next item in this report refers to the amendments to the whistle blower protection ordinance that mr. ford mentioned during his report and that mr. bush remarked upon in public comment a minute ago. i have provided a summary of what those changes include. i will not repeat them here because you yourselves passed that ordinance, so you'll have some recollection of what they are. but i will note from page three that if -- a couple of those amendments in particular we anticipate may affect the workload of the enforcement division. one, as you know, is that the amendments expand the protections of the ordinance to city contractors and employees of city contractors, so effectively that expands the class of those who might complain to the ethics commission, and assuming that city contractors or city employees believe that they face retaliation, we can anticipate possibly receiving morcomplaints than we have previously. the other is that the amendments to the whistle blower protection ordinance expands the scope of what qualifies as protected activity. so staff, in reviewing complaints alleging r

and more in my experience, and i met with the executive director and mr. ford, i run these campaigns. i've been in the room day one when campaigns are shaping how they're going to spend that money, and knowing those limits are in effect, not window dressing, that's almost going to disappear, has a huge effect on who we talk to, on how we raise money, rather than simply raises as much from as many big donors as possible. the current system encourages candidates to raise smaller amounts. it's in my letter. i do want to encourage -- >> vice chair kopp: move an additional minute. >> thank you, commissioner kopp. rather than simply do away with spending limits, this would also dramatically stream line the program for staff and candidates. as my letter states, a change, two things, about -- within the current system about the lifting of the limits. number one, change the increment. right now, in a much bigger race, i would pick 50,000. that would limit the number of times the i.c. would be raised. and second and in tandem, rather than have -- require that entire amou

"it is customary and has been for many years for people accepting positions in government to divest themselves of holdings in any enterprise that does business with the government. it is not a question of distrust. it is a question of influence. it stems from the fact that they have such holdings. therefore, it is probably a wise decision but no one working in the government should have a considerable interest in any company transacting business with the government." one final question about women in politics. this comes from march of 1962, shortly before she died.
