eric brooks, san francisco green party. as drafted, it is not acceptable for many reasons that some of you stated. local hiring is nowhere near enough. all that stuff is really crucial. i want to make sure that no one in this room, who has been in this room talking about this issue anywhere in the spectrum is talking about hiring fewer trade workers to build your beds. were not talking about that. we're talking about deciding where to build and how to build to best empower the entire city of san francisco, not just one part of the. which i live a block away from. i would love to see my neighborhood revitalize on van ness, but not at the expense of the neighborhood around st. luke's. seaboots needs to be kept at its current level, are made even larger. -- or maybe even larger. we just got beat by a percentage point, by huge amounts of money from a large corporation. cpmc is a large corporation. if you look at the analysis of what is happening in wisconsin, the unions were not tight enough together to win that campaign. we al

eric brooks representing the san francisco green party. just to pick up where the last speaker left off, this rink chosank choice voting measure, speaking in strong opposition. boaters are already hard-pressed enough to get the work done in gooand go out and spent another campaign. this is needed to protect social services and social justice and environmental justice. it is crucial for us to be able to vote for people. it was crucial for me in the first time to actually be able to bring people i care about in an election. that was incredibly manpower and as a voter. the green party was not able to just indoors the green, but indoor supervisor kim and debra walker. that was profoundly important to the election. most importantly, this is important to democrats. i do not know how many of you get link tv. you probably saw dennis to spinackustinich speaking recent. he has decided to not run again in washington. and i think that is because of where the democratic party is headed. he is not empowered. the party is drifting power and farther away.
