city history. that not only should we recognize this history as part of this city but part of envy job and i believe of supervisors job is to reach into our communities and bring out the talent to help us not only manage but we need more heroes. we need more people from the filipino community to serve and a create and to innovative and to establish the milestones this city deems valuable. so i is back to you hi draw i know a lot of people are dpufs trims amount of credit to helping our public schools succeed we have an in3r50i7b9d relationship with our schools because hi draw mendoza is my advisors and she clearly has been one who has been in my ear about what else we can do. because if we can help our public schools succeed many, many more filipinos who can't and don't go to private school can only succeed in our city with the help of the things we're doing to improve our relationship. so it's aspects like that or the record pace we're doing to reduce the domestic violence in our city. there are leaders from the filipino community we need the talent so it's our job to make sure those communities ar

so it is not surprise some would have us stay where we are a little longer, to rest, to wait, but this city of houston, this state of texas, this country of the united states, was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them. this country was conquered by those who move forward and so will space. william branford, speaking in 1630 of the founding of the plymouth day county said that all great and honorable actions are accompanied by great difficulty. and both must be enterprises and overcome with answerable courage. if this teaches us anything, it is that man and his press for knowledge and progress is determined and cannot be deterred. the exploration of space will go ahead. whether we join in it or not. and it is one of the great adventures of all time. and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race to space. those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first wave of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power. and this generation doe

so this is the heart and soul of the city. i want to share my time with jackie but certainly she has time of her own. we've never been late on our rent, we've never asked for any big improvements, anything that's ever been taken to the building he's taken to the rent berd and had it passed down to us. we've paid for every improvement ever done in 25 years and now we have to leave. thank you, supervisor campos, for mentioning my thought today. once the advocates and artists are gone, who will be left in our city? this is the heart and soul. >> thank you, next speaker, thank you, miss upton. >> i am beverly naylor, i am a musician, as is my husband, and we mentor youth in music in the neighborhood. we also open our home up every morning to a bris, we've been doing that for 12 years, many of them are here today, some of them have elected to come and stand with us. so i feel that we are really community activists in soipl ways in terms of bringing people together. i know many people who are here in support of us and our buddhist c

supervisor wiener began by listing the number of city that follow this kind of policy and listed new york city at the top of that list. what they forget to tell you is that in new york city there is an actual constitutional protection understate law that guarantees that people get shelter. when new york city kicks people out of the parks, new york city is legally required to provide them shelter. that is not the case here. when we kick people out of these parks, these people have no where to go. we heard from the agencies that do this kind of work that we don't have beds to house what people need. if you want to compare yourself to new york city, compare yourself but they actually provide the shelter that we are not providing here. now, we have heard a lot in the past few weeks about what's happening in san francisco and the chronicle talks about the tale of two cities and talks about the huge wealth we have in this city and talks about san francisco that doesn't have the money to fix broken elevators at his public housing projects, league seniors and disabled residents stranded in th

but for a world-class city to have this status is one of the best cities to ever live in.n and to visit. you got to have a police force that rises to world-class standards. and the san francisco police department is in fact world-class standard. tonight with the recognition of the medals of valor, we continue, i think, a very important culture. a culture that is measured by the performance of its officers and those who tonight exceed that standard in every way. and you know it's kind of hard for me to get know everyone of 2,000 officers that work in our police department. i do see the results though. and i don't think we could have landed the bid for the super bowl hosting l without a world class police department. we could not have landed the americus cup in san francisco without the best police department in the country. we could not have landed so many of these world-class events and continue the pride of being one of the faster recovering cities in all of our country without a good police force. so i made it a point tonight to come here and let you know that i may not
