supervisor kim and supervisor kim. there's a rule if you want to show your support, just raise your hand supervisor kim. >> thank you president breed i shared a a budget committee last week but prior to being on the board of supervisors i spent actually 8 years working in the nonprofit sector and several of us on this board did and i still remember when the board would allocate cost of doing business increases and seeing that slight increase in my salary each year i started at 26 thousand $26,000 and then i saw my wage increase five $5,000 over 6 years and i have seen my salary go up 3 times that amount on the board of supervisors so i think it's important that we recognize and value the work of our nonprofit workers that often perform some of our most important and critical life saving work here in the city whether it's in-housing or healthcare or so many other sectors and this small increase would take us to the same level that city government employees have seen their increase gone up as well and on top of that and

supervisor kim supervisor kim and as many of the community based organizations and workers and leaders of the nonprofit sector rallied over the past year i'm calling them nonprofit justice they have come to the board numerous times and this board in august passed a resolution prioritizing approval of this supplemental appropriation. now this supplemental is cosponsors by supervisor campos supervisor avalos supervisor kim supervisor kim and myself and it was contingent on revenue and saves above the projected estimates of the fiscal year 2013 and 14. the city's comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year 2013 showed a year end general fund surplus of 21.6 $21.6 million that came from unanticipated year end revenue and i think that many of the community based organizations that have been coming to the board the nonprofit workers and leaders of community based groups have emphasized they are a critical part of the statement part of the safety net and the nonprofit sector i believe and with neighborhood stability and efforts to really assist the nonprofit sector, they are an

supervisor kim. >> i've known i'm for a number of years. someone from the academy of science as so many of us do but also as a great person in the community. when he approached me, i think, a month ago letting me know he was being nominated in my position, i remember telling him i wasn't sure if i would do that to one of my friends. but he really did pass with flying colors and i have one of our board members at the clean f o s program. he really did respond to some difficult programs. i did let him know as a friend, i still couldn't support him until i saw him go through the committee first. i also know he personally understands the difficulties that many of our residents have for their utilities. that's something he will be particularly sensitive to and so i think it's important to have someone with that experience on this commission. he's someone that definitely has a can do attitude. before all of this, i was really impressed to hear about some of his work in chicago responding to an increased number of residents without homes in his ne

kim lied to fbi agents."but since petraeus also lied to the fbi, lowell concludes -- "lower-level employees like mr. kim are prosecuted under the espionage act because they are easy targets and lack the resources and political connections to fight back. high level officials (such as general petraeus) leak classified information to forward their own agendas (or to impress their mistresses) with virtual impunity." the lenient treatment of petraeus falls in line with similar responses to leaks from other administration insiders. cia director leon panetta helped provide secret information to the filmmakers of "zero dark thirty," the hollywood film about the raid that killed osama bin laden, but never faced punishment. and just last week, it emerged that a long-running investigation of a former top-ranking pentagon general for leaking the information that publicly exposed a u.s. cyberwarfare operation against iran has stalled. according to "the washington post," general james cartwright had authorization to speak
