>> president walton: thank you so much, supervisor chan. supervisor melgar. >> supervisor melgar: thank you so much, president walton. and, you know, i don't think i can say it better than you did. i really appreciate remarks and your thoughtfulness. you know, we as a city in all different communities, especially the communities that have seen sighting of first marijuana and then medical marijuana have been issues of regulation and also how to actually implement and make meaningful our equity program. and i actually think we're doing pretty well. at press walton remarked, this is one of the most regulated industries we have. compared to alcohol, tobacco, sugar, we've created an entire infrastructure of regulation and taxation. we're still waiting for the after school moneys to come from the taxes, but they're coming, supervisor ronen. i know that communities are struggling to make sure that it meets their needs, and also they can feel like there's ownership, too. the staff recommended approval to the commission. the commission was split 4-2

director davis, president walton, thank you all. i want to thank president walton for the introduction, but more importantly, for the extraordinary work that he and his team do every day to make san francisco a better place, to make the bay area a safer place. i am honored to be before you for an opportunity that is going to be less a keynote address than preventing information. for me, it is awesome because this is where i've began my career in criminal justice. i'm a little old, so 1997, i began going into y.g.c., juvenile hall. it was this specifically, teaching workshops, and continue to teach them in san francisco for years, and different than expanded in the bay area and throughout the state and indeed throughout the country. i want to say, i want to thank the commissioner for reminding us and reminding me -- i used to emphasize this point -- sometimes, i get so far in the weeds that you forget that this nation was built and founded on violence. and we can blame ourselves and our own community, and while we've got work to do,
