The message is thank you, thank you for pushing the sfmta staff to do more, faster, quicker, else on our most dangerous streets in asking the right questions. Dont stop pushing.

Start re auditing the population, a third of the population at a time. We want to go ahead and work on our rules to be able to do so. The language that we have added, audits may require submission of documentation that substantiates and confirms the dependence relationship, with the employee, or retirees current. Documentation may include, but not limited to current federal tax returns, and other documentation that demonstrates cohabitation or financial interdependency.

It is very common language, and a common ask that may be asked during a potential audit. We also worked with the City Attorneys Office to make sure that the language was good. The other change, for ....

Commitment to addressing this issue as well. Even though weve reached this incredible milestone here in our city, we know that there are still disparities that exist, specifically by race and ethnicity, by age, by gender, and, sadly, by housing status. These disparities highlight the work we have to do to continue to get to zero and really trying to remove the barriers, the stigma, the discrimination, so that we can truly end new infections, which is our ultimate goal. In fact, in 2018, africanamerican men had the highest diagnosis rate. Africanamerican women also had the highest diagnosis rate. Fighting this should be our focus and we are taking steps to do so. This week the department of Public Health will launch a competitive bid process where we will allocate 8 million in additional funding to Community Organizations primarily serving the africanamerican, latino, ....
