Is going after what voters know. And as was said, the Supreme Court within the bounds of Citizens United said transparency and disclosure, fine. I have a few examples. This was a district 6 mailer, and the video at the bottom of an internet mailer ad, paid for by a committee, clean and sunset. Major funding by progress San Francisco. And the district 6 version said paid for by san franciscans for change, major funding by progress San Francisco. I think all of us in this room know who are behind that committee, but most regular people would have no reason to know. Two big things. Number one, it will require the dollar amount of the donors to be listed, so that voters get more than a name and an actual piece of data that they can use to say to ask if they wish, whos really behind this and whats their agenda. And more importantly, it pierces the shell of fake name committees like that by requiring that progress San Francisco in this example, the top two donors to that committee would also
Again, were trying to give voters information and ensuring they really know whos behind the Shell Committee and how much they gave. Only other thing ill say on that component and ill get to the last one is some may ask, well, arent the clever election lawyers going to find some other way to hide, and im sure they will. And to that i would say, were going to do that the same way you would eat an elephant, one bite at a time. And i think this will become the strongest in the country and a model for other cities. So at the end, i want to submit some materials, and supervisor mar has the same if you wish to share, is the paytoplay division, which prohibits not just the developer, which is already prohibited, but the top executives associated with that developer from giving to any city official running for the board of supervisors, mayor, or City Attorney or sitting in those offices for the entire time that the measure is pending or for 12 months its approved or after its done. We tried to
So what were really doing here is going after what voters know. And as was said, the Supreme Court within the bounds of Citizens United said transparency and disclosure, fine. I have a few examples.

Take part in local music and things like that. It is ran by an Incredible Team of women. I want to make sure that is given its a voice here. I support this legislation, as well. Next speaker, please. If there any more speakers, if you would line up behind this gentleman. This is a good proposal, and i agree with it. I wish you wouldve had it during the younger years when i was in fillmore.
