Well talk about more about that, coming up in your accuweather forecast. Back to you guys in that nice, dry studio. The winds may have been a factor when trees came crashing down on two homes. Reporter good afternoon, were on fulton street. You can see that damage there behind me. The Insurance Companies have been called, and the homeowners at the meal that the city of east orange has them on a priority one list to get all of this damage cleared up amend they also tell me, theyre always concerned when the winds are high. It sounded like an earthquake. Reporter the homeowners say the winds were at their most wicked when this huge tree came down. It was unbelievable. The whole house was shaking.

Few comments. Generally when we pass the annual budget in our city we want to give the voters that, in fact, it the budget. That is very important. When this appropriation was before the Committee Last week supervisor i share his concerns and i regard such requests with suspicion. There is a highlevel of accountability in plays. I want to know what oversight will be put into view to see that the funds are used wisely. The case from the attorneys and the support staff prosecuting violence in this city are are you able so long as they stay hi high. Those kinds loads are we hope short time. I think the peculiar the finance committee did in making the changes necessary to appropriate the amount to the District Attorneys Office during the budget and finance committee was priority because based on the need what was being recommended to us is appropriate. As well as the information that is of the appropriation going to the status of women was carefully vetted and discussed and i am comfortabl
And i am comfortable in moving this item forward and looking forward to moving another project forward that talks about the additional appropriation and i wait for this this to be returned to the board and supervisor yee thank you.

I meet many women and children that are swaip violence and theyre in a single room and, of course, our homeless shelter system. Im also very supportive of having that situation and talking about what the appropriate budget process is in june. So that we know that money were putting forward is going toward a broader goal spiefr wiener. Thank you mr. President. I support the supplemental and im speaking because actually, i dont wag the cut that was made by the Budget Committee i think its a mistake. I am glad were helping victims of Domestic Violence and i dont disagree in any way before but the fact is our District Attorneys Office is understaffed in many ways in which this is a crushing caseload. And while that is very important for your us to support the victims of Domestic Violence its also important to send the message that people who com
