Mayors Office Housing director in olson lee regarding midtown apartments in district five. I know there are a number of residents to give public testimony with regard to their concerns about midtown. I know recent changes between the leads with the midtown Park Corporation and the city has brought a lot of uncertainty to the residents. I want to ensure everyone that this change does not impact the town residents. Their leases are not terminated. Im very committed to the five principles that the board of supervisors passed in 2007. Number one, no displacement. Number two, long term affordability. Number three, tenant involvement. Number four, ensure a safe, sanitary and decent housing. And number five, explore alternative ownership structures. Colleagues, the city and county of San Francisco have failed to ensure safe and sanitary and decent housing for the midtown residents. The termination of the lease between midtown Parks Corporation and the city has no impact on the resident leases
Country, that transgender youth are not important. And i think that with a case like this its really critical for San Francisco and the city and county of San Francisco to take a very clear stand, demanding justice for julie. Taking a very clear stand that we want the district attorney, who ultimately has the discretion to decide whether or not to prosecute julie for simply defending herself, that the charges against this young woman be dropped. Charging julie is not only a travesty of justice, but it will deepen the wounds and harms all sides. It actually stigmatizes and bullies her a second time. What kind of message are we sending to our young transgender men and women that not only will we protect them not protect them when they report the harassment, but when they try to defend themselves, we will not go after the perpetrators, but criminal ize them. I want to thank the supervisors who have supported this. I really think its important for us to send a very clear message and, you k
Shows julie trying to run away. It so happens that the girls involved were suspended, but low and behold, the da in this case, Law Enforcement has decided that of the students involved that julie, who has been the tar get of the abuse, will be charged with battery. All the other students were suspended, but no other student will be charged. Its really a case that illustrates the travesty that the challenges that young transgender men and women face in our society. In a recent survey it was shown that almost 90 percent of transgender youth report having been harassed at school in this country. And those that have been harassed, that a staggering 51 percent of them attempt suicide. I believe that the prosecution of julie is sending a very loud message to not only that community at that school, but to the entire community, not just in the bay area in california, but in the entire country, that transgender youth are not important. And i think that with a case like this its really critical
Identity theft reported as a result of the web site and ongoing. And of course hire copays, higher deductibles, more money out of patients pockets. Well, there was a new report out last week that brings this additionally to the fore in terms of concerns that people are having, and its even from people that supported the Health Care Law originally. There was a report out last week by a major labor union talking about how bad this Health Care Law is hurting its members. To put this into perspective, mr. President , this is a labor union that actually supported thensenator obama and endorsed him when he was running for president a number of years ago. And they supported the Health Care Law. And now its come out with this union has come out with a report that says the laws unintended consequence will hit the average hardworking american where it hurts. In the wallet. You actually go through this report called the irony of obamacare making inequality worse, just to read, it says the a. C. A
