you need someone levelheaded, someone able to speak to the heart of the issue, like julius turman, who i am speaking in favor of today. just a few things i have found out about him over the last few years i know he is a former prosecutor. he has received several awards from the bay area lawyers, the minority bar association, and more. he was also the grand marshal of the 2008 sf pride parade. before i took his place as the proxy to the san francisco democratic committee. he was the proxy for the senator, and just to wrap up i met him several years ago while he was co-chair of the alice b. toklas lgbt democratic club. he has a knack for asking the right questions. he makes sure all sides of an issue are presented and discussed. [chime] supervisor kim: thank you. our thoughts go up to you and our colleagues for the loss of the public servants here today. i also want to acknowledge i know you are here with your granddaughter. good afternoon, supervisors. i believe you ha
