Senate bill 2 19 sponsored by leland yee extends the double fine zones that were established in 2008 to make them permanent. And since the establishment of the double fine zone, deadly accidents have dropped by about 75 along these busy routes. This bill is also supported by the California Alliance of retired americans because they, seniors and people with disabilities know that this will help protect seniors and their families. There is so much more work we can do in San Francisco, but the board of supervisors i believe should voice its strong support for important legislation like this to support pedestrian safety. Also, especially given supervisor kims comments about the tragic death of a child and the families in treasure island, im working also on a number of Richmond District fires and i know that others from other supervisors have fires in their district. But im calling for a hearing on our citys responsiveness to the needs of fire victims after displacing residential fires. Eve

Appreciation for the golden gate workers i worked on for a year and a half. I look forward to the leadership of supervisors breed, yee and wiener on the Golden Gate Bridge board. A number of families brought to us at that board was one of the issues that we approved in concept and the 25 million more thats needed to build some barrier to acknowledge the dangers of the Golden Gate Bridge is some of the Unfinished Business that will be before you. Also, the allelectronic tolling that i know that supervisor chiu and others have been working it to educate our community about. Its going to be starting in several weeks. The human beings that have been the toll takers for years, the district is finding additional jobs and training for them, but it will be all electronic tolling by the end of or by early march. I think its march 1st. Also for the bay area government that ive been in alternate to, i am now kind of active on the Administrative Committee and the Regional Housing Needs Assessment

I dont even understand why this is a discussion, the fact that President Trump can put out a tweet and its not considered official. Its directly from the president. Its unfiltered and really does provide us a greater insight into his thinking and why he actually makes decisions. When you see Sebastian Gorka on our air and Kellyanne Conway trying to explain it away, they were backed into a corner. His aides are having to go out and defend the indefensible. When i say t
