over many, many decades that is incredible you look at the history of our cityhis city and make sure that it reflected the diversity and history where people came from i know that consul general will mention things we are reminded about the easter rising centennial or the hundred and 605 anniversary of our parade and efforts the city that is another great history for the 32 celebration of our sister city and again, i want to say thank you to the united irish community for leading the efforts and the parade and having the graushd mr. boim and others that are here today and being part of volunteers that keep our celebrations alive and the history alive over the jim considering the john boyle's or the deferring admit our part of our celebrations of the sister city and charlotte said earlier anita and i have a great trip on behalf of the city to celebrate the sister city and treernd things that help our city for example, the first direct flights between san francisco and dublin e bin gosh what wonderful (clapping.) and from what i hear it is more successful than we

no jobs, and actually the restaurant and bar city in our city has taken off and exploded in success. the liquor tax argument that was made for that now is being applied to the sugar sweetened beverage argument. neither of them are true. >> some people in some positions feel that this might be sort of like a reverse tax on people who aren't poor. who are paying more when they go to the store and buy their sodas. do you feel that that could impact the community? >> let's look at the reality of it. the beverage industry made about $65 billion gross profits last year. 11 million in net profits. and where do they advertise the most? african american and latino and poor neighborhoods. they are pedaling this stuff in poor neighborhoods as is. my view is if we tax it, the additional money will stay in the neighborhood to create pre-k community schools and improve every park recreation center and library in the city. >> the tax has been proposed before twice. it's been slapped down by the city council twice. how do you plan to get around it? >> first of all, when the mayor proposed the tax in
