Which essentially disadvantage and persecute young men of color who on a day to day basis are being subjected to the criminal Justice System in a way that is not done by other members of our society. You have got another minute. [ laughter ] on a day to day basis what were doing here in San Francisco is we are disenfranchising folks and limiting their ability for future employment. Once you have a conviction for a nonviolent drugrelated crime, your chances of getting a future employment are essentially nil. There was a Research Study published recently in a San Francisco newspaper, that showed the rate of drug convictions dropped, and the Violent Crime here in San Francisco did not rise. Essentially what were saying is that there is no correlation between drug use and Violent Crime. So the whole notion that we have to go after these folks to go into their neighborhoods and essentially make had a police state of their neighborhoods is ridiculous, preposterous and anne ethical and moral
Breed, mr. Davis and miss johnson. I think that we all we are already doing some of those things. For example, many of the new buildings, were making them as sturdy as we possibly can.

So i think jobs is a big issue for me. Miss johnson . I agree that its difficult to pick just one issue. But i think a lot of our policy issues that were having, that you have in front of us come from a lack of accountable. Where is your money being spent . How is it being spent . There is a lot of mismanagement. And there is a lot of money that goes places we dont know where its going. And you can see it running through all of this discussion of all of the polices.
