so, it would be helpful to know if hrc is going to -- are we going to add another fte to hrc in order to help facilitate this process? i don't want to just pass legislation to pass legislation. i want to pass legislation that actually works for the people that we're trying to make it work for. i think that i'm unclear as someone who is being asked to support this, i'm unclear as to how this is actually going to help with the situation. and i do appreciate supervisor kim's comments especially because, you know, it's definitely something we should be doing, we should be moving in this particular direction, but i also appreciate supervisor tang's comments in that -- in being responsible about how we implement this because we may not have to reinvent the wheel. and i just don't understand from my perspective, i'm not understanding how this is going to work and how it's going to work for making sure that we're holding those entities accountable for taxpayer dollars by making sure that they are providing equal pay to their employees, and how do we go after them if we don't understand what k

one that the hrc do is our corporate equality index that has changed the corporate america. we write on ceos in the country on their practices and companies really care about their score. >> do you know at the top of your head what the top three are? >> the top three what? >> temperatures that you rate? >> we have several companies. we have several companies that get a perfect score. >> rattle a couple of them off. everyone is curious what they are. >> let's see here, let me just look. we have corporations that are supportive of enda. some of the companies will surprise you. alcoa out of new york, which is not one of your--everybody thinks finance and tech companies, google, of course, is great. everybody thinks that finance and tech companies will do the best, and certainly they are, but some will surprise you, general mills in minnesota, the cereal company. >> someone told me that home depot is good. >> yes, i don't have their score in front of me, but they are good and they have the threatened boycott of their lgbt employees, and it clearly didn't work. >> here are some m

terry bean has take an voluntary leave of absence from the hrc board until his issue is resolved. back in 2008, he made this political appeal to hrc's membership. >> the election of joe biden and barack obama may turn out to be the most pivotal moment in our journey for equality. >> the coverage would be overwhelmingly negative and it would be a trial in the media, a opposed to a trial in a justice system, he would have been convicted just by the charges alone. >> the white house has not responded to our request for comment. >> ferguson, missouri braces for another night of protest as the president calls for calm again. we will talk about it and all the developments with the paneling when we come back. ever since darryl's wife started using gain flings, their laundry smells more amazing than ever.

and as well as the hrc, i do understand that they weighed in on this also in support of this legislation even though they did bring up some concerns. so, with that said, again, i just really want to see us work together to make this an even more impactful legislation to really look hard at some of the information that's already provided to us currently, and see how we cannot reinvent the wheel but just repurpose some of the information so it's not an incredible extra burden for many of our nonprofits or public -- public works contracts that do business with the city. so, with that said, i'd like to make a motion and see if we can refer this to committee with reference to the commission on status of women to dcyf and to hrc as well. thank you. >> okay. supervisor tang has made a motion that this be referred to committee with reference to those various commissions as seconded by supervisor breed. i was just told by our board clerk that the motion to refer to committee takes precedence over the motion to amend so we'll take it in that order. but why don't we continue discussion. supervisor
