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

So, the mourning is very appropriate in that case. I think with my thanks, i do have to make a lot of thanks, i have to say thanks to district 4 for giving me the opportunity to serve. To have voted for me in two years, 2008 and 10, its been an honor and privilege to serve the residents and to work with everybody there.

To, of course, harvey, carol adams who was with us before, john who is with us now, thank you. You guys have to sit there all of our meetings. And, so, give us adv
Came on as chair of the Budget Committee when you were first appointed there, it looked like it was a bit daunting at first. You had this furrow on your forehead. But that probably lasted about a week, and ive been watching, youve been really impressed. So, i know you come with great skill to and knowledge to your new position, and i wish you all the best. And, you know, hopefully youre going to pull in that corporate money from downtown and make sure we can have it available to us to spend, a way to support our neighborhoods, especially neighborhoods that are further from the heart of where a lot of Decision Making actually benefits in San Francisco. And, katie, supervisor tang, supervisor to become tang, im really excited to work with you and ive always felt that youve been a great representative for supervisor chus office.
