supervisor weiner: i will be supporting the resolution. i understand the concerns about permitting and camping. i know we have all struggled with that on one level or another. clearly, there are boundaries. but i think we have to have some degree of flexibility when we look at what occupy sf is doing, why people are doing this. it is one of the most extraordinary talent as we have faced in our country in i don't know how long, in a very long time. we talk about the possible evisceration of the middle class and the incredible inequities, and the paralysis in washington and sacramento that is free in our social safety net and ability to invest in infrastructure and create jobs, harming small businesses. it is an outrageous and unacceptable situation in our country. sometimes, you have to push boundaries. we have a permanent system. we have rules. but there has to be flexibility as well. president chiu: colleagues, is there additional discussion? seeing none, why don't we take a roll-call vote on this as amended. supervisor farrell: no. super

the message about proposition e sponsored by supervisor weiner as well as f sponsored by supervisor weinerh come from the place saying that elected officials know better than the voters. whether there is too much on our ballot or not, the voters, it seems to me, should not be talked down to, should not be told that they need a measure like this because as supervisor weiner has said, the voters go to the ballot. it's a complicated ballot. they don't know how to understand the ballot. there hasn't been a lot of vetting of the issues. there hasn't been a lot of discussion before things get to the ballot. so the poor voters get to the voting booth and don't know what to do and it's not fair to them. >> i believe that the voters particularly our voters in san francisco are very educated, are very knowledgeable. they believe in democracy. they want to vote on measures and they don't want to be told that they're not smart enough to figure out what to vote for and what to vote against. so once they have made that choice, we need to respect that choice. >> thank you. >> thank you. we hope you found

this morning deborah weiner answers another s.o.s.a viewer on the edge of financial collapse. >> when the i.-team profiled the davis family and their two-year battle to obtain social security disability benefits, the story touched a nerve. >> the savings is gone. it is over. >> lee, a harford county truck driver suffering with spinal cord problems was declared disabled by doctors, but he could not get approved for benefits until he and his wife contacted the i-team. one week after the i-team intervened, social security gave the davis' $59,000 in back pay. that quick and astonishing resolution produced a flood of calls. >> we have been fighting this since 2006, said a viewer.
