We love the Police Department but we cant reline on them because its not a sustainable model and we are just excited about the collaborative spirit coming together around this new opening of the park.

We do about a Million Dollars in care in the neighborhoods and thats cash out of pocket hard cost. In light of that, we began a project called the Tenderloin Health Improvement Partnership and sparing you a bunch of boring details, we identified one of our health zones which we are focusing time and pension on in the area around boeddeker.

This is a work in progress. I would also like to say, there will be challenges in the park and my hope is that as its moving forward that we continue to talk about some of the things we are going to need in the park and ke

I very much look forward to moving beyond it, and i do so without ill will toward anyone. I am excited about what the future holds for me as i embark on the next chapter. We went into the ballpark here and we had a very brief quote from coach bruce bochy he said essentially that he was happy for beary and he wished him well. Vic lee, abc 7 news.
