Other states. California is one of the 10 states that actually has had more growth. When sequestration came into place is really the first time theres been a major Budget Reduction and the 10 states all the states were hit by it. But the 10 states with growth actually took a kind of double hit because we had to hold harmless the states who have had no growth or low growth. So they had a floor at which their budgets couldnt go underneath and that meant 10 states had to take a little bit more of a dive. This compromise means that the slow growth states will be giving up 1 percent of their budget each year for the next 3 years and then everything will be stabilized at that point and the 10 states, which california is one of, will be receiving additional funds over that time. Having looked at the spreadsheets its under a Million Dollars at its height so, you know, spread across california is it necessarily going to mean a lot of money for us in San Francisco. I think the good news is its g
Announcement when it finally hits the full senate and then on to the house. Wanted to remind everybody that this is the month that were having many meetings.

The Program Progress then we look at it. But that would be my concern. I would look at this as a beginning of what i hope would be a very fruitful relationship between the two bodies. I do work at daas as well as muni so try to help out. The paratransit and transportation of the disabled is a very big issue and i think it probably is the one we need to look at next to see how we can do it and then talk to folks about the Adult Day Health care centers, how long people are in the centers, more than two hours. By state law its supposed to be an hour, hour and a half at the most. Thats very hard to people. I would be very eager, my fellow commissioners and staff, to look at ways we can better serve the people you serve and we all serve. First off, emmett and tom, thank you for taking the time to come in.
