due to the absence of larry bush, quentin kopp and peter king and it's necessary for me to come back to city hall. certain things need to be put on the record so later on there will be no reason why nobody knew what was going on to happen. that's the reason it's on the record. let's be honest. certain factions allow the local people to try to do what they wish. obviously, when the locals can't get the job done and literally throw in the towel, then others have to step in. people like me have other duties mainly outside the united states but unfortunately, we have to help our hometown when necessary. the same example is it took a long time but eventually, al capone found his rightful home. if you can't get him in the front door, we will come through the backdoor and it looks like san francisco has to be treated like other cities like new york, chicago, new orleans. it may seem to local press that the government is untouchable? unfortunately, in history, there used to be the untouchable. let's put it this way. when the locals can't get the job done, then people will step in, people wil

there has been amount of conversation in judge kopp's resignation, those were conversations that we were already having. one reason is intrinsic. these cases can be complex both factually and legally. if the commission wants to approach them with a thorough, fair and accurate effort, frankly that takes lot of time. another reason you suggested chair chiu has to do the impact of elections on the size of the workload that the division faces. you highlighted the size of the division staff. there maybe procedural reasons why tha it takes us a long time. our division as control over the amount of time it take us to work on these things. we will be putting forth effort in evaluating what those processes look like. we have had some conversation between us and commissioners there whether the commissioners might like to adopt a set of priorities by which you as commissioners would direct the enforcement division to emphasize certain kinds of complaints. another example, if the division were to exercise more prosecutorial discretion, matters may diminish. the approach of the division is to take co
