Now represented by supervisor wiener, as well as treasurer jose cisneros. I think there are many things to discuss in this process. There are many questions to be talk about including the question of whether or not an airport should be named after an individual to begin with, and if it is an individual, who that individual should be. I cannot sit here and say that there arent and number of individuals who are deserving of this honor. The reality is that one of the Amazing Things about San Francisco is that over the last couple of hundred years of our history we have had some Pretty Amazing people live in the city and county of San Francisco. People from all walks of life who have made tremendous contribution to the city and in the process not only made seven cisco better place and made the state and the country and the world a better place.
