fear in our city and all over this country. what a true leader does is fight the root cause issues that make our city and our country less safe. let's talk about what those real issues are. they are poverty, they are an education system that is starved for resources. there is severe inequality and then let's talk about the easy access to guns all throughout this country. if you want to protect the public safety then let's work on the real issues impacting all of our public safety. let's not demonize a group that contributes so much to the city of san francisco. thank you so much. >> [applause] >> thank you. we are actually going to give the last word to the other mayor candidate who was able to make it. we want to thank her for being here. you have the last word, supervisor jane kim. >> thank you so much, chair compos. we are in the committee of land use where we are interrogating our neighbor over falsified information. fairly extraordinary. i also want to be here today to stand with our immigrant community and all of our resi

if you go in this direction, you will get to that city river. those who lived in precolonial times, and the french colonials arriving in 1689, the problem was how to connect these bodies, the gulf on one side, and mississippi to the north american hinterland on the other. this byaou allowed french explorers to circumvent the muddy mouth of the mississippi river, and instead come true chartrain and take a two to thertage route mississippi river. for that reason, new orleans was established as the french quarter. as you come over this overpass, you will see bayou st. john. if you draw a line from this body of water to the high-rises, that marks that two miles portage trail. butas going through swamps, this trail was just a couple feet above the swamp lands, and that made it dry terrestrial portage. we are going to follow bayou st. john more closely, making a right. after the founding of the city, the was an early plantation region. dairy, ask farms and well as larger commodity plantations. we have examples of colonial era plantation houses here. i

and above, usually the folks that are bidding on the projects in this city, contracts in this city, that are about 5 million or more, they're almost 100% sigtory with the trades. i think this talk about threshold and excluding l.b.e.s, i think in our contracting process -- i would like you to illuminate. there's a threshold with which we see 100% of the folks that are signatory with our local building trades. can you talk about that a little bit? >> supervisor naomi kelly. let me take the first question you asked about explaining the local business enterprise ordinance quickly in a nutshell. it has evolved as prop 209 was enacted and minority and women owned business ordinance and is now our local enterprise ordinance. we buy many different types of product services in construction from the city, but when it comes to construction, contracting a small local business can be certified to do contracting if they have an average gross receipt of $20 million over three years. and then in construction, per state law, you bid on these contracts, and the lowest bid wins the award. since then,

or divest my george ninety nine percent of the people in this city just want to live normal quiet lives. and there's just a little a little few of them that are doing the rapes that are doing the shootings and we are tired of it it seems that you are targeting a particular school for example your targets. refugees are the targets in my field so it might seem so old and yes. that is where it all started from. but what we do petros even if we. if we are. doing heart. breaking. terrorist. take action doesn't matter where he's from doesn't matter if. we don't do any crime. you could find a star family for me you know. i wonder. if me yet but the cops are coming. we're not against must once we're not the gays. we're not against serbia's against. one of you know. the guy we're told that we can do this to. say yeah. basically the employer. as you noticed first next to us through this it was we were discussing. then he has this out because. he's a migrant himself as i was explaining before we've become. a citizen of countries. whose days of. swedes think racism will increase in the country. rig
