The question before you isnt whether these documents can be ordered disclosed, it is whether these officials have committed a violation of the ordinance. And that is itself, wrapped up into this analysis and im sorry i cant help you any further. I hope that does something to help. Thanks. Commissioners, ray heart, San Francisco, open government, now that this Ethics Committee is Holding Meetings on sfgtv in full view of the public it becomes more apparent how much of an enabler this body has bee...

If the correspondence revealed that, you would not disclose that. Absolutely. And there may be other information too. I mean we are speaking abstractly, so i. You know i am doing the best that i can. I think that yes, absolutely, the identity of anyone that the Controllers Office was adjudicating, like inaudible during the course of the investigation inaudible protected confidential. I am trying to understand what kind of information could be in the file that if we asked the Controllers Office a...

Alice and so those of you on the commission who are here i note that there are only three. You know me, my name is paul curior and i am passionate about open government and i am passionate about things being done by the book. And when you have people like the District Attorney and the mayor who are committed wholesale felonies, i really need they need to be prosecuted. And i dont know if this is the forum for that.
