, given the transfer of the contract monitoring function from hrc to the new contract monitoring division under the city administrator. on item g and actually -- let me go at it one at a time. item g, i would hope there would be a report back on what is found with the additional testing in san bruno and how that relates to the groundwater storage project on the west side. >> a point, mr. richy, is that the usually course of business? >> [inaudible]. >> okay. >> thank you. and on item j, the extension of the joint powers agreement with bayshore, i understand the need for that because it appears that negotiations are ongoing. it would have been better, in my opinion, had that come before the commission before the expiration of the agreement at the end of september. so, if that were possible in the future, i just would prefer not to see retroactive actions like that. and finally, on item k, on the appointment to the sjta, which i did not even know existed, for bodies like that and other bodies on which members of staff or the commission served, it would be nice to get some periodic report as

with that the hrc is proud of the community collaboratives we have already established to date to continue our efforts on implementing the findings and recommendations of the various diversity reports. we have with us today salina from the santa and juvenile criminal justice who will briefly comment on the school to prison pipeline, particularly the high criminalization of african-american girls in san francisco. i give you ms. salina tiji. >> hi, thank you very much for having me. as i was introduced, i worked for the center on juvenile and criminal justice. it is a nonprofit base in san francisco, we provide services, technical assistance and [speaker not understood] analysis. i know a there are a lot of people who can really speak to the educational gap a lot better than i can so i'm going to limit my comments to justice involved youth and really make the connection because it is important to think about this issue not in a vacuum, recognizing that a lot of youth who have educational barriers also have mental health issues, public health issues, child welfare, there is a lot of cross ov

now, what we have here is we have the hrc abruptly transferring compliance officers who deal with lb situations and other compliance officers to the city administrator's office. then you have you guys in the middle of the situation changing the rules without really getting the input from the lbes. nobody who is not a san franciscan should come here and say, i spoke to some lbes in san francisco and they kind of agree to go with the flow. that doesn't work. we don't want to badger sfpuc. but the fact is we lost on the waste system improvement project, and we were not, i repeat, not lose on the sewer system improvement project. because i have over 500 young men, i brought some of them here. i don't want to fill this chamber with some strong men. i don't want to go there, but we will not lose unless we have meaningful discussion with the union involved. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. yes, sir. >>> thank you, commissioners, art jensen with bosca. i think this is a great thing the commission did when they extend it had to a regional program to include workers outside san fra

we used to work together when he was with the hrc. and if you ask ed lee, he would say ace is working on a conspiracy. one thing for sure, ladies and gentlemen, without a doubt, i think god is coming to help our people at the very end [speaker not understood]. >> thank you. >>> i'm sarah short and here's my report. [laughter] >>> i had to think really hard about that one. this is the second time i went after ace, hard act to follow. so, i'm the director of the housing rights committee of san francisco, and we work with public housing residents. and unfortunately we've seen the fallout of the hope 6 redevelopment projects. we've had tenants come into our offices who weren't able to get back into their units for a variety of reasons. some sort of fell through the crackses because the process was so complicate and had lengthy. some were screened out in that they didn't meet the eligibility guidelines when the new buildings were renovated and, you know, or had bad credit records,ings? things like that. and some simply lost out because we

just think there are all these factors that need to be explored more and i really do hope between the hrc and this committee we can begin to do more work to partner with the folks in the neighborhood who are most impacted. (applause) >> i'll just say some really, really quick comments because i know there is another item after this that's pretty significant. but i want to thank everyone for coming out. and i do agree with the what pastor harris said. it has to come from the bottom up. there has to be some will that come directly from the community. ultimately i think that in our school system, i think systemically there is still a lot of prejudice. i really believe there is still a lot of racism. i'm not calling anyone a racist. that's not what i'm implying. but i think sometimes there are lesser expectations of students of color and that then, especially when i'm listening to the statement that was read from coleman advocates, or that one student really feels that, you know, when a teacher tells you, well, you have to go to city college because i just don't think you have the whatever to

hrc medical centers is based in tennessee but has a location in glen burnie. a national court has issued a temporary restraining order citing a lawsuit for unsubstantiated health claims and failing to advertise or advise of potential side effects. in one case, her voice deepened and she grew facial hair after receiving the treatment. she says that there be stopped working. >> some of the things my body had gone through came back. they are still back. >> the bio identical hormone replacement therapy was it a cocktail many times higher than levels normally found in the body. warning anyone who receive the treatment at a location to talk to their doctor as soon as possible. another maryland resident has contracted the fumble meningitis. health officials say it all began was steroid shots for back pain made by a special compound in pharmacy in massachusetts. they have confirmed 14 cases and one death in maryland with 12 states impacted nationwide. >> a 90-year-old man naked and beaten all caught on surveillance that happened five years ago. ahead, why the woman co

>> hrc has endorsed president obama.ed, which caused some questions at the time. >> bill: yeah. but it looks like they -- on the issues, just dealing with the issues that they made the right choice -- >> log cabin hasn't endorsed but go proud who is the sort of more right-wing of the two gay organizations did endorse mitt romney, and they held an event last night, with bay buchanan. i'll let you just sit with that one. >> bill: i'm speechless that she is the one that they would choose to speak out for mitt romney on to the lgbt community? >> i'm not sure if she is the liaison -- go proud has a proud history of finding the name that -- they are the group that had ann coulter speak to them. they are nothing, if not headline grabbing. [ laughter ] >> bill: chris good to see you my friend. you can follow chris at buzzfeed, buzzfeed.com or follow him on twitter. @chris geithner. thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> bill: and we'll talk to kristen cinema coming up next. >> announcer: this is the "bill press show."

my friends, hrc chooses to be bold. we choose to fight. if you are here tonight, i know you agree. [applause] you know -- you know we have to start right now. after all, this election is our next best chance to make historic progress. it can be a real turning point, but it could go either way. either mitt romney will have a national platform to defend the discriminatory defense of marriage act, or we will send president barack obama back to the white house with our real equality mandate. [applause] either the united states senate can ignore the voices calling for equality beyond those marble walls of that capital, or we will send tammy baldwin to stand in that chamber as a living reminder of our families, our lives, and our human dignity. [applause] either our adversaries at the ridiculously named national organization for marriage will strip away equal rights at the ballot box, or voters will stand up for marriage a quality in maryland, minnesota, maine, and washington. this is our moment. [applause] we are here in this room tonight because we are determined to lay claim to the gr
