feel the hamptonality. >>> back to mark and rhonda lesher.e reached out to the defendants, these folks who said these horrific things about you. they tell us they plan to appeal this case. let me get your reaction and your message to these people who lurk on these websites saying horrible things and they think that they'll remain anonymous, but they don't, always. >> well, the worst thing of all of this is that we have an out-of-control prosecutor in our small county and he took one of the authors of these posts and took here to the grand jury and got us indicted, and it was -- there was no investigation whatsoever. all of it was total lies and we were prosecuted. that was the worst of it. >> the blogs led us to being indicted, led us to hiring attorney, to defend ourselves. basically, the grand jury was just told they can prove their innocence when they go to trial. we had to stand trial. we went to the county and after a week's trial we were found not guilty in 20 minutes. >> that doesn't change the fact that we had to go through it. >> no.

commissioner antonini: i had questions for rhonda simmons on the work force issue. more than a question, just a clarification of my understanding of the situation. correct me if i am wrong, but there are now 6200 jobs in the system, and those are going to be retained. but we're projecting of those 6200, about 600 to 700 per year will change because of attrition. of those 600 to 700 per year, about 100 could be considered entry-level, and the entry level qualifier is no more than a two-year education -- >> i believe that is correct, yes. commissioner antonini: ok, good. of this group, we are saying that no less than 40 will have to be san francisco residents. and i think coming from situations such as the health care cut -- academy or the community benefits organizations. >> correct. the 40 that i am focus on of that 100 is mostly in entry- level health care. so there might be other kinds of areas of, not so much health care, but entry level that is not captured, but we would still work with cpmc to capture as many additional entry level as we could. it is just the f

rhonda simmons from the office of economic and workforce development. i am going to speak on the in- use a portion of the work force agreement. essentially, the job prius in an ant -- christian for anticipation for cpmc is 1500 new jobs over 10 years. roughly 22 of those jobs every year with an entry level definition as defined by two years are less of college, so the focus is not so much on the professional service cider higher-end, higher-skilled jobs. 6200 jobs will remain in san francisco, and there are roughly about 100 vacant entry-level jobs that are refilled every year. there vacated through attrition, promotion, or retirement. we have talked about 40 entry- level jobs a year over the next five years as it relates to in- use, and this is focused on the health care academy side of the work that we do, which is really dealing with that population that has the two-year or less degree. i will stop. if there are any other questions -- >> thank you. we're going to open it up after all the presentations for questions. thank you. >> good morning, commis
