hopefully someday you will train other firefighters like yourselves today. whether it is responding to restructure fire, medical,, making a presentation to the community, you are now part of the official san francisco fire department family. i am very proud of each and everyone of you. [applause] the profession you have entered is more than just a job. it is a vocation. it is an honorable and noble vocation. there are tremendous rewards and satisfaction that go along with a career in the san francisco fire department. along with this comes great risk and responsibility. as firefighters and medical service providers, we put our lives on the line daily to carry out a very important mission. this is painfully present in our minds with the tragic loss of firefighters in june, heroes who made the old and sacrifice in fulfilling the mission of the san francisco fire department. i know vince and tony are looking down and giving you the thumbs up today. you are to be commended for the work over the last 14 weeks. you have formed a strong team. the bond will always b

you saw them for yourselves. the witnesses of the state, with the exception of the sheriff of macom county, has presented them to yourselves, you gentlemen, of the court in their confidence that their testimony would not be doubted. believing that you gentlemen would go along with them on the assumption, the evil assumption that all negros lie, that all negros are basically immoral beings, that all negros are not to be trusted around our women. which, gentlemen, as you know in itself a lie as black as tom robinson's skin. a lie i do not need to explain to you. you know the truth and the truth is this -- that some negros lie. some negros are immoral. some negros are not to be trusted around women, black or white. but this is a truth that applies to the human race and not to any particular race of man. there is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a lie, who has never done an immoral thing and there is no man living who has never looked upon a woman without desire.

our blood spread too strong, and they could not take that away from us, so just give yourselves a roundf applause. we are american indians. we are at city hall, and they are going to listen to us. [applause] i am deeply honored to be asked to say a few words on behalf of nathan. i have no nathan for many years. he and his father and i played basketball together in the 1970's, but i also know about the struggles they then had to overcome in his life, the disappointment, the hurt, and the pain. it is something that a lot of our children and young adults are going through in this community as they grow up. as elders and as adults, it is our responsibility to turn to these children and young adults and lit them up and encourage them to be proud of with a our as american indians, to learn their culture and traditions. those dancers that came out here this evening, give them a round of applause because that is our culture and our tradition. it is continuing. that is a drum. recognize them because they are carrying on that from that brings them together. a couple of weeks ago, i was sitting ar

so, children, tell me a little bit about yourselves? do you have any hobbies? >> riding my bike. >> andrew, do you have any hobbies? >> playing. >> okay. i'm sorry, andrew. >> all right. andrew. you're fired. >> you're fired. thank you for your years of service. so we've streamlined the family, but we've still got all this pesky debt. no problem. >> one thing corporations like to do is push up all their debt on off-the-book subsidiaries. >> hand narcotics do you do anything to help your family? >> yeah. >> good, because you're now $83,000 in debt and i don't know you. good-bye. okay. >> hello? mom? dad? >> all right. >> hello? >> ignore that. as we know, the american worker has gotten used to living high on the hog. eating again, rodney? these snacks here isn't doing you any favors. >> perhaps amerifam should outsource to find labor to do more for less. >> are you willing to do twice the vacuuming for half the sex? >> si. >> what about no sex? no sexo con stacy? >> no. >> next. now it's time to start making some money. oh, my gosh, get out of my way. corporate

you already know yourselves that there is a problem with redundancy and this commission has itself said it is very dissatisfied with this piecemeal approach, but one of the reasons why this piecemeal approach works as they can come before you and ignore every other application they have pending and pretend they do not exist and there is no interaction between them. t-mobile and at&t seek to merge. what is going to happen with those redundancies? [bell] why should there be a situation in which necessity is determined by whether they pay the church some money in order to get the rights to do this? this is not necessary. it is not desirable. it is potentially harmful for the neighborhood. thank you. >> are there any additional speakers? public comment is closed. i will make a couple of remarks. i have talked to the department and some of the supervisors about an overall plan, number one, i do not think the supervisors have come together on the concept of it to and they have not provided enough funds for the department to do anything regarding it. as to safety, i hope everyone understands i

you may remember something that was copied to yourselves last january. listing a prolonged series of difficulties in getting a building inspection actually enforced. we have three appeals that we filed. there is a fourth that we did not file that was for excess. we thought that that would go to the access appeals board, but they do not have jurisdiction. we will have to bring it to you first. >> may i interrupt? this item is before you not on substance, but an underlying appeal. he has asked to file his appeal without pay of it -- paying filing fees. you have the ability to waive the fees. he has been informed that he could fill out the form for its bid -- and agency used by the court of appeals. he did not choose to do that. he wanted to come to you to keep the appeals that he wishes to file. the ultimate item before you today is whether or not you will allow him not to pay the filing fees that the board of supervisors have set. >> that is exactly right. thank you for making my speech for me. there are two approaches to the question of fees. one is the

the managers left the room and let me speak to the engineers, people such as yourselves.ed what they really needed to stay here. they said they loved the diversity and culture. they wanted more biplanes -- bike lanes and infrastructure to support their lifestyle. they wanted help with the challenging payroll tax. they gave me input at the engineering level and from the management level. we went on to make a pretty historic decision to make sure a company like twitter would grow from 250 people to the expected up to 3000 people in the next two and a y

ways to vastly improve the way they deal with their customers because you are not just hurting yourselves, you are hurting everyone. >> i appreciate your comments and will definitely relay that. obviously this is a consumer company and we want to have good relations with the consumers and community and i take to heart your comments. >> and is there any other public comment at this time? please step up. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i have been working with residents in the 11 districts on this issue. first, let me point out that settlement discussions are part of the typical procedure for case like this. it is nothing unusual about the judge getting to a discuss for a settlement and our point is that we would like to have the city attorney not to settle the case. there was a 2005 u.s. supreme court decision and the city of rancho palace estates versus abrams that ruled in these types of lawsuits, t-mobile is not permitted under law of obtaining any monetary damages from the city or any attorneys' fees from the city. and neighbors are willing to pay for the experteds and there are no com

take it up and go after it yourselves. one of the wolf things about american politics, whether you are legal, illegal, in status or out of status, you can walk through the doors of federal government, and knock on those doors, and find someone to talk to, and if you try hard enough, you will get to the cossak person or senate person sooner or later. we have brought on several occasion 2,000 irish undocumented to washington, d.c., held a holiday on the hill, and marched through the corridors on capitol hill, and we made our way there. that is what needs to be done. to my friend here tonight from scotland, i would urge him to get him to press the matter with the british government. many of the undocumented from ireland are from northern ireland. they are both irish citizens and u.k. citizens. we have tried to engage the u.k. government in pressing for this, and they have had no interest. there are thousands of undocumented citizens of the united kingdom in america, and the united kingdom government has no interest. i would u

give yourselves a big round of applause. [applause] all i've got is some fish and a few loaves of bread. and a whole lot of folks have got to get fed. but seven seats were made in under seven days, the first man was forgiven when he missed the hague, the branch was taken by a dove to a book that was built before a flood, if a rainbow sent out a sign, if someone was told to sacrifice his own son and told to hold up before he was done, then the fish and bread that i just said is all that i've got, is all that i need for me to get fed and for me to feed a whole lot of folks in need because they set me on fire. when they look back, i was chilling. i had to fight like 10 older brothers, and because i had this dream, so they sold me out to a band of bandits and one day was commanded to stop, drop, when i got this fish that i found while fishing around, under water with the daughter of the pharaoh, the child was chosen to force the pharaoh to free his folks from a foreign land, repair everywoman, prepare every man, prepare every ch

and one of the things missing in how you evaluate yourselves is that we do not have an entity that gives us some sort of quarterly analysis. you presuppose that the city's hiring practices are the best. and billy brown was there. thousands of administrative assistant entered the system. so here we have the aid of the department of human resources making statements, but a lot of them participated in those shenanigans. so my input, besides what i said on item number one, is that you represent us, but we get very little representation in terms of adjudication, process, and some sort of help to the constituents when it comes to the hiring practices. so we fall back on the grand jury's reports. and the least you can do is put a timeline, a sharp timeline, to see that something is done that balances the constituents of san francisco. thank you very much. supervisor campos: thank you, sir. >> i am patrick. so, interesting to hear supervisor farrell's attempt at comedy. austere times -- you just give a $20 million tax break to twitter. you just issued $110 million for certificates of participati
