vaback. they did this under the city saying they would only provide $170,000 in operating expenses. however that station could have stayed open since capital money was used to pay the rent there. in our view first of all if you look for san francisco comments on the internet, go to google and look for it, you can t find it. what you find is vaback. so this operation, they say they are highly skilled in video and internet cannot even have a side out you can find on google. san francisco comments after them being in charge of the operation for many months. i find that questionable. since they have many experts on use of video and telecommunications, why can t you find san francisco comments? it s my view in fact they are not interested in making the shows accessible and aware, making people aware of those shows. for example, if you go to find our show or upcoming show will be august 13, if you go to the site, go search through their site, you look for it, you go to augu ....

i think the commission is on its way to dealing with relevant issues of importance to the veterans of this city. some of which have been mentioned before. one of which is employment of course, and the high unemployment rate amongst returning veterans. major alfidi probably won t be thrilled that i m bringing this up, but in our private conversations he told me that he, too, faced some discrimination when he returned from iraq to look for a job, which he was well qualified in in the field of finance and investment opportunity. and he was turned down by a number of corporations in the city of san francisco and in the bay area and with all his qualifications and all we talk about support the veteran and thank you for your service and all that, and yet even in this high collar white collar, high level job he was discriminated against basically on the fear of this posttraumatic stress syndrome. and this happens over and over again. it s an area that the veterans affairs ....

fact, vaback violated the ordinance, had not provided documentation. i don t think that bodes well for giving them another $375,000. one of the things about the studio, the big studio, they spent $695,000, including capital money, to shut down the station which was built at a cost of $1 millionle to move to vaback. they did this under the city saying they would only provide $170,000 in operating expenses. however that station could have stayed open since capital money was used to pay the rent there. in our view first of all if you look for san francisco comments on the internet, go to google and look for it, you can t find it. what you find is vaback. so this operation, they say they are highly skilled in video and internet cannot even have a side out you can find on google. san francisco comments after them being in charge of the operation for many months. i find that questionable. since they have many experts on use of video and telecommunications, why can t you find ....
