mr. vander pool, would you like to respond? go ahead. >> thank you, a number of the responses provided by the district attorney's office indicated that a lot of it's work was dependent on funds that have been approved, but placed in reserve. i know that's been discussed partially however as a general citizen i would like some clarification as to whether all the funds have been released or are there strings attached because the reason i ask, if you look at the response the money has been allocated, but they haven't been able to get that money. there is a disconnect there. i want to make sure there are no other strings attached that funds maybe in advance but not gotten from the department to use for their investigations into these and other serious incidents. in addition, we encourage the d. a. to continue to work with the san francisco police department regarding each department's roles and responsibilities. it sounds like some of those roles and responsibilities may change based on the information we read in today's paper and
