Going back and forth, there will be plexiglass tonight and social distancing tonight. We have more from what we can expect from utah. Were hours away from the first and only president ial debate. It will be an exciting night and one highly and faced. During a election year, it wouldnt draw a big audience. This year, all eyes are on Vice President mike pence and senator Kamala Harris. The president has covid19 and joe biden is 77 years old. Topics could include the economy, health care and the supreme court. A big focus will be on covid 19. Not only will the stage be different with plexiglass and 12 feet of space between the two. The pressure is on for the Vice President mike pence will have to talk about the handling of the pandemic. He will put harris in the hot seat too. He could push her on changing her stance on the green new deal. He may try to separate her from joe biden. Dont expect this to be as chaotic as the first debate. He said given the temperament it will be different. Mi

Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Caller good afternoon, supervisors. I am calling the members of the coalition. And im urging the supervisors to move forward with the b. L. A. Recommendations. And to establish a public bank. The b. L. A. Knows that san franciscans are in crisis. And the local institutions flood a public bank need a public bank that could be accountable to our community. And i ca can direct money to resources that are needed right now.
