thank you, donna. the city and county of san francisco have lost a great servant, and the interim community and other communities feel that they have lost a great advocate. so i would respectfully ask that we adjourn the meeting today, and i have asked the clerk to send a letter on behalf of the board to joanie's partner in new york and to the two little girls. i have another item, but i do not know if my other colleagues want to add anything to what has been said. supervisor mar? supervisor mar: thank you, supervisor campos and chiu. i met joanie when she was a fairly new lawyer, and she had finished nyu a few years earlier, but i think she really understood how community organizing plays a role. community activists can really do not all. this is connected with the activist lawyers, and i always appreciated that about her. what she has worked on and helped to lead, workers, immigrants, and for health care just as, as well, but i think one of the points that supervisor campos made is that her babies ne

all that judson, donna, and even 3-year-old nadia have to give. donna never forgot the little girl with cerebral palsy she met working for the head start program, even after haley moved away. >> she was just full of love. full of laughter. >> can i have a kiss? >> reporter: even when there were to reasons to laugh. cerebral palsy was one of the many challenges life dealt haley cane. an unsettled family situation meant that few relatives could provide the care she needed for long. so at age 21, haley was placed in a nursing home. a mental disability might have qualified haley for a more suitable group home. instead the high school graduate found herself with an elderly roommate and seemingly no way out. >> what was it like? >> depressing. depressing, you know. you're the only 21-year-old. and having -- you know, the residents like you. >> reporter: there she might have stayed until a story in the local paper caught judson's eye. he said, do you know who this is? i said, that's haley bug. i said, where is she? he said, this is going to break your he

donna, what do you think about what happened and what i've just said? well, i think what glenn beck has tapped into is a reservoir of fear and anxiety right now across the country. because most americans just don't know. they don't have a firm grip on the future. they know that things are out of control. there's chaos in washington, d.c., and yet glenn beck has been able to become their prophet. their prophet not of hope but perhaps he's been the person who has spoken to see things return to a bygone past that may never come to fruition again. >> and the election results this week, the primary results, i mean, what did that say? again sort of anti-incumbency? >> take alaska where senator murkowski lost. that seat had been held by her or her father who appointed her to it for 30 years. now, this is exactly what sense the country is rebelling against and i think the real message of alaska that ought to alarm a lot of people, i think the polling models this year are all wrong. she was genuinely surprised. her polls showed her winning if not overwhelmingly,

donna? >> thank you, supervisors, for allowing me to say few words about joanie chang. along with the rest of the city family, we are devastated. she worked for the city for about three years, and she was very much single-handedly responsible for the enforcement of the employer spending requirements of the health-care security organs. when she applied for the job here, we knew that she was a renowned and accomplish civil rights attorney. i was so thrilled that she would consider coming to work in the public sector. i do not think she realized she was coming to an office where she would be doing the job of at least four people and would be challenging. she handled the job with such grace, and she was so super capable, and this is a complex law. it was controversial. but it had a potential to have a huge impact for an insured worker in san francisco, 82,000 at the time of san franciscans who were uninsured, a majority of whom had jobs. she on her

donna, let me begin with you. as david pointed out while these races are going on in colorado especially the president's in texas, the gubernatorial candidate in texas does not appear with the president on the tarmac. is he becoming toxic in these democratic races? >> well, george, all politics is local. we've heard that before. look, the president is gravy, what you need in every campaign is a lot of potatoes and these candidates have gone out there trying to pull together their constituents, their base, and they're trying to rally their voters and know the president can provide the gravy, the sauce but they really need to go out there and prove to voters that they're in touch with their values. that they are running to represent them in washington. or, you know, in the case these gubernatorial races, see, i don't think they are running from the president. they're actually trying to prove to voters they're independent from anyone from washington, d.c. >> no running from the president, mary? >> well, as much as do

so cary and the scenic designic, donna eastman, as well as the lighting designer jim ingles developed this idea of a turn table which would turn and allow the audience to see primary locations but see beyond that through the set secondary and tertiary types of scenes as opposed to being very boxy. so in the writing of the piece, all of this is taken into consideration while it was being developed, how we were going to stage it. over that period of 3 1/2 to 4 years, the piece got tighter, stronger, we worked with a variety of actors that came and went which in this particular case was very important because the material deals with people from a lot of different backgrounds and my own background is japanese american, there are two cake ters who are japanese american, three, rather, but there are african american characters, there's a russian jew by way of yokohama and i don't necessarily have those backgrounds. so in the workshop process, what it allows me to do to work with actors, particularly some of the african american characters, i can work with them to make sure the characters i
