in the city of san francisco particularly broadcast across san francisco's main thorough fair. we welcome to resolution submitted today on this matter. we request this city takes immediate action to remove this false and harmful message to broadcast accurate public health message. san francisco must preach what it practices. we believe that the city of san francisco and california do an outstanding job of improving the access ability and affordable health care and men and women support public health. by approving these banners by public properties, the city continues to undermine the women's private medical decisions and undermine public health. we encourage the board of supervisors to take a strong stand against these banners that lies to the public and we ask you to encourage the women's right to choose for their own reproductive health and urge the board to pass an ordinance to ensure such message will never be displayed in the future. thank you. i have a copy of this statement. >> good afternoon supervisors, thank you so much for letting us testify today. i am opposed to th

to get around this go to highway 101 headed to san francisco airport or in to san francisco northboundeat alternate. here is the forecast. >> thank you, sue, from the roof, we focus on green bay, big game this weekend, and we will head off to the frozen tundra, game time is two below zero dropping down to minus eight which does not include the wind chill. on monday morning, catching an early flight it is 21 below with a high of 13 below. ouch. everything is freezing and breaking. 29 in atlanta, and 70 through the central valley and a few upper 60's and low-to-mid 70's to the south and my seven-day forecast for lake tahoe is snow showers possible on tuesday, wednesday, thursday next week. we have rain in our forecast. not a lot, but i have that seven-day forecast. here is kristen and matt with the news. >>> a man to his 20 is in critical condition at san francisco general after a car hit him while crossing the street. it happened at 5:00 p.m. yesterday. the man was walking outside the crosswalk against the light when the car hit him. alcohol was not involved but speed may have been a fa

do we put it in san francisco or do we put it in san bruno? it's going to go somewhere. 850 bryant has been condemned basically so where are we going to put them? if we put them in san bruno, it's really unfair to the visiting families. they talked about a half hour to 45-minute drive time. a lot of these poor families can't drive. they have to take public transportation. for them it's a half day to get to san bruno and back. that is really unfair and without these families, you deprive these incarcerated inmates of the support that they need from their families. so, we need a facility and this is not jail expansion. several people incorrectly talked about this as jail expansion. this is actually a jail reduction. the new facility would have fewer cells, more program space, and much improved family visitation space. the current family visitation space for men in san francisco is horrid. it's just horrible. so, this would be a much more humane facility with better mental health facilities. and while i'm all in favor of more pretrial diversion a

i live in san francisco and we hire san franciscans and we benefited from go solar sf. that has been an amazing program but one thing that program doesn't aggress is the issue of energy efficiency, water conservation, transportation, the off loading of natural gas as a fossil fuel that we use to heat our homes and it also doesn't address how to pay for solar electric systems and solar water systems over the life of those systems and that's an impediment and right now the vehicle for that is third party ownership and investors group and wallstreet owns the systems on people's homes and only addresses the solar electric system and not how we reduce the natural gas usage, how we reduce hour water usage and how we decarbonize our transportation and those three issues are actually major issues with respect to climate change and how we respond to that, so we have a huge opportunity to respond to climate change and by engaging a local work force to do that work and skill people up. we have many old buildings in san francisco. many old buildings that would benefit from the upgr

jim lazarus, san francisco chamber of commerce. supervisor kim and supervisor cohen and you, [speaker not understood], i especially enjoy and ivy, a great thanks to you for reaching out early in the process, allowing us to convene numerous members of the business community, small and large employers, to work through a process with the advocates and yourselves on legislation that we're very proud to support. we think this does the right thing for employers and job applicants. to be honest with you, i kind of joked early on when this was introduced that we'd call this fat chance we'd hire a felon ordinance. but it's really far different. it's a fair chance and it's more than a fair chance. it's just the right thing to do as an employer to broaden the scope of the applicants that you have to give them a fair chance at the interview process and to create working -- work opportunities for people that need it the most. and i think so many of our employers that were involved in this process again thank you for opening that to us and comin
