Blocking with misinformation with red herrings, with arguments that dont add up, arguments that arent consistent with the work that the puc staff has made and that the puc commissions have approved in the past. The puc commissioners say they would not support a shell contract moving forward, but they already have. And, so, i just think its important to be able to point that out. I how we move forward in the program when the politics are getting in the way, i think calling out the politics when y...

Animals in need. In addition, the department has very few enforcement officers who are able to go out into the field. Whether to respond to claims of mistreatment or neglected animals or to deal with potentially aggressive animals.

Animal care control has few resources, but its really not possible for their agency to stay on top of those complaints and do an effective job mon...

At long last, george shows up and the fractured city hall backdrop begins to fill with floating lights outlining the Golden Gate Bridge and we hear tony bennett sing his legendary recording of i left my heart in San Francisco. And then the character of george, sometimes mouthing the words, sometimes singing them quietly, moves towards john without looking, for he cannot look at his son. And he touches johns heart and then he moves away towards the city hall of johns memory and john set the stair...

Dramatically imperfect teeth, i saw on the pedestal so many things that i didnt know were there. I saw the names of my brothers and sister inside a heart, my dads favorite movie, quotes by him how much he considered being mayor, honor bestowed on him, and the things made possible for people who didnt have power, who didnt have voice, there was so much more on that pedestal than death.

[laughter] in fact, as i am happy to see so many people here as i do, as the comedian paula said, even if you werent here, id still be up here talking. But despite my tendencies towards reliving the admonishment of my fifth grade teacher sister grace who chastised me for having diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of ideas,...

Going to the sf moment to check out the infamous bust of my dad and all i could remember growing up were the images of that controversial pedestal of gunshots and twinkies and dont think i didnt smile when i heard hostess went under. [laughter] applause but when i went to see the bust for that first time, a bust that i have to admit captured georges mile wide grin and dramatically imperfect teeth, i saw on the pedestal so many things that i didnt know were there. I saw the names of my brothers a...

Georges mile wide grin and dramatically imperfect teeth, i saw on the pedestal so many things that i didnt know were there. I saw the names of my brothers and sister inside a heart, my dads favorite movie, quotes by him how much he considered being mayor, honor bestowed on him, and the things made possible for people who didnt have power, who didnt have voice, there was so much more on that pedestal than death. And, so, i think its time to reclaim George Moscone from the narcissistic legacy or t...
