i put out a message about ending crime against humanity in san francisco. but you continue to go after conservative live. so today i am here to ask you, all of you today, once and for all, and end your investigation and no more from air. those are bs. is going to cost a lot of money for the taxpayers as you are here. one and for all i'm asking you to do your job and you supposed to end the slavery system in san francisco. i am here to earnestly urge you to think about what you have done since 2019. to me, i am only a christian who believe in god and gave you a message stop crime against humanity in san francisco. but yet you're going after me since 2019 and today is december eighth, 2023. already your time is expired. shame on you people. stop that. thank you . any other speakers as a party to this case, i request the ability to make comment outside of public comment. is your journey. but that's permissible all as long as the other party has an opportunity to comment. if he's here. if he's not here, is it you? you can proceed. okay, one second, madam chair.

that being said, i think procurement in san francisco is broken. i think it is broken in lots of places and one reason why when san franciscans look at the city government and see it not working and get so frustrated, well part is our brokenness of our hiring processes and the other piece of brokenness i think is procurement. i guess it would be helpful for you to put more flavor rather then just saying, it is faster, what it means to try to-why it is a actual problem for the department to do things that sound reasonable like solicit competitive bids? how could that in any way, that is supposed to drive down the coast of government and make things more efficient so you are asking a group of politicians to do something that sounds profoundly counter intuitive which is make government move more quickly by taking away the protection we think we have that make government function more efficiently and lower cost. i dopet think it does those thing but think you need to explain to us what the problem is you interest trying to solve with this. >> thank you.
