please don't allow tazers right now in this critical moment, and especially under this federal administration. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good night. any name is gomez santiago, and i'm also on the board of the harvey milk club. i would have been here earlier, should the building that was a public space not have been locked down according to what i was told by the sheriff. luckily, an employee of the building was able to let me in so i can come and represent our club tonight. what i see outside is an overwhelming opposition to tazers. i'm originally from chicago, although i spent half my life here in the bay area and in san francisco. what i can say is as someone who is part of the queer and trans community, that the fear of interaction with police is heightened when the arms that they carry are not the words to pacify rather the words to instill fear. by merely staring someone down, but merely not understanding language, culture, mental health conditions, it just heightens this opportunity for misunderstanding and for nerves to then preside over interactions that should be dee

so the administration seems to hint that some funding would go to rural areas and for the great bulk of other areas, there would be federal and local dollars. but there has been an agreement for my entire lifetime, republican and democratic administrations alike, that they should be federal grants that fund the entire network. and i am certainly happy to work with rural areas. they feed right into the urban area i represent, to insure they are treated fairly. when one part of the system is not treated fairly, we all have to jump in. i cannot support an infrastructure bill, of course, that is biased against urban areas, and i suspect there would be a huge number of members with me on that. i doubt that such a bill could gather a majority from either party. so as an example of what a region looks like, i represent the district of columbia, which is of course, a densely populated city in a densely populated region where you see all kinds of construction trades, building more offices, apartments, condos, amenities. and in collaboration with the rest of the region. maryland suburbs, virginia suburbs, the federal government pro
