my name is corine woods. and i am a water front rat. i follow port development and other projects for many, many years. by now, you have either seen the letter that the state lands commission wrote to the city attorney, or you have probably at least seen the chronicle article about that letter. i think what upset me most about this very simplistic water front initiative is that it basically trivializes though sapeds of hours of community involvement, in planning. and not to mention the thousands of hours of staff and commission time in long range planning. it ignores the very difficult balance between the public trust, obligations that the port has, and the economic viability of trying to fill a two billion dollar capitol gap. even worse is the fact that what these 15 seconds sound bites, of a political campaign the people most directly affected, the port, are not allowed to respond to correct the errors, to say what is really important. and i really hope that this does not go through. sea wall lot, 337, pier 70, we worked for years to

you have been dealing with these laws and raising the question and people are now advocating like corine brown. i spoke last night with the father of trayvon martin. he spoke about an epidemic of injustice. >> it is an epidemic. it seems like an epidemic where the value of african-american kids' lives really don't mean anything. we got to stand up as fathers. we got to stand up as leaders and let this country know it is not okay to kill our kids. i feel as though this country values kids more than our children's lives. >> he feels the country values guns more than our children's lives, congress woman. >> i think the law invokes people to be aggressive and once aggressive you say you feel threatened. you think about ms. alexander a warning shot and got 20 years yet you kill a young african-american and you just walk and you are the victim. it is too much disparity, the law is sloppy and needs to be cleaned up. it started with a doctrine meaning if you break into my home. now it spreading to the theater and streets. it is something wrong with the law. and it sends the wrong message to the
