like supervisor breed, going to school at galileo and knowing how limited our fuel is at galileo, any open space for the students there would be appreciated. it even goes beyond that. i actually spent the summer in one of these summer jobs working for the department of works , i guess. and around the reservoir with the amount of weeds and bushes and everything else -- it's nicer now than when i was growing up when it was almost totally jungle there. my summer job was to clear the jungle and spent quite a few weeks doing that. and i always thought, wouldn't it be great if we had a park up here? and that was my thought at the time at 17 years old and here it is where supervisor farrell has sort of taken the lead on that. before i actually committed to it i looked at what he was talking about in terms of the finances and looked at the open space funding and to see -- to make sure this project, as valuable as it is, doesn't deplete completely the open space funding because like supervisor kim and like supervisor campos, when they mention equity is important to me growing up in china town

it's great to have another large new park for san francisco and it'll clearly serve galileo high school, as you mentioned, as well as other communities, but going forward i really hope that we, as a city, take a hard, strong look at making sure we're ensuring equity with the remaining funds. i hope that the next vote that i take will be for a high needs area, particularly of course in district 6 or 3 and of course, in the districts that are absorbing growth, which includes the southeast sector. i wanted to name some of the concerns i have on the future ongoing use of the funds, but i want to recognize the work that's gone into putting francisco reservoir into place today and appreciate there was a lot of negotiating with the puc to ensure the drawdown of the fund would happen over a course of time as we're depositing more open space reserves into the acquisition funds. one last thing, as land become more eks pensive here in san francisco and the parts that are developing, i want to make sure that our funds are enough to cover the cost of land acquisition to ensure that there is open spa

and jerome is not looking happy, because he picked one of the other names -- galileo.re will he finish? he'll finish in third place. he loses $3,601. and, katie, congratulations, young lady. you're the new "jeopardy!" champion wit$9,201. and we'll see you again tomorrow. and you, too, as well, we hope. so long. promotional consideration provided by... --captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com tt, im liner has killed 298 people, and that is a revised number but at this hour there has been in public announcement, how many, if any, americans were on board. thursday night, the big story on "action news" tonight is the almost unthinkable. a commercial jet liner was shut down today over eastern ukraine by a surface to air missle. the plane was on its way from amsterdam to -- kuala lumpur but it fell 33,000 feet in the village in the in middle of the war zone and currently held by rebels. backed by russian weapons they have been battling ukraine government forces. the working theory is this tonight a rebel aim a missle at what he thought was a ukraine military aircraft but it turn

i live downhill from the reservoir near galileo. i'm a retired schoolteacher. i have 10 grand children. so i think i know something about the parks and kids and the benefit this would have for all. the area is bounded by van ness. chinatown is one of the most densely populated areas in the country and it is as we've talked about, it's severely under parked. although technically the political district 2, the majority of residents would most likely use the park live in district 3. it's expected that the park would primarily serve seniors, schools and the east side of van ness. that's where the green open space opportunity is sparse and there isn't an unmet need for recreational opportunities for children. i hope that all of you support this project. it's been a wonderful project to work on. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good morning. my name is george. i live on chestnut street. i'm there is president of the russian hill improvement association. i'm speaking in support of this project. we who live up there see everyday hundreds of people coming from all

i saw don earlier, this childhood development center, the galileo high school which is just a few blocks away. we talked about some of the programming for some of their classes and what can be done at a vast park like this. the opportunities, the audubon society, the dwellers, the coalition for san francisco neighborhoods. ultimately over 42 organizations have been involved in this effort. to me it was so important if we are taking on a project of this magnitude that it would be a coalition of not only city organization groups but the citywide. i think we've been able to do that. i know stacy bradley who is here is going to be speaking about the project. thank you for all of your help along the way. we went with 900 pro zach who also recommended the project and i want to thank them and the district 2 representative who are supporters of this project. this is a long long time making and required a great amount of effort but i have never been part of a project that is more worthwhile with this one that is particularly with all the groups. you realize what you can do when you build coalitio

i'm a san francisco native and i recently went to visit a high school, galileo that i went to, a teacher extremely instrumental in my life [speaker not understood] and staying in school. i found out that she is probably in her last year because her housing -- she's being displaced. there is profit to be made. she live in the northern marina itch are modctionv hill area and she's being pushed out. it is deeply satening that obviously future generations aren't going to get the resource. i'm sure to tell you this is not the only case of this. this is happening all over san francisco by the masses. and that's why i'm here today because i'm worried that my supervisors, you wonderful people, are losing focus of your priorities. we are a city with one of the highest levels of income inequality, the least affordable housing market as well as the fastest growing gap between the rich and the poor. and we really do need to throw our support behind those who are most at risk. we need to throw our support behind the people who need affordable housing in san francisco and we need to make sure that aff

you know when galileo had his tiff with the church he got a lot of flak, too. >> go ahead, andrew. >>sues with all of this, obviously, because you don't believe in climate change, at all. you made a comment -- >> just a minute. just a minute. just a minute. i believe in climate change. shut up. >> sir, i'm open to all ideas. you made a comment back in 2009 comparing climate change to the holocaust. and my question is, are you suggesting, when you made that comment, that climatologists and climate scientists are the equivalent of hitler and nazis? i mean that's what seems like you were trying to say. >> you know, you know, i get called a denier, and anyone who objects to all of the hype gets called a denier. that's supposed to make me a holocaust denier. you know, i'm getting tired of that. and the comment i made was the demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor jews under hitler. carbon dioxide is actually a benefit to the world, and so were the jews. >> how much money did you take from exxon over the years in the offs -- >> i haven't taken a dime from e
