We have supervisor stephanie who is here. Make your opening remarks. Thank you, chair haney. Before you today is an ordinance to waive business license and Registration Fees for businesses closed by the city because of the coronavirus pandemic. As we are painfully aware Small Businesses have closed or had their operations severely limited so we can stop the spread of covid19 in San Francisco. We know those precautions saved lives. San francisco continues to have the best covid Health Outcomes of any major city in the country and most notably the death rate the lowest in the nation. That did not happen by accident. It was due to work and sacrifice from the people who live in the city and did not come without a severe cost of its own.

The people who make up the backbone of our local economy how this has affected them. During that h

Welcome to brookings. My name is ron haskins, im the codirector along with Richard Reeves of the center on children and family serving brookings. Today we are releasing the 29th volume of the future of children. When i read that and we added these up, i almost died of exhaustion. It takes a lot to put these volumes up weve been doing this 10 or 11 years. This is the 27th policy brief. We have produced a lot of work.
