Made so voters can make the best decision. Voters understandably assume that the arguments that are being presented to them as the official proponent and opponent arguments are exactly that, proponents and opponents. Unfortunately, weve seen over the years through a flaw in our municipal elections code that some people have been able to game the system to be able to take on the role of official proponent or opponent, and they do this because when the board of supervisors itself does not keep the official proponent or opponent role, anyone from the public can submit a proposed argument to be official, to be official proponent or opponent. And if there is more than one submitted, a lottery is conducted and one of those arguments is selected.

Environment. As i say, the great race is a twomonth long bay area wide competition that helps to clean the air by reducing c. O. 2 emissions and encouraging workers and employees to use alternative and cleaner and greener commuting methods. And this spring over 1,000 employees from 70 Bay Area Companies saved more than 770,000 pounds of c. O. 2 from entering the environment. And the winners have been chosen, theyre recognized for, one, the highest c. O. 2 savings, two, the highest level of Employee Participation, and the highest percentage of clean commute days, days when employees used cleaner, greener alternatives to driving alone to just transit, biking and car pooling. Im really proud to say San Francisco businesses took the top spots in a number of the category. And id like to thank the executive director of Community Focus Stephanie Anderson who is here with us. If she could come forward. But id like to thank her and her staff for their efforts in coordinating this annual event.
