eric brooks. i deeply apologize for being a serial public comment, but this issue is due to the heart of me, as a green and a lover of good democracy. i would wholeheartedly support the direction you are going. i would also add we should study other countries like australia. they have had rank choice. canada has had a little bit of it in british columbia. it is not limited to the united states. just to bring this down to why this is so important to lafco, we are in a situation where we may be at some point in the future appointee a municipal -- setting up a municipal utility district that has an elected board. it is conceivable that our cca will form relationships with other cities -- san bruno, east bay, even marin county in the future -- and we would need a joint powers board that, hopefully, would be elected. things like that and the broadband issue that i raised -- we could end up setting up a democratically elected communication's board. this really is a big deal for lafco, especially to the

. >> eric brooks again. this is the opportunity i will take to talk about what i mentioned before, and that is public broadband. i am sure that some or all of you followed what happened recently in washington, d.c., are around the "online privacy act" which would have sent to the internet -- censored the internet. it looks like thankfully, that has been beaten back. if you look over the course of the last decade especially and even since 1996, we can see that corporations are making more of an effort every year, and no matter whether there is a democrat or republican in office, to get more and more exclusive control of the internet and keeping the public walled off so that it can charge high fees and decide what content we see on the internet. a few years ago, myself and some other organizers with a coalition called public net, one of whom is bruce wolfe, who i recently spoke to around this, got through to lafco, made sure that hearings happened to stop what was going to be a monopolization of our local wire

. >> once again, eric brooks, san francisco green party and our city. just to quickly touch on the things you have touched on -- one, in reverse order, i think we do need a joint meeting in early spring, actually, because some action will come to the puc in spring. i would totally agree that we need to support the five-year concept on the revolving door issue.

eric brooks, representing the san francisco great party and the local grassroots organization of our city. how many development deals have we seen where this happens? we get to the end process, we are at the 0 hour on a huge to the bad deal, and at the very last minute, repeatedly during the same day, we're seeing amendments to the agreement. i would just suck at what many of you have already said that as supervisor. i would just second what many of you have already said as supervisors, we need to see what is written on paper and make sure that the parties have signed on the dotted line. the environmental community has already been asked to accept a lot of impacts that it does not agree with. the people of the city of san francisco are being asked to accept billionaire developer is controlling large swaths of their waterfront for the rest of the century, essentially. the budget analyst is being asked not to have all of its amendments approved. you are being asked to go with a whole new deal that came up after the one that you voted on in 2010. and you can tell from the response is th
