Washington journal continues. Host we welcome Bridget Bowman from roll call. Senator al franken was accused yesterday of acts in 2006. He said he did not remember it that way but later had a lengthy your statement apologizing to this woman and those who worked with him, those that were on the tour, etc. What is happening now . Guest senator franken indicated he is willing to work with the Ethics Committee on the investigation. Mitch mcconnell and Chuck Schumer are both calling for an ethics investigation. That makes this investigation extremely likely. How it would probably work as the Ethics Committee would conduct an initial investigation into the allegations and likely hold some sort of hearing and then come out with a recommendation, whether that be expulsion or something else. Can take atigations while. I was talking to the former chief counsel for the senate Ethics Committee earlier this week about roy moore, and he says investigations can sometimes take months to years. If it is
With the community we convened a working group of enabled leaders and we did a lot of talking about the concerns and the concerns that surfaced for the neighborhood that we heard very clearly they did not want this site to be 24 7 and they did not want people coming in from ousted tenderloin or being brought in from outside the tenderloin use services so we took that to heart and scaled back what we planned for that and we know that any Head Quarters for the department of homelessness needs to be accessible to folks experiencing homelessness but we wanted to listen and be respectful of the community and scale back the Resource Center from there we continue to hold meet meetings and i ran ten meetings throughout the Community Alliance for a better tenderloin and met with stakeholders the mayor led a meeting with Business Leaders in the community and we discussed this framework and this plan and i think that this what we landed on here comes through with a nice compromise we had some fol
Frankly have more faith elsewhere than the soma plan. The rec center has not had hand towels since may. So there are issues when we talk about renovating the rec center and creating parks, what it means for now . How can we creep eight new when we dont take care of what we have . And i feel theres disproportionate investment in structures, not people. There are people in crisis that need the support and putting it into a building or a set of activities doesnt meet the need where it is. I dont want my kids to have to see that on the way to school. Its a huge issue that we hope can be taken as a whole and not just within that footprint. Thank you. Seeing no further comments on item number 3, i request that we close Public Comment. Public comment is closed. I want to thank all of the staff and members of the public and supervisor kim and her staff for the long road its taken to get to here. In the first hearing i raised some questions about whether or not there are studies that could allo
Language is a [beep] show. Its hard to not think about what is happening on the other side of sixth street. The school is in crisis. We have one school in our district and talking about a new school is ridiculous to me. We had to get pinterest to pay for a second social worker because we have the highest number of homeless kids. 85 of middle schoolers were reading below grade levels. We know that means they will drop out and become incarcerated. For us, its a huger issue, instead of just what is happening in the footprint of this plan area, but we hope that some of this can reach over to the other side of 6th street. Park and rec in this plan, i frankly have more faith elsewhere than the soma plan. The rec center has not had hand towels since may. So there are issues when we talk about renovating the rec center and creating parks, what it means for now . How can we creep eight new when we dont take care of what we have . And i feel theres disproportionate investment in structures, not
Saying that were missing our water, and that should have been taken care of 10, 20, 30 years ago. Are we building, flushing, watering our plants still with pure water. Supervisor kim, graduates of the Navigation Systems do better when theyre relocated outside of their environments. Theres districts that dont want the Navigation Systems. But they should be able to handle the graduates. We need a new, realistic housing policy for the people in San Francisco, from the seniors, that the steps in their homes, they cant navigate anymore, to the seniors on only social security. From the renters that are stuck in homes that they cant move out of until they die and they have to die before the property is sold. Reality check time. Happy recess. Councillor breed thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. If there are any other members that want to address the board, please step up. Come to the right side of the chamber. Im michael shane. Im here to address our concerns about the written f
