Yasmin vossoughian were going to begin first with what is now a tropical depression sally the storm made landfall yesterday morning as a category 2. More than 2 million lost power due to strong winds. Major devastation there. Water flooded the streets. The National Guard has been called in to assist with Recovery Efforts late last night the National Hurricane center said it was causing torrential rains i want to go to bill karins whos tracking the continuation of the storm bill, good morning to you. As we have talked about in the past, just because we have a Tropical Storm, it doesnt mean as its moving inland, it can cause major damage we saw yesterday how painfully slow this storm is moving. Painfully there was a ton of rain, water everywhere water rescues were taking place all day yesterday in southern alabama. Roads were washed out. Now were going to continue into the carolinas today. Its not going to be as bad, but there will be areas that will have to deal with high water and prob
And studies show that big soda is largely to blame. As a father, i know our families need help when they live in environments saturated with sugary drinks that are aggressively marketed everywhere children and families turn, like billboards on top of peoples houses in the bayview or on our buses, or saturday morning tv. As a san franciscan, i also share our collective desire to make San Francisco more livable for families and to continue to be a city that sends stands strong in protecting the Publics Health and allows all of our neighborhoods to thrive. As a local legislator and a law maker like the left of us, i also believe that nothing we do is more important than protecting our Childrens Health and the Publics Health. Were lucky, as i mentioned, that we have strong coalitions for Health Equity and food access in our neighborhoods, especially in the bayview and the tenderloin. But its growing in many other neighborhoods, too. And theyve been building alliances with doctors, Health E
Folks that have helped to make this a reality. Id like to take a moment just to thank a few of the organizations that have helped us along the way. All of us or none, legal serve is he for prisoners with children, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights National power, coalition on homelessness, hospitality house, coleman advocates, chamber of commerce and Small Business commission, and also there are a litany of neighborhood folks that helped gather signatures for us to continue to move this forward. And i hope that you will join supervisor kim and i in voting favorably for this legislation. Mr. Chair, the rest i give back to supervisor kim. Supervisor kim. Thank you, supervisor cohen and president chiu. Its always important to put a face behind legislation. And todays legislation is for these very individuals.

Face behind legislation. And todays legislation is for these very individuals. The fair chance act is for an individual named don he will who was fired from his janitorial job whos was fired for failing to tell about a 1974 arrest for transpesting. The fair chance act is for a woman named sandee who won the lottery at nema across the street, but was disqualified because she failed to pay Child Support in the late 1990s, even though she served time for that failure. The fair chance act is for denise who was told she shouldnt bother to apply for a job as a cook because she had a conviction for shop lifting when she was in high school. As supervisor cohen mentioned, for one in four adults in the united states, an arrest or conviction record is a stigma that means you need not apply.
