[bell] >> chairwoman: thank you. >> good morning. my name is sean connelly. i'm the president of the municipal attorneys' association here in san francisco. we represent 400 attorneys that work for the city, city attorneys, district attorney's, public defenders, real estate lawyers, sheriff's lawyers, public advocates, d.p.a. we're stakeholders in this. we give up a lot on the front end to enjoy a benefit on the back end. this is not a platform or fund. >> chairwoman: please continue. thank you. sorry. >> it is not a platform or fund for politics or slush fund for other political issues. i'm here to support ms. paskin. i don't know mr. helfun, but i know that this woman has subject matter and expertise. the fund has performed very well under her leadership and her presence on the committee. i remind this body that for us, we need someone that has a strict financial fiduciary obligation to that fund. in this day and age, too many people, politically backed, are playing games with this fund, and our public employee pensions are under attack all the time. thank
