00:00:01.140 - 00:00:17.100

uh well maybe for too many years they've had their way and that's probably the greatest argument to vote for it either. You need try to reform? Well, you don't, once you need it then the state law says how it should be done. The Chamber of Commerce

00:00:17.100 - 00:00:30.750

doesn't dictate how it should be done. You don't think it would be a more efficient method to have the commission appointed by the supervisors and by the mayor then it becomes a political football. And I think that's what we must avoid. We must avoid making we

00:00:30.750 - 00:00:43.380

tried that in the 60's 69 and it didn't work because you have to have two of these, two of them and three of these it becomes a political football. And I think we should leave it up to the people. I think when people look at the

00:00:43.380 - 00:01:00.300

charter, look at the way the city government functions. The natural extension is is to change it. The charter was written 40 some odd years ago for a condition that existed at that time, corruption in a small city. Subsequent to that, we have a city now of

00:01:00.320 - 00:01:17.970

probably a million people during the day. We have some very chaotic situations. We need some strong decisions and we need strong leadership positions. We don't need a for example, a two headed executive department that even those two people, the ceo and the mayor have no control

00:01:17.970 - 00:01:37.370

over the commission's. It's been amended over 500 times. Nobody understands it. It it makes very inefficient government, it makes for a cost of government is to say I do not trust the people of SAn Francisco in their wisdom. Okay, thank you. Most of the amendments to

00:01:37.370 - 00:01:56.950

the charter should be ordinances. Why should the people really vote on who's gonna get this healthcare and that healthcare? It's turning over to the city town hall government being inside influential people like if we appointed it, I would appoint my person, you know, and that would

00:01:56.950 - 00:02:08.460

be my voice there and I think that's wrong. Greg would put the chamber where the point that people like to appoint the governance, I'm sure they would. Oh.
