choices even when they don't fit in that vein i'm really saying this to the four new members of the board i note that i was the only member of this body to vote definition the budget last year the first time i ever voted against a budget and 9 times 1r0e79 for a budget i don't feel we were balancing it responsibly and i believe in prioritizing the critical needs and planning for the future i believe in identifying the progressive revenue that will not disproportionately impact the most vulnerable i don't believe in burdening the taxpayers with regressive takes when we've not balanced our load in the chambers i don't believe building in labeling the business molding quote/unquote

showing when their raking in major profit and hoping that problem will not community-based away and tax breaks for corporations are good public policies taxpayers deserve their tax before they decide on funding for emerging needs, however, preying that need may be i've learned none trusts a government that designed a budget that places all the budget skadz on the public as i said voters elected us to do a tough job i pledge even when easier to punt i will continue to work for the progressive and democratic principles of petitions and justice the rule of law yes checks and balances and power and respect for all people and groups holding different views with the gift of

as supervisor because of the support i always seem to get and receive from my family it was my brother nelson that said to me yesterday when we asked his band to 2k5ek9 a song to his family and it is a song by the sly and the family stones no it is not but the name is we are family but thank you nelson i want to acknowledge that my two sisters are here today vicky and more and more remand they made 2 possible to make me a good adult as a kid i never got into too much trouble they didn't were successful but i was

- got me through my childhood thank you very much and i also not last but certainly my immediate family are the most important to me at this point of my life they've given me permission to seek office this is my fourth time i've been successful in running and twice on the school board and twice as a supervisor it is only made possible because they gave and said to me go for it and serve the community as most of my adult life this was four years ago and same thing those are my wonderful, wonderful two daughters of me and. >> (clapping.) >> my wife of many decades

kathy. >> (clapping.) >> well something new four years ago i couldn't say that will you for years later i have two doubled our size of the family now two sons james and dan and oh, my goodness now i have two new grandchildren from the end of the last year and one of them is here he was asleep through everybody's speech when we heard any voice he woke up this jamison. >> i want to make sure my granddaughter you kouth couldn't come she's a little bit more you know she were able to speak

she'll tell supervisor peskin hurry up but prove i have two grandkids. >> (clapping.) >> since the beginning of the first term my family as grown i've said that already and basically, the - when i been what i focused on four years ago it about family and children that's the lens i've always looked through when i have to consider policies and legislation in this chamber. >> so it is not any surprises that by the way, one thing that people didn't point out here is that this is a majority majority

parents member board. >> we have more parents here than we've seen on the board ever so congratulations we'll drive it; right? parents family thing so it's not my surprise to anyone i'll fight to welcome families in san francisco we need to do better, we keep on seeing the families are children leave the city we need to reverse that trend we did that in the first four years we looked at our children and formed the mayor and superintendent being the co-chair of our family and city council to look at how we want our children to be treated and highway to make our families successful in san francisco we need to continue that some of the things oozed mentioned that is really important for me is as

we talk about affordable housing for people we need to inner fuss the discussion how we have affordable housing for families with children that is something that is beginning we need to do better on that we have no policies around that issue we need to create policy so that we actually make it real and improve the services so for the public schools to make sure i'm not talking about k through 12 only but pre k we need in support of education of our residents to make sure that we have a workforce that will continue to make our city successful we also one of the things that is really missing we're beginning to address this is the issue about early education we are doing well when it comes to preschool around 3 to
