it is my understanding today, i had a phone call from director palem clarify hating the state definition of gifts which is what is included in this measure does include still that particular narrow exemption for informational conferences in sim pose ya, so my memo, i believe that concern has been addressed and so i just want to say that for the record as well, and those are our two most significant problems with the measure, so that is great news. i do want to make one technical point that i believe should be addressed in this measure and that relates to inflation. the charter of san francisco which list it is duties and responsibilities of this commission requires an annual adjustment of any kinds of limitation or disclosure thresholds imposed by city law or using the annual increase or decrease in cpi, i believe that since this is a ballot measure, it supersedes the charter which is older and therefore there would need to be language in here specifying that those duties and responsibilities are also part of this ordinance, and that's the problem with ballot measures, things get set in
