mr. ginsberg, given that there was a demonstration against mr. ginsberg on west portal last sunday. somehow the mayor did not show up in time to see it. anyway, in regards to the hiring practices, i am still wondering, what ever happened to the public demonstrations that happened at the department of public works on army street where there were many minority workers who claimed that they were mistreated and were not given the proper hiring practices? also, i would like to know what ever happened to the x-ray tax which was involved in a so- called wildcat strike, which resulted in a secret meeting upstairs at general hospital and later that night the suspicious death of a union leader? i am kind of wondering if the hiring practices were ever fixed at san francisco general in regards to the x-ray tax, and were the complaints of the workers at the department of public works on army street were ever resolved? thank you. supervisor campos: thank you very much. any other member of the public that would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. with respect to item two, colleag

mr. phil ginsberg? no answer. to this day i still do not have a written answer whether they even talked to the witnesses. obviously if they are not want to tell me they even talk to the witnesses, i can see why the case is still unresolved. you were telling me the city has the money to support an agency like this? -- you are telling me the city has no money to support an agency like this? it the ethics that fell want to do the job, they are free to go do another job. i hear they're hiring in china, so maybe they can go there, and i am sure they can lose -- learn chinese. back to the ethics commission -- it is not a sleeping watchdog, it is not a watchdog at all. it is basically a lap dog, just like are referred to the local press. that is why there is very little criticism of what goes on in the city and county of san francisco. if you have a lap dog press and laptop ethics commission, obviously the citizens throw up their hands and pray we could vote for new president. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you. any
