and while u.p.s. charge most alaskans extra for delivering their packages, these companies then drop their packages off in anchorage as that hub and let the postal service take care of what we call last-mile delivery. in alaska that often means the last several hundred miles. some are concerned that usps subsidizes the costs of packages with revenue derived from delivering letters. but in fact the law that we passed in 2006, the postal accountability and enhancement act, forbids the postal service from cross subsidizing revenue to make sure that it's competing fairly with commercial package carriers. current law also requires that package delivery covers all of its attributable costs. and while the postal reform commission, or the postal regulatory commission and the federal courts have examined and upheld the cost attribution methodology, the postal service reform act requires yet another look, which i think is probably a fair compromise. importantly, for alaskans and for me, this legislation will no

on san francisco's public and private parking garages, as well as 4,000 [indiscernible] who work at u.p.s. we were shocked to learn of a lease of a property to tower parking, a non-union parking company, which in turn is subleasing the property to amazon, a company that the entire board of supervisors and the mayor put on notice that their anti-union practices are not going to fly in san francisco. it doesn't matter how he got here, but i'm here today to urge you to cancel this lease with these non-union bad actors and begin work on the new office building slated for this site. thank you. >> operator: next caller, your line is open. you have two minutes. >> commissioners, i want to talk on two topics. the first one is a part of many workshops we have [indiscernible] -- and we need another workshop. secondly, we cannot be silent on the community benefits. even the ethics commission, which is working on this and i participated in the hearings, is waiting for y'all to take some action. $300 million that could have served the community and san francisco given to crooks and is even now we have
