Racial injustice. Here in Congress Democrats sought to turn anger and frustration and sometimes despair in ourl country. Real and meaningful action. Democrats wish to seize the moment in three weeks ago democrats announced to build and finally bring strong comprehensive and lasting change to Police Department across america. Injustice and policing act led by senators booker and harris. The house of representatives, will pass that bill this week. But here in the senate, we have a much different story. Senate republicans responded to our comprehensive legislation that proposes the belt that is so much weaker innd nearly every single count. And worse still, is completely silent on so many issues that screen out for action. Should Police Officers be held to greater accounts and they violated americans constitutional rights. The republican bill is silent. He should Police Departments continue to have easy access to military equipment and the republicans had silent spring should Police Depar
Rent, why dont they forego their salaries and house the tenants, instead of making some landlord, old people like me, suffer the burden . Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. We have 83 listeners and nine in queue. Next speaker, please. Youll have two minutes to speak. Hello, caller . Next speaker, please . Hello . Clerk oh, hi. Hello. You have two minutes to speak. Hello, caller . Hello . Clerk you have two minutes to speak for Public Comment, maam. Next speaker, please. Can you hear me . Can you hear me . Clerk yes. Im the owner of a rental in San Francisco. I am the first generation who squirrelled away funds for a down payment. I made sure i upheld all of my objections, and i make sure that im up to date on all the rentals and maintain the building in the standard that i would live in, which is a high standard, by the way. When the moratorium on evictions passed, i made sure that i didnt put anyone in a bad way, on account of a tenant not paying their rent. This deferral,
Not paying their rent. This deferral, by the way, did not require any auditable proof or documentation to verify the tenant actually had a need. The tenant was not required to claim their need under penalty of perjury. For these people, this is a freebie, a no brainer. Its an openended delay or forgiveness of rent. As long as im paying all the bills and personally putting in all the efforts to maintain and carry the building, i should have a say in whether i forgive or delay rent payments. Let me work it out with the tenant if they should need more time to pay their back rent, as i have done in the past. This ordinance is beyond an overreach. I cant imagine how this ordinance has any legal basis to pass, but at a minimum, you should put in that they are required to put in a reasonable for deferred rent under penalty of perjury and make it a definable time limit. I respectfully ask that you vote know as 200375, and for the commenter who called landlords grubby owners, we provide a servi
That they have no control over. I strongly encourage you to pass this bill, and thats it. Thank you so much. Clerk thank you. Next caller, please. Youll have two minutes. Hello, caller . Hello, caller . Next speaker, please. Hello, caller . Hello . Clerk hi. You have two minutes to speak. Hello. I am a resident of San Francisco living in district 1 examine would like to express and would like to express my full support of this ordinance. The opposition to this ordinance from landlords we have heard who supposedly oppose eviction demonstrate their lack of integrity to hold their fellow Property Owners accountable to value human life over the finances. I want to make it absolutely clear, the potential life or death situation for these disadvantaged communities is in no way similar to the financial discomfort to the several landlords that we have heard from. Housing is a human right, and i urge you to support this ordinance. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, plea
People from a Broad Spectrum of political backgrounds in the progressive era believed were important. They believed they were not incompatible but you can see some ways in which they were fundamentally adding tension. Throughout class today, think about democracy versus efficiency. So the central question for historians of the early 20th century is, what is progressivism . A famous article that came out in 1982 was entitled in search of progressivism which aptly summed up the way historians were rummaging around knowing that this era existed but quivering about what counted as progressivism. When it ended, when it started, who counted in it . Some people limit only to the Political Party it was named for. Others to find it much more broadly. So for me in this class, this is how i will define progressivism. And the broadest sense, it was the way a whole generation of americans defined themselves politically and how they addressed the problems of the new century and what i think we can a
