thank you supervisor mandelman for bringing this forward today. i think sometimes when we create policy we end up ultimately conflating a number of different member issues. i think the intent of this legislation was started out i believe supervisor wiener at the time the intent was really to send a message on policy and hope that states that had these abortient policies would begin to rethink them if they wanted to do business with the city and county of san francisco and as supervisor mandelman said that has not happened and what in fact what happened is the cost to the taxpayers of san francisco over and over again has gone up. i just want to reiterate some of the things that i said when we took on one piece of this and supervisor mandelman said the same thing. 12x was never intended to stop competition or intended to look at some of the different groups in our city that are under represented and say we're going to do everything we can to enhance and create an environment that will enable you to get more business. that wasn't what 12x was intend
