i am a pca which means patient care assistant. i have been working there since 2009. i never had any disciplinary action taken against me until last week when i was given a notice of dismissal because of an incident that occurred. out of all the employees that were present during the incident , i was the only one who got a termination letter. the city never gave me a response to the allegation against me. that week was the week of thanksgiving which gave my union exactly three days to prepare. i think it was on purpose against me. it was harsh, and it was nonnon expected. i was not given a warning, a suspension or anything. my boss went straight to determination. as i mentioned, no one else was involved who is getting terminated. ever since i received a letter from my boss, i haven't been the same. most of the stuff h.r. wrote about me and the package i received was completely untrue. the job is my only source of income that i have. that job is how i support my 1 -year-old grandson and my granddaughter who is going to nursing school. if i lose this job, me and my fami

particularly the barbury coast neighborhood association, our non-profit organizations from ccdc and the pca and i want to thank bridge housing and the john stewart company and others, for moving forward this important project. i will say, as a chair of the assembly housing committee, i want to thank governor brown and my fellow colleagues for voting and signing ab14-23. some of you may have known that we had to get changes to our state-public trust law in order for the 88 broadway project to include a childcare center, as well as to have the mixed income affordability that is the hallmark of this project. it takes all of us working together to ensure that we are addressing our housing challenges. this is exactly the kind of project that we should be building. projects that build affordable housing, community, that takes care of families, immigrants and seniors. this is what san francisco is about. i just want to thank everyone who has come together for this important announcement. thank you. [applause] >> i'd like to introduce one of the partners in this effort who is helping with the devel

moderator: army corps and pca still needs a permit. your stance on that? mr. johnson: do the environmental reviews in the permitting, make sure the rules are in place and then make sure you can go ahead and mine? mr. walz: and never know what your answer i on this is. i will totally what i think about it come i think we should be moving forward with it. they have been working on this from was 14 years now, and i have a funny feeling that if the mpca, it doesn't change, they will be working on it for 40 more years. mp.ould change the moc c we should bea moving through these processes so we can allow the private sector to work through these jobs. the process we have in place happens to be very strict, which is good, but we have been throwing politics at this to slow it down. moderator: we actually have been on the lightning round. mr. walz: we will not shortchange the process. mr. walz:. you follow the science and of the environmental reviews, you don't shortchange the permitting process, and then the liability, forward.go the peace that needs to be talked about

i'm sure that affected a disproportionate number of black nurses and our cma is ready scaled down to pcas. patient care assistance you are absolutely wonderful and can work just as hard as any registered nurse. and i have to question the standardization across the board of what managers allow their workers to get a part-time schedule to go back to school. what i want to tell you is that all of the nurse managers at san francisco general are required to get a masters degree and had classes brought to the campus to make it easier for them. what about everybody else who deserves an education and deserves to be promoted to positions that get paid what i get paid, and all of my patients deserve to see people who look like them. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. >> hello. thank you for having me. i am from local 393. actually, i have been analysing the whole situation. these people need to be compensated for posttraumatic stress disorder. and it is a security issue too because the h.r. department, what happened in my department, when i reported, the department turned on me. so now i wi

there is still an army corps and pca still has to do it. your stance on that permitting? >> the science, do the environmental reviews, do the permitting, make sure the liability fund's in place, then move us towards a clean energy economy. >> is there daylight between you two on this issue? >> i think there is because i never know what your answer is on this again, which is kind of par for the course. >> care to repeat what i just said there? >> i think we should be actually moving forward with it. they have been working on this for almost 14 years now and i have a funny feeling that if the mpca doesn't change, they will be working on it for 14 more years before they get anything from them. i will change the mpca. i think we should be moving through these processes so we can allow the private sector to create good jobs. the process that we have in place both at the federal and the state level happens to be very strict and i think that's good. but we have been throwing politics into this. >> we have totally abandoned the lightning round. >> you want to get another last wor
