And
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
putting
that
that
has
worked
to
put
this
on,
that
they
did
the
work
to
do
this,
and
also
for
everybody
that
decided
to
show
up
this
evening.
Thank
you
and
thanks
to
all
the
candidates
for
participating
in
one
more
forum,
so
I
am
an
Athens
native
I
was
born
here
in
1970,
I
grew
up
on
the
Near
East
Side
I
have
lived
in
three
of
the
four
wards:
I
am
a
Evans
high
school
graduate
and
Ohio
University
graduate
and
a
small
business
owner.
E
I,
have
you
know
20
25
people
in
the
course
of
the
day
that
will
come
through
and
that
engagement
over
the
years
has
given
me
the
perspective
of
what
what
this
community
wants,
and
so
that
allows
me
to
provide
the
oversight,
which
is
what
this
position
really
is.
It's
oversight
you
know,
I
have
my
own,
you
know
ideas
and
thoughts,
and
but
those
get
woven
into
all
the
conversations
that
I've
had
throughout
the
years.
E
F
Hello,
Ellie
Hamrick
I'm,
a
revolutionary
socialist
I'm,
a
member
of
the
Athens
revolutionary
socialists,
I
work
as
a
waiter
and
dishwasher
at
Causton,
wave,
uptown
and
I
rent
an
apartment
on
the
south
side
I'm
here,
because
I'm
really
upset
that
Athens
has
been
the
poorest
in
most
unequal
county
in
Ohio
and
the
eighth
poorest
County
in
the
country.
For
some
time
now,
the
Democrats
have
been
in
power
in
Athens,
at
least
since
george,
w
bush's
first
time
first
term
in
office.
F
So
as
long
as
most
college
freshmen
have
been
alive
and
that
fact
has
not
changed
so
that's
why
I
think
it's
really
important
that
there
are
independent
challengers
running
in
this
election.
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
socialism
means
to
me.
I
think
people
hear
that
word
and
can
have
a
lot
of
different
reactions,
I
think
kind
of
the
common
sense
definition
of
socialism.
F
It's
just
that
the
government
does
stuff
and
that's
very
much,
not
what
I
mean
by
socialism
and
I
want
a
world
in
which
workers
are
in
control
of
our
own
workplaces
or
in
the
communities
or
government.
Our
own
lives,
where
workers
can
make
decisions
based
on
what's
best
for
ourselves,
for
our
families,
for
our
communities
and
for
our
planet
instead
of
every
decision
being
made
based
on
what
will
make
the
most
profit
for
the
1%.
For
me,
socialism
means
real
and
true
and
rich
democracy
of
by
and
for
the
working
class.
F
Those
of
us
who
produce
all
wealth
in
society
should
have
some
say
over
how
that
wealth
is
distributed
and
and
how
the
world
works.
So
that's
why
I'm,
a
socialist
being
a
socialist
also
means
being
feminist.
It
means
being
anti-racist,
Perle
LGBTQ
broke
planet,
anti
border
and
standing
up
for
the
rights
of
all
oppressed
and
Exploited
people.
My
platform
consists
of
four
points.
The
first
is
fighting
for
the
working-class
I
support
a
$15
minimum
wage
here
in
Athens
I've,
also
endorsed
operation,
slumlord
smackdown
and
attempt
to
advance
the
rights
of
tenants.
F
Second
is
standing
against
oppression,
I
believe
that
we
should
have
done
during
cluesive
restrooms,
so
that
trans,
non-binary
and
intersex
people
can
participate
fully
in
our
society.
I
believe
we
need
to
expand
accessible
infrastructure
for
people
with
disabilities.
I
believe
that
non
citizens
who
live
in
Athens
should
have
the
right
to
vote
here
and
that
Athens
should
pledge
an
end
to
cooperation
with
ice
in
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security.
The
third
point
of
my
platform
is
planet
over
profit.
F
Doing
everything
we
can
to
make
this
city
a
leader
in
the
fight
for
environmental
sustainability
and
organizing
our
class
to
fight
back
against
those
who
are
destroying
our
planet,
the
ruling
class
and
fourth,
and
finally,
is
caring
on
criminalization.
I
believe
we
need
to
direct
resources
away
from
policing
and
incarceration
and
toward
evidence-based
solutions
that
actually
work
to
keep
us
safer,
as
well
as
harm
reduction
strategies.
Thank
you.
G
In
addition
to
and
serving
on
city
council
recently,
and
that
is
going
to
be
a
really
unique
and
I
think
great
vice
perspective
for
making
city
decisions
and
raising
the
concerns
of
what
would
be
best
for
long-term
development,
sustainability
for
our
community
and
I've
had
many
different
Athens
experiences.
I
came
here.
First,
as
a
student
living
in
the
dorm
I
had
the
experience
of
being
an
off-campus
student,
renter
and
I
had
to
be
both
wonderful,
the
challenging
experience
of
being
a
newlywed
living
with
my
in-laws
when.
C
G
Husband
went
to
come
before
their
own
home
here
and
to
that
experience
lasted
longer
than
we
thought
that
it
would.
When
we
first
moved
in
and
my
incredibly
gracious
and
we
had
the
opportunity
to
first-time
homebuyers.
We
purchased
a
duplex
because
that
allowed
us
to
meet
our
mortgage
and
insurance
and
property
tax
bills
and
also.
G
H
H
Have
some
of
the
same
opportunities
as
higher
income
levels?
Maybe
we're
paying
too
much
for
rent?
Maybe
businesses
aren't
paying
people
enough.
Maybe
that
business
is
landlords
are
enough
to
my
friend,
maybe
there's
too
many
empty
retail
spaces
that
could
be
occupied
by
businesses
to
create
jobs
that
are
based
on
the
novel.
Why
are
we
having
bernard
to
walmart
from
there
creates
low-paying
job
while
we
are
subsidizing
the
loans
and
we're
subsidizing?
What
we
will
be
subsidizing
bernard
so
that
they
can
make
millions
and
billions
while
their
workers
are.
A
D
E
Ellen,
thank
you.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
You
know
the
I
know
we
had
this
conversation
a
while
back,
and
that
was
when
the
Ohio
legislation
was
looking
at
whether
those
were
going
to
be
constitutional
or
not,
and
I
stopped
following
that,
so
I
don't
know
where
we
are
currently,
if
it's
even
legal
to
be,
it
is
now
allowed
this
now
allowed,
and
so
this
would
be.
These
would
be
cameras
that
would
be
looking
at.
E
E
Unfortunately,
you're
always
going
to
have
speeders
always
anywhere
over
anywhere
in
town.
So
it's
it's
something
that
I
would
love
to
say
that
you
you
have
to
do
you
have
to
make
it
so
that
it
works
best
for
most
people
and
then
understand
that
there's
gonna
be
lawbreakers
that
are
always
going
to
be
present.
F
Okay,
I
am
opposed
to
this
on
the
basis
that
it's
an
invasion
of
privacy
and
that
I
oppose
anything
that
gives
the
police
more
power
in
our
community.
I
agree
with
people
I'm
thirty
thousand
four
hundred
cars
every
day.
It
is
a
lot
and
it's
no
wonder
there
are
potholes
on
East
8th
Street
every
year
when
the
ice
melts,
there's
too
much
traffic
and
so
I
think
that
the
answer
to
that
is
really
to
expand,
extend
public
transportation.
F
We
should
have
a
reliable
busing
system
that
should
run
more
often
to
more
places
every
day,
including
Sunday.
It
should
be
free
and
accessible
to
everyone
and
I
think
that
that
would
do
a
lot
to
decrease
traffic.
The
drivers
presumably,
would
be
people
who
obey
traffic
laws
who
stop
at
red
lights
and
who
follow
the
speed
limit.
They
could
be
driving
safely
and
I.
Think,
overall,
that
that
would
do
a
lot
to
reduce
the
dangers
on
e
state,
in
particular,.
F
G
Primary
objectives
of
the
changing
where
the
lines
are
was
to
to
narrow
the
lanes
to
make
people
a
little
more
cautious.
They
do
not
feel
like
the
driving
on
33,
and
so
I
would
like
to
know
whether
and
then
look
into
other
potential
traffic
calming
measures
that
could
be
implemented
prior
to
considering
cameras.
I
know
from
a
a
law
enforcement
of
judicial
perspective.
The
cameras
can
sometimes
cause
them
some
issues
as
far
as
well.
What
was
actually
photographed?
G
G
B
B
E
All
right,
thank
you,
and
so
you
know
when
you
think
about
planning
and
the
engagement
process
its
key,
so
it
you
know
it
has
to
happen.
We
can
watch
what
happens
with
the
whole
full
discussion
and
we
don't
want
another.
We
don't
want
another
swimming
pool.
You
know,
I,
think
that
you
know,
hopefully
everybody.
That's
that's
involved
understands
that
this
is.
F
Okay,
I
think
that
when
City,
Council
or
or
people
in
government
generally
seek
input
from
the
community,
there's
a
tendency
to
reach
out
to
a
certain
group
of
people
seen
as
community
leaders.
These
could
be
small
business
owners
or
presidents
of
various
associations
or
organizations
around
town,
and
this
is
not
to
say
that
some
of
those
people
might
not
have
very
valuable
insights
but
I
think
with
something
like
this.
F
It
would
be
really
important
to
involve
a
mass
of
ordinary
working-class
people,
people
who
don't
normally
show
up
to
city
council
meetings
or
follow
local
politics
very
carefully
and
so
I
think
it
would
take
a
concentrated
and
deliberate
outreach
effort.
I
would
be
interested
in
doing
something
like
going
door-to-door
and
working-class
apartment
complexes
and
neighborhoods
and
telling
people
about
this
opportunity
to
have
their
opinions
heard
telling
people
you
know
encouraging
ordinary
people
to
come
out
rather
than
reaching
out
to
the
same.
F
You
know
fifty
or
a
hundred
people
over
and
over
again,
who
kind
of
always
have
their
voices
heard
and
I
think
you
know,
there's
it's
very
exciting
to
me
that
there's
an
opportunity
to
use
the
space
for
something
I
can
think
of
a
ton
of
ideas.
We
can
have
a
free
childcare
center.
We
should
have.
We
could
have
a
sinc
injection
facility.
We
could
have
all
kinds
of
different,
exciting
community
spaces
where
you
don't
have
to
spend
money
that
could
improve
people's
quality
of
life.
G
C
G
Also
they've
had
to
work
with
different
independently
minded
minded
individuals
to
reach
the
farmers
market
members
and
so
their
work,
even
with
within
their
own
group.
They
have
to
bring
that
to
the
community
and
to
the
city,
and
so
we
have
a
lot
of
interest
for
a
lot
of
different
angles,
and
so
trying
to
find
a
compromise
is
is
what
has
to
happen
and
finding
the
solution
works
best
for
as
many
people
as
possible.
So
in
addition
to
forums,
we
want
a
lot
of
public
forums
in
the
city
and
some
are
very
well
attended
and.
G
F
C
G
Even
though
it
makes
me
my
own,
this
is
planning
group
is
coming
into
town
and
they're
gonna,
maybe
report
it.
It's
not
company
of
suddenly
and
it's
based
on
and
trying
to
get
various
groups
on
the
same
page
to
move
forward
personally
I
like
the
idea
of
cutting
it
as
close
to
the
front,
like
my
variance.
G
G
H
So
I
know
that
I
have
known
for
years
that
the
farmers
market
is,
you
know,
had
the
past
four
years
having
issues
trying
to
find
a
permanent
location.
I
only
learned
in
the
first
forum
here
about
the
idea
of
potentially
doing
and
since
then
I'm
talk
to
someone
all
of
the
farmers
market
and
also
the
language
community
members
who
definitely.
H
Concerns
about
how
to
get
back
by
the
large
people
and
learn
that
there's
sometimes
a
foul
smell
in
the
air
which
way
does
not
me
be
good
for
browsers
farmers
or
anything
so
I
have
to
agree
with
closer
to
creating
a
space
for
it.
We're
in
permanently
by
that
same
poly.
I
also
agree
with
Ellie
very
much
that
we
reach
out
further.
H
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
avenues
for
us
to
do
that
in
this
modern
age.
But
you
know
what
they
think
that
as
a
person
in
the
city
coming
to
and
just
running
so
many
people
have
come
to
me
to
talk
to
me
about
things
which
I
was
a
little
nervous
about
first.
But
it
turns
out
I
kind
of
joy.
But
I
think
that
in
addition
to
that
that
we
should
be
approaching
people.
B
C
D
Associations
as
much
as
possible,
I've
been
to
I
think
eight
activities
and
meetings
about
here
and
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
the
Far
East
Side
ice
cream
social
at
me,
right
I,
was
amazed
at
your
budget.
Frankly,
it
was
incredible,
but
there's
also
one
thing
that
I
tried
to
do
anyway,
not
just
really
into
this
issue
if
I
left
the
City
Council
and
that
is
to
set
at
least
100
per
month
at
a
public
place
where
you
want
to
see
come
talk
to
me
about
any
city,
idea
or
question
that
they
have
to
me.
F
Okay,
well,
I,
don't
see
really
an
urgency
and
overturning
that
ordinance,
but
I
also
am
not
opposed
to
overturning
it.
It
seems
like
that
a
little
bit
arbitrary,
especially
since
we
are
providing
a
place
for
them,
so
you
know
it
doesn't
really.
The
city
is
doing
it
anyway.
It
shouldn't
matter.
If
there's
a
law
commanding
it
or
not,
but
I
suppose
I
support
overturning
that
law.
Yeah.
G
C
H
They
think
that
the
farmers
market
is
such
a
wonderful
thing,
and
that
is,
you
know,
probably
like
the
first
step
in
something
I
was
talking
about
earlier,
which
is
taking
our
focus
away
from
big
box
stores.
Refocusing
on
local
stores
and
just
be
social
aspect
alone
is
enough
for
me
to
consider
it
very.
H
D
Again,
I
think
changing
that
woman's
to
just
say
maids,
that
a
will,
but
barring
a
really
difficult
circumstances
in
which
there
might
have
to
be
an
exception
made
to
that
I
think
yeah.
It
would
make
sense
for
the
city
to
try
to
try
to
provide
a
good
location
for
the
Farmers
Market
fire-starting
provides
really
important
options
in
our
city.
In
addition,
to
just
I
mean
absolutely
not
just
I
love
the
fact
that
it
sells
very
healthy
food
to
our
people,
it's
probably
making
a
lot
of
us
healthier
than
we
would
be.
D
Those
that
I
understand
that
the
majority
of
snap
dollars
spent
at
farmers
markets
in
the
entire
state
of
Ohio
are
spent
in
our
part
time.
That
was
really
important
to
me
that
we
sure
have
a
way
to
get
healthy
food
for
their
families
and
I.
Think
that's
very
important.
Another
thing
which
remember
is
that
incredible
education
that
community
initiatives
from
right
where
they
take
that
hasn't
sold
by
the
end
of
the
day
or
the
end
of
the
market
from
farmers,
people
can
buy
it
back
at
office
or
something
I
don't
mean.
C
E
Okay,
real
quick
I
wouldn't
need
to
know
once
again,
I
need
to
know
more
currently
right
now,
I
would
say
no
I,
don't
see
any
reason
to
necessarily
put
a
relationship
on
on
a
bad
bad
foot
by
just
by
repealing
it,
especially
when
we
have
excuse
me
when
we
haven't
heard
exactly
the
city
paying
for
this.
You
know.
E
Structure?
What
does
this
look
like
if
the?
If
the,
if
the
farmers
market
it
is
coming
back
to
city
property,
because
if
we
go
back
to
the
70s?
That's
that's
where
the
farmers
market
was
located.
You
know
part
of
the
conversation
that
I
remember
back
in
the
you
know
in
the
late
80s
early
90s,
when
we
were
getting
ready
to
build
this
building
was
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
space
for
the
farmers
market,
and
that
didn't
happen.
So
what
were
some
of
those
conversations
that
happened
back
then?
G
Because
they
guarantee
to
from
him
in
cities
from
putting
a
single-use
plastics
and
in
place
so
I
think
that
I
I
wouldn't
be
in
favor
of
the
city.
Implementing
a
No
Fee
ban
I
think
that
we
should
be
looking
for
more
creative
solutions,
things
that
involve
perhaps
options
being
offered
a
beautiful
back
reminders
apartment,
but
they
have
a
reminder
in
the
parking
lot.
Don't
forget
your
bags
and
there
have
been
so
many
times
when
I
go
into
Kroger
and
realize
I
forgot,
my
back,
and
so
just
a
simple
reminder
can
make
a
difference.
G
But
driven
some
salesmen
in
other
communities
were
back
has
been
banned
and
it's
led
to
an
increase
in
uses
of
other
heavier
weight,
plastic
bags,
people
who
would
be
used
what
we
could
possibly
use
bags,
people
with
who
would
reduce
quarterbacks
as
trash
can
liners
or
to
what
they
want.
Their
dog
bin
instead
purchase
trash,
can
liners
and
other
heavier
weight
plastic
bags
to
use
in
place
that
we're
using
singly
as
possible.
So
I
think
it's
an
issue.
H
B
B
B
D
D
It's
crazy,
however,
I
think
that
one
of
the
best
examples
I'm
aware
of
how
we
make
significant
progress
toward
using
many
fewer
sympathies
must
effects
is
happening
right
now
at
one
of
our
local
stores
and
that's
the
relatively
became
food
market
on
these
State
Street.
They
have
a
hefty
cost
per
bag,
20
cents,
if
you
use
their
busted
back,
and
that
seems
to
get
people's
attention
I
even.
D
D
D
E
So
you
know
I
think
I
think,
first
and
foremost,
I
think
anything
that
a
city
can
do
to
that
would
be
effective
to
reduce
our
consumption
of
plastics
needs
to
be
definitely
looked
into.
You
know,
I,
remember
when,
when
Jennifer
thank
you
so
much
based
on
people's
names,
occasionally
when
she
was
putting
forward
the
single-use
bag,
ordinance
and
I.
Think
Patrick
and
I
were
the
only
two
up
here
that
were
that
wrong
Council
at
the
time
you
know
we
were,
we
were
getting
you.
E
Know
coming
after
us
and
asking
us:
what
do
we
think
and
so
I
think
it's
something
that
if
we
do
make
that
approach,
it's
something
that
we'd
have
to
brace
ourselves
for,
but
what
we
need
to
understand
that
this
isn't
this
isn't
something
that
we
should
be
considering.
This
is
I
mean
this
isn't
something
that
is,
that
should
be
thought
of,
as
as
should
we
do
it
or
shouldn't
we
do
it.
This
is
something
we
need
to
move
towards,
because
this
is
the
future.
We
have
to
reduce
our
use
of
all
plastics.
C
F
I
do
support
my
own
plastic
band.
I.
Do
not
think
that
people
should
have
to
pay
a
plastic
bag.
However,
I'm
surprised
that
something
like
that
works
at
kindred
market,
which
is
a
little
on
the
upscale
side,
but
when
I
did
in
New
York
City,
it
was
a
citywide
tax,
basically
that
you
had
to
pay
five
cents
for
plastic
bag
and
what
that
looked
like
was
for
people
going
to
court
next
doors
of
paying
an
extra,
however
many
cents
for
their
groceries
every
time
it
did
exactly
nothing
to
reduce
the
use
of
plastic
bags,
but.
F
Of
and
I
think
it's
necessary,
but
woefully
insufficient
to
address
the
reality
of
climate
change
in
the
broader
intellectual
catastrophe.
That's
unfolding
around
us
and
I.
Think
at
the
heart
of
that
is
capitalism.
100
companies
are
responsible
for
over
half
of
global
carbon
emissions.
The
US
military
has
the
largest
evil
carbon
footprint
in
the
world,
and
the
capitalism
by
definition
puts
profit
first
over
people
in
Planet
capitalism
by
definition,
is
premise:
on
infinite
growth
capital,
his
money
in
motion
to
create
more
money.
F
F
Lies
in
organizing
the
working
class,
it
happens
if
we
have
an
organized
militant
working
class,
we
are
actually
capable
of
ending
capitalism,
which
we
have
to
do
within
a
decade
or
horrible
consequences
are
coming
for
us,
but
you
know
our
reading.
The
world
has
ended
for
so
many
people
as
a
result
of
ecological
devastation.
You.
F
F
H
H
C
B
C
D
D
C
C
E
And
I
don't
think
this
would
ever
what
ever
happened,
because
I
think
between
the
city
and
the
county
I
think
that
there
really
isn't
a
lot
of
conversation
I.
Think
it's
pretty
siloed
between
between
the
two,
that's
not
to
say
that
we
don't
have
a
good
relationship,
but
I
would
say
that
a
lot
of
our
decisions
in
both
the
city
and
county
are
not
being
made
thinking
about
the
other,
the
other
entity.
So
if
is
there
a
project?
Is
there
something
that
we
can
that
we
can
agree
on
that?
E
That
would
be
something
that
we
could
both
put
funds
forward
to
pay
for
and
part
of
it
comes
from
that
tax.
I,
don't
know,
but
I
mean
I.
Think
that
I
think
really
it's
not
as
for
me.
It
wouldn't
be
trying
to
figure
out
how
how
we're
going
to
walk
away
with
a
larger
share.
It's
more
like
finding
out
what
what
is
something
that
we
both
want
and
as
this
is
this
one
of
the
streams
that
could
help
pay
for
it.
F
Well,
first
and
opposed
to
sales
taxes,
because
I
think
they
just
proportionately
are
rapport
and
working-class
people
and
I
support
income
taxes
instead.
Deeply
deeply
deeply
he's
back
to
home
taxes.
I
think
for
me,
my
sense
of
solidarity,
where
this
money
should
go
to
who
should
be
helped
with
it,
is
not
defined
by
geography
or
something
as
arbitrary
as
the
city
limits.
It's
defined
by
a
class.
G
First
of
all,
I
think,
there's
zero
chance
that
they'll
agree
as
your
authority
to
make
them
I
would
love
to
communicate
with
them
on
as
chief
engines.
Possibly
some
shared
projects
that
both
the
city
and
honey
would
be
jointly
invested
in,
but
genuinely
I
think
that
the
county
needs
the
funds
where
they
wouldn't
be.
Asking
for
this
increase
and
I
believe
that
those
funds
should
go
to
to
benefit
the
people.
Any
County
where,
where
services
are,
are
most
needed
and
in
general
and.
G
D
D
D
E
I
believe
when
we
were
having
those
discussions,
the
the
number
that
was
being
thrown
around
was
an
additional
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
year
to
the
to
the
city.
That
was
never
realized
because
our
jobs
we
didn't,
we
ended
up
not
collecting
as
much
income
tax,
that's
not
to
say
that
we
still
didn't
have
a
positive
balance.
E
Coming
from
that
from
that
levy
or
or
from
that
vote
and
the
you
know,
I
would
say
that
we
have
increased
the
mileage
of
our
fall
and
Hill
paving
schedule
and
and
at
times
have
put
as
much
as
two
hundred
thousand
additional
extra
dollars
into
repaving
those
city,
streets
and
infrastructure.
So
you
know,
I
I
could
probably
go
through
the
list.
I
would
say
that
we
are
still
short
on
fire
personnel
and
I
know
we're
always
going
through
that
process.
E
Especially
when
you
need
three
fire,
you
know
fire
up,
men
are
fire
people
to
show
up
and
and
and
a
you
know,
for
any
type
of
situations,
so
they
actually
have
to
wait
for
two
trucks
to
arrive
before
they
can
do
anything
so
overall
I
think
I
think
the
city
has
has
done
stuff
to
to
add
to
to
our
infrastructure
and
our
you
know
and
our
safety.
But
we
also
have
to
look
at
where
we're
at
currently
with
what
we're
collecting
in
tax.
F
Thank
you,
so
I
would
like
to
change
the
way
the
city
is
prioritizing
spending
its
money.
Currently,
a
third
of
the
city
budget
goes
to
policing
which
study
after
study
shows
that
there
is
no
correlation
between
police
per
capita
and
the
primary
police
simply
do
not
keep
us
safer
there.
That's
not
an
evidence-based
claim.
Instead,
ending
poverty
is
what
keeps
us
safer.
F
F
Think
that
I'm
not
talking
about
the
upper
level
folks
I'm
talking
about
wage
workers
for
the
city,
I,
think
that
everybody
who
works
for
the
city
or
contracts
of
the
city
should
be
making
a
living
wage
of
at
least
$15
an
hour
which
is
not
currently
the
case
and
other
anti-poverty
measures
could
include
making
sure
our
schools
have
the
resources
to
provide
three
free,
healthy
meals,
a
day
all
year
round
to
students
bringing
free
medical
care.
Dental
care,
reproductive
health
care
to
our
city,
providing
free
childcare
services
for
working
parents.
F
I
think
that
overall,
the
city's
priorities
need
to
be
turned
upside
down
and
directed
away
from
things
have
benefit
the
wealthy
afford
things
that
benefit
the
poor.
I
would
also
be
in
favor
of
an
additional
income
tax
again,
provided
that
it
is
extremely
steeply
graduated
and
that
we're
taxing
the
folks
at
the
top.
G
G
G
G
Perhaps
a
consolidated
facility
that
works
best
and
is
the
most
cost
effective
for
the
city,
so
that
that's
one
thing
I
wanted
to
chime
in
additionally,
as
far
as
what
has
been
provided,
we're
providing
a
living
wage
and
health
insurance
and
retirement
benefits
for
our
fighters
and
our
police
officers,
and
this
the
city
approved
the
expenditure
of
body
cams
or
at
this
Police
Department
and
I.
Think
that
is
an
important
step
forward
for
the
safety
of
our
citizens
and.
H
H
That's
you
didn't
know
that
that's
the
same.
Nobody
thinks
that
or
anything
simpler
that
and
I'm
a
feedback
saying
a
little
bit
about
that.
Marin
is
going
into
poverty.
Programs,
I
think
that
some
people
might
interpret
something
like
that.
As
being
you
know,
just
a
group
of
people
like
yeah
sure
that's
great,
it's
not
before,
but
how's
that
gonna
benefit
me.
The
way
that
benefits
everybody
is.
We've
made
people
the
people
out
of
poverty,
living
people
out
of
stress,
constant
stress
every
day,
that
is
social
infrastructure
that
is
making
their
community
Strummer.
A
D
D
D
D
Council,
member
chrismole,
the
hostess,
was
trying
to
make
sure
you
don't
end
up
playing
catch-up
really
badly.
If
dozens
and
dozens
of
stories
of
people
start
doing
this,
her
idea
was
to
have
really
pretty
tough
regulations
and
bad
ones
that
will
preserve
the
neighborhoods
but
still
give
people
some
extra
economic
opportunities.
If
it
were
me,
I
think
ever
tighten
the
proposed
right.
C
G
C
D
D
C
D
D
D
D
C
E
E
And
we
already
have
disconnected
just
because
of
our
society
and
the
way
it
works
and
how
many,
how
many
times
we
interact
with
screens
and
we
don't
interact
with
people
it
is.
It
is
imperative
to
have
to
preserve
and
allow
all
those
houses
in
those
neighborhoods
to
be
used
for
that
purpose.
I
am
a
business
owner,
I
run
a
business
in
business
Sohn.
If
you
you
know-
and
this
is
this-
is
the
definition
I
believe
that
you
know
extra
income.
This
is
a
business,
it
can
exist
in
a
business
zone.
E
Mean
I'm
willing
to
listen
at
least
on
that
and
hear
what
people
have
to
say
what
and
what
it
is
there.
The
other
thing
that
I
want
to
also
kind
of
bring
up,
which
I
don't
know
if
anyone
has
brought
brought
out
is
that
I
believe
that
there
isn't
anything
within
if
you
are
a
renter
that
I
think
there
isn't
anything
specifically,
that's
the
I
think
they
say
specifically
no
rental
houses.
C
F
I
really
agree:
I
think
that
air
babies
have
been
at
the
forefront
of
gentrification
in
various
cities
on
New
Orleans
in
New
York,
it's
been
driving
people
out
of
there
and
neighborhoods
that
they
lived
in
and
grew
up
in
and
specifically
for
people
are
the
ones
that
are
affected
first
and
worst
by
gonna,
be
enemies.
I
think
that
that
when
people
bring
up
the
benefit
of
allowing
Airbnb
zit
is
to
allow
more
people
to
afford
to
buy
a
home,
and
that
has
overall
been
the
city's
approach
to
quote-unquote,
affordable
housing.
F
G
G
It's
been
suggested
that
this
is
only
coming
Oregon
City
Council
may
be
at
the
push
of
a
particular
wealthy
landowner
or
someone
who's
really
winning
over
two
years
ago,
when
I
was
waiting
for
her,
my
seed,
initially
I
was
contacted
by
multiple
people,
single
moms
retirees,
different
people
who
wanted
to
be
able
to
offer
the
option
in
their
their
own
home,
ready
to
offer
the
homestay
option,
and
so
I
think.
Then
that
is
the
option
that
I
look
at
that.
Would
someone
has
a
finished
room
above
the
garage
still
up
there
home
property?
G
Does
that
count
as
within
their
home?
So
we
need
to
look
at
it
very
carefully.
I
know
the
money
Commission
recently
announced
that
there
is
a
forum
is
going
to
be
happening
and,
as
was
brought
up
right
here,
there's
a
power
and
democracy
email
us
go
to
the
forums,
tell
the
Planning
Commission
of
your
thoughts
and
your
idea.
G
We
definitely
do
want
to
hear
them
and-
and
like
I
said
before
this
came
before
the
Planning
Commission,
and
perhaps
the
only
people
who
said
a
word
to
me
about
it,
like
single
long
to
retirees
who
wanted
the
extra
income
to
be
able
to
afford
to
stay
in
their
home
to
stay
at
me.
So
I
think
it's
something
that
there
is
there's
a
compromise
fun
and
keep
working
on
it
and
listening
to
both.
H
I
G
Section
II
or
HUD
funding
for
and
this
ordinance
would
prohibit
discrimination
based
on
source
of
income.
So
whether
someone
has
their
money
in
a
401k
or
someone
is
paying
their
rent
with
the
section
8
housing
doctor
is
not
a
reason
that
the
landlord
can
decide
whether
or
not
to
rental.
So
if
a
source
of
income.
E
F
In
favor
of
banning
source
of
source
of
income,
discrimination,
I
think
people
who
are
on
section
E
and
doctors
right
now
have
a
really
hard
time
finding
a
place
to
live.
There's
a
couple
reasons
for
this:
one
is
that
our
city,
housing
code
is
actually
weaker
in
some
respects
than
the
section
so
suddenly
inwards,
because
their
properties
are
so
poorly.
F
F
G
In
committee
at
City
Council,
this
is
something
that
came
forward
from
discussions
with
and,
of
course,
of
the
Affordable
Housing
Commission.
This
is
something
that
it
we
decided.
This
does
tend
to
happen
very
quickly
and
can
take
effect
right
away
as
a
landlord
of
a
few
properties.
I
have
rented
to
individuals
with
housing.
Vouchers
and
I
have
also
encouraged
other
Indian
blended
with
in
town
to
accept.
G
G
H
C
H
C
B
G
Looking
at
the
new
social
media,
we're
living
in
very
divisive
times
and
there's
a
lot
of
distrust
and
a
lot
of
alienation,
I
think
it's
really
important.
Then
we
have
dialogue
that
would
bring
groups
together
that
we
find
ways
that
we
can
move
forward
together
as
a
city
and
not
be
a
divided,
a
divided
community.
So.
F
So
you'll
notice
that
Chris
and
I
regret
tonight
we
denied
in
solidarity
with
the
Chicago
Teachers
Union.
It's
currently
on
strike.
It's
part
of
a
national
read
for
IDI
movement,
where
people
are
being
asked
to
wear
red
for
the
duration
of
the
strength
to
show
their
support
for
the
teachers
in
Chicago.
The
Democratic
mayor
Chicago
has.
F
Pretty
substantial,
raise
and
they're
on
strike
anyway
because
they
say
they're
not
striking
for
themselves
they're
striking
for
their
students,
they're
striking
them
to
reprioritize
the
city's
budget
and
homelessness
their
strength.
We
have
our
support
staff
in
their
schools
to
have
more
guidance,
counselors
and
more
nurses
and
things
like
that
to
help
their
students.
So
that's
why
Chris
and
I
are
wearing
red
tonight.
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
the
Socialists
and
athletes
are
not
alone
that
it
seems
like
we
have
really
far
reaching
goals
and
not
a
lot
of
power
to
achieve
them.
F
But
there
are
people
all
over
the
world
currently
standing
up
for
their
rights.
Working-Class
people
are
currently
out
on
no
strikes
and
progress
from
Chile
Spain
and
from
Ecuador
to
Egypt
to
Lebanon.
So
I
want
to
just
express
my
solidarity
with
this.
Those
working-class
movement
around
and
express
the
hope
that
we
here
in
Athens
are
able
to
do
our
part
to
contribute
on
to
the
rising
working
class.
E
C
F
E
B
D
D
To
be
able
to
ask
questions,
clearly
vital
piece
cost
and
people
in
acronyms,
but
I
also
know
them
well
enough
to
know
now,
but
we
could
work
well
together
and
that
I
could
contribute
to
productive
meetings
that
would
be
relatively
efficient
while
still
really
listening
to
the
people
and
welcoming
community
input
and
feedback.
As
I've
said
that
I'm
going
to
do.
