Glad youre here and appearing before this committee today to discuss your departments fiscal 2018 budget request. As you know, the budget is significantly challenged in terms of the cuts in your department. I think the proposed cuts of 2. 3 billion are about onefifth of the departments operating level. Certainly while i appreciate and many of us appreciate the departments prioritizing limited resources and making decisions to realign programs, the fundamental question is really what you choose to cut and whether you can possibly look at that number and make an argument as to why that much of your previous budget should be cut this year. Its not the first time these kinds of cuts have come in the department. Last year president obama proposed about the same level of cuts, though he proposed somehow these programs would lean heavily on new mandatory spending for the budget caps in the law then. Of course, those budget caps are in the law still. Instead of making difficult decisions, it w

Disabilities with the Developmental Disabilities for the arc of San Francisco. And we have made a big difference. And i have seen a lot of success. But, regardless we are very lucky in the city right now, because we have had the people calling us and so in my career i have worked for that and i feel so great that finally, the word has gotten out and we placed the people successfully and we have the people recently at facebook and twitter, and fitbit, and sales force employs 20 of our clients and we have a niche in the Office Services support area and we continue to get calls, and so we are very, very happy and but for most of my career it has been really hard and it is really many years that we have not made that many placements and it is a tough, it is a tough thing. And so, i think that one of the key things that we talked about today is education, and it is about the fear people have, and the unknown, that the people have not worked with our clients before.

I guess that would be a good example. At this point, it would be through, either through our website, which is not necessarily the ones that are posted would not be designated rule 115 at this point. And so, if a Department Designates a rule 115, position, and then, i think that we need to iron out the process but my thought is that we would reach out to, you know, the Mayors Office of disability and the other partner to let them know that there is a rule 115 right and i am hoping that maybe in the future, there will be more like what you just said about t
