i am a resident and owner of coral st.. i am here to support the recycling center proposal to rescind the executive order. i call the san francisco chronicle the san francisco comical because of the reporting it has been doing. i wanted to empathize with -- empathize with the gentleman who was looking for a metaphor earlier. there is something rotten in the recreation and parks department. [applause] by reasons for keeping the recycling center opened, i will not repeat myself. but it is part of the fabric of the neighborhood for almost 40 years. and my children have gone their to do community work. beginning in world revolution. i was in germany for years ago. they have recycling centers there that are very comprehensive. it is the forward way to go all of the other reasons why, between given by recycling, i would choose to give it to the recycling center every time. the last thing that i would like to say, to close recycling centers are physically and morally wrong. please support this resolution. that is all i have to say
