Have the ability to make appointments for. Or if you decide to run for Public Office. You know, when i decided to run for supervisor, i wanted to be a good supervisor for the people of the district i represent, where i grew up in. And so that entailed making sure i knew how to do policy and legislation and i understand how the process worked and the city worked. And the good news id been on commissions and other places. So i understood it. But i actually went back to school late in life, before i ran, to get my masters in public administration. And i ended up graduating from u. S. F. With honors, because i was committed to making sure that i was the best policymaker for the people that i represented. And im not suggesting that you do that.

And unfortunately in the world of politics, and in the world of public service, it also comes

Crackdown on those individuals speeding and breaking the law and doing things that could create these kinds of accidents. No one wants to see the accidents on the side of the road, no one wants to experience going to a crime scene on the road knowing your loved one has been hit by a car or sadly tragically killed. I remember years ago on turk street and laguna, when a lot of us were hanging out and just kind of enjoying the weather, it was a really nice hot time, like in the fall and my god son was crossing the street on turk at the intersection of turk and buchanan where theres no stoplight and he was hit by a car. We watched as you flew in the air and thought oh my god, oh my god, just to see it, and had no control over what was going to happen was devastating. And luckily he had minor injuries, luckily he survived, and i just really felt strongly, we have to do better as a city. We have to do better with the vehicles that are speeding on our streets. We have to do better with our in

The partnership we talk about between the mta, city government, board of supervisors, Fire Department, the department of Public Health, it really is a team effort to realize the vision of zero fatalities. I remind you, look at where we were and where we are. This vision will be a reality, it will be a reality and well Work Together to make that happen. I thank you for your time. Families thank you for being here and remember, vision zero is about all of us. Thank you. applause thank you chief. The chief made reference that back in 2013 it s
Well, all right. Actually noted. Real quick. For next year rates and benefits this is just a pre notice, id like to see him look in to improving the hearing aid situation. I think its archaic that you get one hearing aid every two years and it is possible that as soon as you get a new one your old one dies. Id like to see Something Like three years for two new ones and maybe a co pay back if you have to get another one in between that and half of it a quarter of it would be nice. Hearing aid benefit. Number two, cater aks which i am now experience and i think its also a shame that with our insurance they start out, this is what you get for a cataract operation and now if you have 5,000 more for each eye you get the best. Its so sad that theres something in between our insurance that cant be halfway up to that 5,000 per eye. And then the third one, seeing now were doing so well with delta dental, possibly a twotier dental system i know its a lot to work around, the same as we have a two
