mr. egan, who's here, can have the policy advantage of providing a tangible benefit to a few successful companies, reducing their incentive to leave san francisco, while leaving the majority of taxpayers and the city's payroll tax revenue unaffected. mr. egan has estimated that the effect on the city's general fund, with this limited stock option exclusion, would be minimal in annual tax revenue and that the loss would be more than recaptured by making sure that companies are retained and sustained in san francisco. so that we are then in the proactive business of making sure their companies are nurtured and that our employee base grows, and from that employee base, because we're not going after payroll tax and just stock option, that we be able to benefit from their contribution into the employment base increasing into either payroll tax or whatever the new business tax that would supplant that in the future. that is the legislation that is before you. it really focuses, as i said, on a discrete population, narrow. so we are able to gauge i am peer rickly what that impact -- empirically what that impact can mean. what a more larger, sweeping version of boss pre-public and post-public companies woul
