my name is martha hawthorne. i was a nurse for 30 years with department of public health and i'm not one of the 56,000 city workers and retirees who depends on you, board of supervisors, who protect us. i've been to a number of the board meetings recently and i'm very disturbed by the behavior of wendy paskin-jordan. i would urge you to reject her appointment. she has missed many key meetings. she missed the meeting on fossil fuel divest m. she's never answered adequately the member's questions about hedge funds. we have to believe she's in favor of that. i have think we deserve better than went diz paskin-jordan. wendy paskin-jordan. i have think there is someone better that can fill our position. please, board of supervisors, if you're not ready to reject her reappointment, i think there's plenty of reasons to do it right now, however, if you're not ready, at least vote in favor of the motion for a special meeting. she should be here. she should not be missing an action once again. thank you. >> good afternoon
