levitt. to the extent that this problem is so serious and that there are statistics that workers in chinatown, one out of two workers in chinatown restaurants are not earning minimum wage or that day laborers, 15% of day laborers that were interviewed in a national study were not paid part of their wages within the previous two months. the amount of waste left in this country is a crisis level, and it is costing workers billions of dollars per year in wages that they can then put back into the economy by paying larger rents, etc., etc., and so we really believe that we must adequately fund them, that they are not yet found at the level they should be for such an important and crucial organization doing such magnificent work in our city and county, so any advocating for funding that you can help us with, we would greatly, greatly appreciate that. president o'brien: thank you. it is kind of confusing -- working very hard to preserve some of the positions. but the budget said that it could not b
