Thats the right way to frame this. The last thing that i would say is, as you correctly noted, the board of supervisors has acted before on this. I dont know that there has been any new information or evidence thats been presented here about the pros and cons of this system. The fact is that the folks who have raised concerns about the free muni for youth for low income youth pilot have consistently been against that. And i respect that. But there is nothing new that theyre saying in terms, respectjjp 9 terms of their opposition. So the amendments that are before you reflect the fact that this board of supervisors has been on record before, and we believe should be on record again, asking that we commit to making this pilot a reality on the premise that working on this pilot that makes muni accessible does not preclude maintaining the system and if so it is in that spirit that this amendment is offered and i hope that my colleagues support the amendments. Thank you. President chiu col

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

During that period he formed the committee to defend gays in the military. This was back in the mid1970s. And he began his work on the boycott in 1975. Of course those of us who know a little bit about harvey milk know a little bit about his involvement in that boycott. As howard explains it, they came to harvey milk and howard and asked for their support for this strike and boycott and both harvey and howard endorsed it, which was really key to making the boycott successful because howard, working with harvey milk, used their influence with bartenders and bar owners in the make the boycott successful and it was really the first time where you had that very powerful pairing of the Labor Movement with the Lgbt Community, and that has become very powerful.
