eraf and take that money back from it city.erefore, i drafted this measure so if the state ever eliminates eraf, the city other revenue like hotel tax, business tax and executive tax will continue to fund this program. the truth of the matter is, we have no idea if the state will ever eliminate excess eraf. the worse thing we can do is to start a program that transforms their school and then pull the rug out from underneath them exactly what was done to the students and faculty and educators at everett elementary. that's the worse thing we can do. they end up worse than when the program existed in the first place. that has happened in the past and made things worse. i hope the labor counsel change its mind and support the measure, i will never amend this legislation in such a way that all the programs it funds could disappear in a short time span or overnight. with that colleague, i want to thank a number of groups and individuals that have drafted this measure with me. many are here today or on their way and ready to campaign
