the city and county of san francisco >> mr. murphy. >> sure so one of the troubling points of prop a there's a catch all in the amendment that the contributions of the employee and accident planned contribution by the city are insufficient to meet the requirements of the truth you fund the city is on the hook for the balance. which means in practical terms we have to cut from somewhere else or raise taxes. and the picture of retiree health care where we can fund health care on 3 percent of people's annual salaries is a little bit rosy. it's not something we can really bet on with health care costs and benefit costs rising at the, you know, 3 and 44 percent. salaries rising at 3 and 4 percent rather. its far greater than the pace of inflation and greater than the contributions >> so we have a little bit of time level overview left are supervisor farrell when i started working on prop a it was important in san francisco. i made sure we assaulted with our labor and all communities. i'm proud to say we have the support of every mem

there are other cities in the financialhave similar challenges as the city of detroit. yet there has been no emergency manager put there. can you imagine if any governor -- take a southern state like alabama, mississippi, or georgia -- would have the nerve to go the a city that was at heart of the civil rights movement and disenfranchised the population? be up inhat we would arms as a nation and we would be highly offended, as well we should be. it is a question of democracy. that hasis no question what has been happening in the state is disproportionately affecting the african -- african-american voters. i'm not going to be able to pretend to read inside the governor's motives. you have to look at the effect. the effect is disturbing. the people are feeling the complete failure of the emergency managers in their history. park, look at highland then threw it over and over. when you disenfranchise the local voters, there is no evidence that the emergency manager has made it any better. my objection is two-fold. there was no evidence it works and you are disenfranchising

i think the city of -- the people of the city toward want to be respected. we've had attacks on the city predominate coming out of lansing with the people of this community believe that they've been under attack. lansing took away revenue sharing. lansing took away residency. lansing took away the mayor's office, away the school system. detroiters are very proud people so i don't think that isolationist until. they just want to be respected. the second thing relates to folks in other commuters. yes, i had an opportunity to meet with the mayor in atlanta just a few months ago. atlanta was a city very much like detroit at one time. it was predominantly poor, a lot of african-american population and high unemployment, education challenges and crime, and i had a long, long conversation with them. they are doing it right in atlanta. i think there are some things we can emulate here in detroit. duggandetroit. >> moderator: let's get your next question. senior editor of the michigan chronicle was writing a book about detroit as we speak. >> thank you very much for

you take the city's side every single time. only one time, have you ever taken an action and that was to recommend to the mayor that the president of the library commission be removed. and he ignored you. and so i guess that i can't blame you either, would i not want to take the action if i knew that the only thing that i would get is somebody saying that i am not going to do it. and you don't have any power and you don't have any control, people say that the sunshine task force does not and i will give them this, at least, listen to the citizens of this city and when they find a good case, they will issue a violation and i have 19 of them myself and just try to get them enforced. and you can catch people in a blatant lie and you know the most interesting thing about it, they never have the courage to show up and explain their own actions. and they send some city employees who does not really know what is going on say, here you go on and you defend this illegal action. and poor sue black man at the library commission, the secre
