Its vital to remember that the reason we made sure that some of us fought so hard to make sure that neighborhood representatives were on this commission is that that is right of pa process of appointing them was supposed to entail going to those neighborhoods in depth and getting their input on who these appointees should be. For this to be noticed a few days ago at holiday time is very problematic to that process.

Want to do that. Secondly i want to say that not just the other community but Asian Indian Community also supports commissioner king to be reappointed. We think he brings great wisdom and is fair and im delighted personally that he is on the board, on this new commission, the commission on Community Investment and infrastructure, if i got that right. Im also here to support the nomination of mara rosales who i have known since 1985 when she was assistant city attorney. Worked with her when we were trying to bring Asian Indians into the mlp program. Enough has been said about her so im not going to say anything further. I am in support of all the members. Thank you, mr. Sahar, thank you for being here. Madam supervisors, al norman, baby merchants, southeast commission. I am here in support of all of the candidates here this evening.

Supervisor farrell, supervisor avalos, i was on the south of Market Committee for 10 years, during that time at many meetings i would go to the Redevelopment Agency. Theres one person i dont recall ever missing a meeting and that was dar sing.

And the bayview area dealing with the Hunters Point, i believe he is a wellseasoned individual and im sure youve heard plenty of the same thing but im standing before this group to say the sank thing. Good afternoon, supervisors, my nais is chris moscone. Im here to support mara rosales. Ill be brief, everyone has said a mouthful and very he will eloquently, including the nominees. Mara and i have been working together for many years and i think what she brings to this commission will be a plus. She knows a lot about city process, city law, public law.

And thats what we have been missing in the community. We have not been missing representatives but weve been missing some type of tangibles that give the community some type of hope. Right now, like i said before, you have been whistling past the graveyard for so long that the community have not been, the communitys not dead yet. And i say to you watch the decisions that are made and how
