Board for 12 years. In his collective 10 year at both Daly City City Council and county board of supervisors he served on a variety of regional agencies, mtc, caltrain, bay Area Management district you name it, he probably served on it. What i got to know him well on was transportation issues. When i had the pleasure of serving at the caltran board where supervisor cohen is now, you of title. I think the title he cared most about was father, grandfather, brother cousin. His family was so absolutely important to him. I read through his obituary, and it reminds me to some extent of how i felt after i wrote and read my fathers own obituary in that its a wonderfulm but it doesnt come close to really saying who this man was. Mike gave his entire life to his brother and sister, both as family, but also when i say that i mean collectively, his entire society. Truly someone who will be missed dearly. His wife of 45 years kathleen his three children, one of whom is a member of our own Police De
Now. Putting a stop to same sex marriages, putting a stop to the decision, this is the rowe v wade decision of the 21st century. Why . Those that feel it is a federal constitutional right to marry, as many say it is your federal right to choose, left to the state to determine whether gay people have the right to marry. It is that old tension we have between federal and state rights. Sonia sotomayor, is it just the luck of the draw . Federal justices divvy up the districts, this is a procedural decision shes made. They just stayed the law and the judge has made the decision in the state of utah. And she said everybody hold on while this appeal proceeds. The law will remain as it is in the state of utah. They havent decided anything substantively in the u. S. Supreme court, although i predict they will. What happens to them . Those people are essentially in limbo. So theyre not married . Well thats the question. Are they married as a constitutional matter or not . And thats the problem w

Secondly, if we could, on behalf of the entire board of supervisors id ask if we could adjourn todays meeting in memory of former san matillo county supervisor mike nevin.

In his collective 10 year at both Daly City City Council and county board of supervisors he served on a variety of regional agencies, mtc, caltrain, bay Area Management district you name it, he
Much more beyond being an elected office having some sort of title. I think the title he cared most about was father, grandfather, brother cousin. His family was so absolutely important to him. I read through his obituary, and it reminds me to some extent of how i felt after i wrote and read my fathers own obituary in that its a wonderfulm but it doesnt come close to really saying who this man was. Mike gave his entire life to his brother and sister, both as family, but also when i say that i mean collectively, his entire society. Truly someone who will be missed dearly. His wife of 45 years kathleen his three children, one of whom is a member of our own Police Department lt. Mike nevin. A great man who leaves a great legacy, not just in San Mateo County but throughout the region. I know i can say it on behalf of everyone here, his family is. Lnk sent our deepest condolences. President condolences if we could president chiu if we could adjourn as a board for mike nevin and kay gulbenga
When al gore lost in 2000, lost the Electoral College vote he is the one who started saying that he lost because of his support and bill clintons support for gun control measures including the assault weapons ban. Other democrats began to say the same thing. Well, that gave the nr afar more power than deserved. I didnt believe it was true then and i dont believe. West virginia, kentucky, tennessee thats where he was finding his problems, right . Where republicans win anyway. The people who vote for republicans.

Kentucky senator rand paul wants to run for president is concerned the president has a king complex. And paul is out there vowing to nullify any executive orders that impede on congressional
