chuck teller, steve unger, steve barton,. >> thank you, commissioners. hello again. my name is dinah sanders, san francisco resident former retail business owner and founder of the holiday disyardia, which is for letting go of sthauf doesn't make your life awesome and phone books definitely fall in that category. they're something many of us no longer use. i wrote four years ago about not being able to remember the last time i used a phone book. my first thought on this one, as i see some upset reactions from the business community, is are there any other publicity practices which cost us over a million dollars a year in cleanup and cause this near constant level of urban blight? and if they exist, let's eliminate those too. i strongly support this recommendation. at a minimum, even without this, without these new rules, phone book distributers must obey 184.70 and respect the no hand bills rules. i want a way i cannot get these books. i shouldn't have to go through the effort of an opt-out call to every vendor any more than i should have to speak to every dog owner

i talked to steve barton. he mentioned that earlier. i talked to elaine jennings from small small potatoes. just a lot of the other business owners in my community and everybody seemed to feel the same way. a lot of us, like me renterred commercial space that's mixed use and upstairs residence whfment they come to me, i can recycle them the same day. but the residents for upstairs that sits for weeks and customers stepping over them and for my restaurant it created an issue because it clogged the opening. so it's pretty -- it's pretty bad. and it's kind of like if i started a business selling t-shirts with ads on them of sports wear makers and just threw them all over san francisco. it seems like that would be littering but it's kind of the same thing the phone book does. it's just accepted for some reason and i think it shouldn't be. so i support the legislation. thanks. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good evening, commissioners. commissioner o'brien, i will try not to make you nasty guy here. i'm peter dylan representing the yellow pa

. >> steve barton. i confess having spent nine months in a u.k. and a chest hospital as a student, -- nhs hospital as a student, seen some of the open wards there. is very different, but that is not my question. at the moment, the dollar is primarily the world's reserve currency, but at the rate we are printing them, that might not last too much longer. what kind of currency might you see as the world's reserve currency if the dollar is dethroned? >> i would like to see a commodity-backed currency. >> you can watch all of the speech, and questions and answers, and our video library. we are leaving this, and taken to a roundtable discussion with a number of mayors from around the country, including tom menino from boston, and kevin johnson from sacramento. live coverage here, on c-span. >> took an emerging, national, nonprofit organization, and oversaw s potential growth and raise and invested more than $3 billion in private capital in inner-city and rural communities nationwide. other points include serving boston's mayor's kevin white and raymond
