Institution in San Francisco, the Labor Community but also the Lgbt Community and so many communities that have been fighting for social justice. It is true that howards Sisters Brothers in the queer labor and elder human rights movements had the sad duty to report his death on wednesday, november 14 at the beautiful vista manner in San Francisco. He was a veteran of social Movement Since his High School Years in denver, colorado, where when he became an activist. He was born on august 29, 1936 worcester, massachusetts and then to denver where howard spent most of his upbringing. As he talked about his Sexual Orientation and the fact that he was gay, youx jr,i know, he sais aware being gay in the second grade. It gave me a strong empathy with other underdogs that stuck with me all of my life. Howard was actually a junior in high school when he joined the local chapters of the naacp and he diagram onstraitd demonstrated leadership skills, managing the campaign of the first africanameric
Resident on marina boulevard. Thank you. Hi. I recently found out we all recently found out about the proposal to agree to a lease a restaurant lease on the marina green. And were quick to action. We presented yesterday, and were here finding out we can do this again tonight to speak to all of you. First of all, late notice on this very important decision, its greens are open space, our beautifulhj[ waterfront, placina restaurant, you know, comments have been made, serving alcohol, long hours, additional lighting, lack of parking facilities. It should be taken into greater consideration. I understand that park and rec is looking to raise funds, especially to develop the west side or western yacht harbor. Im sure there are other alternatives to be able to do fundraising for that purpose without destroying our beautiful city sky or waterfront. I7j÷ think its rather just astonishing that when we speak to our neighbors, that no one knows of this. Although rec and park said that they did a
This is one of the allowed uses. But as supervisor elsbernd stawtd stated so is maintenance procurement or rehabs and this is a choice, not a false choice. We heard that yesterday. We heard it today. That is absolutely rhetoric. 82 and well i dont like it, but the fact is that transit funding is a limited thing. Its not this growing asset. You dont just use the money for something, and then it magically appears from somewhere else. It is a for i dont like it but its a zero sum game in terms of how we use very scarce transit dollars. This is anything but a false choice. I will also say that i recall, months and months ago, hearing both the mayor and mr. Reiskin state that no further operating money will be used for this program, period. Those were categorical statements. So when we went to the mtc and mtc was proposing to use a form of lifeline money to give to San Francisco, ini x. ÷ think 4 million for this program, that money cant be used just for general maintenance. It is lifeline
Here. The transgenders have just left outside the city today. Thank you for the support. Although were finding out in this city a lot of people civic and civil rights are being cut back on. We hope you, the board of supervisors, will be like the board of supervisors who brought forth the medical marijuana that now 25 states enjoy. Supervisors to create codes and sros will be coming here december 4. You know sros, you talk about domestic violence, you talk about homophobia, racism. Its inside now. People want to get up from the sheets and run to the street, whether they naked or not. You know the naked truth is that we really want you guys to do what chris daly did. Hes the only one that built apartments on the corner of bank burger king. The United States two weeks ago we voted for the president. Two weeks today. They emo he that the know the United States politicians are working three days a week and no times for the citizens. We dont want you to reflect that. I want to remember you b
To choose one or the other, to me, is not accurate. It is not a choice that has to be made. It is not how San Francisco should operate its Public Transit system. We can have an accessible system that is reliable. The two are not at adds odds with one another. So, colleagues, i have circulated through the clerk a set of amendments that provides language that reflects the position that indeed you can maintain the system, and still provide accessibility to low income families, and kids in the city. And so i hereby make a motion to amend the resolution presented by supervisor wiener along the lines outlined in the amendment that has been distributed. So moved. Second. President chiu supervisor campos has made a motion as described seconded by supervisor olague. On the motion to amend, supervisor avalos. Supervisor avalos thank you, president chiu. I will be supporting this amendment. It makes much sense because i was very concerned that the original resolution overturned probably a years w
