mr. mayor, colleagues, a number of incidents of violence. we want to see in his budget that there are added resources; they for instance have not received funding, many of these transgender women who are the victims of these crimes, hate crimes, have not seen funding from the commission on the status of women. we are having conversations - have had conversations with director morassi (sounds like)- so that when we think about women would also think about transgender women in the process was in the clear message that we are not going to tolerate violence against any group of individuals. (applause) i also want to talk a little bit about our monolingual speaking communities. we have a large segment of the population that speaks primarily spanish, primarily chinese, and we want to make sure that their needs are addressed, and that they are taking care of and whatever services are provided are provided in the culturally competent way and i know that is a priority for you. the last thing that i woul

mr. mayor? mr. mayor? i'm saying maybe it might be a good idea for you to -- mr. yor, are you smoking right now? >> no! >> jimmy: all right, well, there you go. that is toronto mayor rob ford. or a reasonable facsimile. i don't know. he seems fine to me. >> from east carter high school in grayson, kentucky, were not allowed to attend their graduation ceremony. they released 10,000 crickets in the halls of their school. is there a secret cricket aisle at costco i don't worry about? it took a week to get the crickets out of the school. that's good. these people are job creators. they shouldn't be banned from graduation. they should be in congress. there's another kid who probably won't attending graduation. a 19-year-old student in lawrenceville was failing english and he didn't want to tell his parents about it, so he faked his own kidnapping. he bought a cell phone and texted his parents and said i've been abducted. it sounds like a terrible li liamnliamn liam nieson movie. he camped out for a week then came home when it rained. i guess he failed his fake your own

so mr. mayor, we look forward to the discussion. i want to thank all of my constituents from district 9, from portola, from mission, myrtle heights, this is a process. your input will be heard. thank you very much. now it is my honor to give the microphone to my friend for more than 20 years, my colleague from law school, supervisor scott wiener. >> supervisor wiener: thank you supervisor campos, mr. mayor. supervisor farrell welcome to our neck of the woods. as david mentioned, i am scott wiener, i represent district 8, and i have the honor for the third year that i have been on the budget committee. i am always weekly appreciative of that assignment because as supervisor campos mentioned the budget is at the heart of what we do with the city and the board of supervisors and it really does represent our values and our priorities as a city. we have some real challenges; our budget picture is better than it was a few years ago. what that means is that so many of those years that we were cutting in different areas we are now figuring

so, mr. mayor, in many neighborhoods across the city our sidewalks don't have the capacity to ensure safe and comfortable pedestrian flow which squeezes the pedestrians onto the street when there is a crowd on the sidewalk. while infrastructure improvement while widening our sidewalks can alleviate pedestrian congestion and these resources are limited. a less expensive solution is to improve placement of street furniture such as surface mounted utility boxes, news racks, advertising kiosks and public toiments -- toilets and other fixtures on the sidewalk individually can impede pedestrian flow and restrict visibility of pedestrians at corners, with so many pieces of sidewalk furniture competing for scares sidewalk furniture placement what can we do to create safe and comfortable sidewalks along the street and how will you ensure that we increase safety and hazardous visibility situations and how do you plan to relive this strategy and in miles of pedestrian up grades. >> thank you for that question

mr. mayor, yet seen a number of statistics, supervisors you have seen them, department heads, but many of you have not been many of the research statistics produced in the last year or so about just how much we love our parks. two thirds of us visit a park at least weekly; 90 percent of us believe that our parks are essential to the quality-of-life in san francisco; we use them so much and we love them to death. since 2005, into the city's general fund has grown by 20 percent we have cut the funding to those parts by more than 26 percent, moving in the wrong direction and has been for years. as supervisor wiener pointed out, the greatest weaknesses are in the areas of gardening and patrols. we want to show you some beautiful spots but also some of the places that have been all but abandoned because maintenance has been so referred because we don't have enough gardeners . to get out there and take care of that part the same is true for many parks across the city because we don't have enough gard

the radios didn't work in the enclosed stair wells, and i said mr. mayor i'm -- a lot of this goes back to your time as the police chief and before, so if you want me to cease and desist. i understand political imperatives. if you want me to cease and desist i will. i will not change the report but if you want someone else to do the report it's fine. very honorable mayor jordan said "no, tell it like it is" and i did and that report is available. it's available. it's a damming report but gave birth to this building and all the good things going on here. it allowed me to change the radios of the police department, the fire department, the paramedics and bring in 800 mega hurtz and not what oakland had but the simulcast radios and departments didn't want toking on the same but we put them on it and you're probably in the next genraition of those radios right now and by the way -- there was a man here who preceded the mayor. it was then called the chief administrative officer and rudy rothenberg and incredible civil servant and i worked with him on this build
