if you're unfamiliar with the edc, we are the agency that assists in 95% plus in responding to lawsuits it is not true where it says in paragraph 12 that we are unable to meet the increased needs. we have met that need for the past 15 years. we will never turn away a tenant that is being evicted. we help everyone. the problem is with help everyone represent themselves. president carter is right. 90% go through their case without an attorney. 90% of landlords are represented by aggressive counsel. there is no question that the right to counsel does not exist for low-income people. there is no question that we need more representation for those tenants. there is no question it will result in fewer tenants becoming homeless as a result. however, this is where i depart slightly from the other supporters. we do not need more representation. we need 10 or 15 more attorneys doing tenant the fence now -- defense now. we need a serious commitment, not just a project or a program. a statement that this city is committed and we are bound by attorneys to defend the rights of citizens. and their hou
