makes me. in d-1, we're seeing how we want to see compassion and inclusivity manifested. it makes me really happy. it's down right inspiring. we're ready to do outrageous things like knocking on doors, phone banking, gathering signatures, rallying, marching, even singing and dancing for things that have heart and meaning. thanks for recognizing our passion for a world with more compassion. because it makes me nervous when everybody sits still, because i'm a dance teacher, i want to invite everyone, including the gentlemen, to be honorary members of the loud lady's foot patrol for the next 30 sec

he has surpassed connie back. >> he is the equipment manager, we visited with him earlier.today is kendall graveman, he has never been the ace before so he will come out and they will need him. they need pitching. they will be solid in the positions but the pitching was iffy going into spring training with cotton undergoing surgery so they need kendall graveman to be an ace. >> it would be great to get out to a good start. the al west is a very tough division. >> for those of you interested in the angels don't forget their two-way player made the roster and he will be, the angels have talked about a six man rotation for him. this will be the first look at him in a major-league uniform during the regular season. that is something else to watch today. >> how much does the outcome matter today? other than spirits? >> it is one out of 162 and baseball history is full of world series winners who lost their first game of the season, but there is something symbolic about it. it kind of signifies the beginning of the year and the good weather and springtime and it is a feel-good th

>> what i don't like about it, is it echoes a point that connie schultz who senator mayor brown saidand they both come from working class origins and connie's point is why should trump necessarily represent all of working class americans. there were millions of working class americans who can't stand donald trump, didn't vote for him the last time. and if this cements the idea, that if you're like the connor family, you must be for donald trump, that will be awful misleading because a lot of them weren't. >> stereotypes can sometimes be a little bit problematic. >> we will see what happens next week, jonathan, kaitlin, lonnie, guys, thank you very much. >>> ahead, president trump and the mustache that makes him bristle. i have type 2 diabetes. i'm trying to manage my a1c, and then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. he told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating t

my name is connie ford. i'm representing jobs with justice today. jobs with justice is a coalition of about ten to twelve unions and about 20 community organizations working all over the city but many are housed or live or work in soma. you can see by reading the comments today, that one of the big things that is missing out of this plan is about the good quality, the quality of jobs. you talk about jobs, jobs, jobs, everybody talks about jobs. but what are these jobs? are they going to be good jobs? are they going to increase the economic disparity that we all live in today? the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? we in jobs for justice support our members of the we are soma. we support the demands. my granddaughter is seven, and she lives in soma with her parents, and she walks four blocks every day to her school, which is bessie carmichael. in that school, at that walk, forward and back, if you haven't taken the walk down fulsome, you should see. these services that are being asked to be paid for by the community here is desperate and needs.

there were enormous cuts that were unfortunate, that worker connie and in nature. we are trying to make the right investments for public schools. and we get to the level we are at before the recession -- with regards to the collective bargaining unit agreements, whether they are health benefits, pensions, salaries -- these are negotiated at the local level. whether it is the city of santa barbara, the city of santa barbara, santa barbara school district, los angeles -- this is a collective process done democratically. there are local officials through the state of california. i would never take away the opportunity they have to bargain collectively. i do believe everyone should have a right to access quality health care. i don't believe that your financial income levels should dictate if you have access, again, to medicare, medical care. these are tough choices that we again, make, what, california, by all objective measures, is really humming right now. we still have work to do. no doubt about it. we have air quality issues. we have issues to deal with education a

president, my wife and i, connie and i live in zip code 44105, cleveland, ohio, south of slavik village in this great city of cleveland. 44105, 11 years ago, in the first half of 2007 had more foreclosures than any zip code in the united states of america. i still see the blight brought on by those foreclosures, what it did to individual families, what it did to the neighborhood, what it did to the city of cleveland. think about, we don't do that very much here, mr. president. we don't really think all that much when we talk about things like this. we look at numbers, we look at statistics. we read analyses and data. we don't really think about individual families. think what happens when somebody is foreclosed on. first of all, these families understand that things are getting tighter. it's harder and harder to pay their mortgage. their spouse may have been scaled back to half time, whatever the economic circumstances. the first thing they often do is get rid of the family pet. it costs too much to take the dog to the vet. the second thing they do is cut back on everything. they start
