So lets choose prioritizing our community and creating a budget that reflects our values. Thank you so much. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker please. Caller hi. Can you hear me . Yes, we can. Please begin. Caller my name is jennifer and i live in district six and am a Health Care Work and a medical assistant at sfg General Hospital and urge to remove funding for the Sheriffs Department and inv
