D
I
mean
this
is
it's
becoming
it's
almost
becoming
like,
like,
like
I
am
living
in
some
type
of
foreign
country
that
we
actually
have
wars
against,
because
it's
silencing
the
voice.
Now
this
is
a
form
of
censorship
with
when
you're
putting
all
of
these
other
agenda
items
together,
scrunching
them
together-
and
I
only
have
one
minute
one
minute
to
articulate
my
position
as
a
citizen
to
inform
you
about
how
your
decisions
are
affecting
the
context
in
which
I
exist.
D
I
mean
this
is
this:
this
is
not
okay
and
I'm
asking
you.
I
am
literally
imploring
you,
please
stop
it
and
stop
it
now.
I
don't
want
to
go
and
have
to
file
a
lawsuit
with
the
city
that
I'm
trying
to
advocate
with
and
trying
to
work
with,
to
just
have
the
democratic
process
be
just
that
demos
kratis
the
power
of
the
people,
not
the
representative
government
that
we
elected
into
office,
that
is,
that
is
closing
up
with
the
developers.
D
E
Hi,
thank
you
to
quickly
comment
on
the
previous
speaker,
the
words
pulsato.
You
know
between
san
jose
and
the
vta.
I've
noticed
you
sometimes
have
a
habit.
You
use
the
one
minute
a
lot
is
it?
Is
it
possible
to
consider
90
seconds
one
minute,
30.
it's
hard
for
san
jose
and
bta
to
want
to
do
that.
I
think
it
would
be
a
lot
of
help
and
it'd
be
a
real
good
compromise
of
middle
ground
to
be
a
bit
more
efficient
and
yet
allow
a
bit
more
time.
E
You
know,
somewhere
between
the
one
minute
and
one
minute,
30
range,
it
would
be
it'd
just
be
a
lot
of
tremendous
help,
because
I
feel
that
strain
under
only
a
minute.
Sometimes
myself
and
I
need
that
extra
15
20
30
seconds.
Thank
you
for
this
item.
This
is
about
covet
issues
and
about
bike
pathways
that
I
thought
was
really
interesting.
Well,
I
can't
say
enough:
I
you
know
it
seems
like
a
time
I
I
I
said
it
yesterday.
I
I
just
have
to
be
able
to
say
it.
E
My
public
comment
at
this
time
that
you
know
we
are
not
to
blame
for
the
events
of
kovid,
the
everyday
person
and
it's
hard
to
grasp,
but
we
just
shouldn't
be
held
to
hold
to
be.
You
know
to
pay
back
its
debt
burden
that
is
causing
all
of
us
and
and
that's
it's
an
important
concept
that
we
understand,
but
yet
we
can't
fully
do
that
with
each
other
and
to
learn
when
we
have
to
take
that
extra
step.
That's
that's
an
important
goal
that
I
hope
we
can
work
towards
from
that.
E
You
have
an
item
about
the
future
of
bicycle
pathways.
Good
luck!
In
working
on
that
issue,
let
me
see,
I
hope
we
have
enough
time
left
here,
20
seconds.
Thank
you
yeah.
You
know
I.
I
hope
we
continue
to
work
on
this
issue.
I
hope
you
can
give
good
advice
to
bta
who
want
to
take
that
good
advice
about
new
equity
practices
from
the
east
side,
about
bike
pathways
and
pedestrian
pathways
and
that
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
fearful
subject.
E
C
C
Yeah,
I
I
think
you
know-
I
think
we've
talked
about
this
on
this
committee
before
that.
Not
to
be
you
know,
heard
before
right
certainly
is
not
very
efficient
for
us
to
tell
anybody
what
time
they're
going
to
come,
and
I
do
think
that
yesterday
it
did
work
well
to
have
those
two
items
with
you
know
a
a
more
or
less
time
certain
one
after
dinner
and
then
one
at
a
time
certain
at
eight.
C
You
know
we
we
sort
of
managed
to
round
it
right
and
it
works
its
way
out
to
where
we
can
actually
hear
those,
and
we
can
give
some.
You
know
some
of
our
community
members
at
least
a
little
bit
more
consistent
of
an
answer
on
what
time.
Clearly
we
can't
do
that
for
every
single
item,
but
if
we
pick
you
know
the
most
important
ones,
I
think
that's
fine,
so
I'm
open
as
well
to
either
one.
F
F
Yeah,
okay,
so
I
guess
it
would
be
if
we
could
stick
to
6
30
and
take
a
lunch.
I
mean
a
dinner
at
5
30
and
I
think
we
have
to
tell,
or
at
least
inform
the
mayor
as
the
chair,
that
that's
what
we've
asked
for
ahead
of
time
so
that
he
just
knows
and
is
aware
of
it
and
can
manage
time
as
soon
as
we
begin.
C
C
The
mayor
does
have
the
ability
to
run
the
decorum
of
the
meeting,
but
if
we
put
this
recommendation
forward
from
rules
saying
we'd
like
this
at
6
30,
so
you
know
that
doesn't
necessarily
mean
we
have
to
take
a
5
30.
You
know
hard
stop
break
for
dinner.
We
could
go
to
six
and
only
do
a
short
dinner
as
we've
done
in
the
past
on
30
minutes.
You
know,
but
I
think
we
can.
We
have
that
discretion
correct
norm.
C
F
A
C
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
and
then
to
to
speak
to.
I
think,
some
of
the
concerns
that
that
we
heard
from
both
paul
and
and
blair
in
regards
to
timing.
Certainly
it's
to
you
know,
nobody's
benefit
ours
included
when
we
limit
our
public
speakers
to
one
minute,
and
you
know
we're
aware
of
that-
and
I
know
that
you
know
our
colleagues
here,
cohen
and
davis-
will
will
note
that
that's
likely
part
of
the
reason
why
right
they're
talking
about
hey,
how
do
we?
C
How
do
we
be
more
efficient
with
our
time?
So
no
doubt
I
think
we
all
are
are
aware
of
that
and
and
interested
in
that.
I
do
think
that
there
are
conversations
that
are
worthy,
and
I
know
that
as
this
comes
forward,
because
it
will
now
come
to
the
full
council,
I
do
think
we
should
consider
you
know
how
we
might
help
influence
the
you
know
some
of
those
decisions.
Sorry
lee
I'm
getting
a
little
feedback.
C
I
think
it's
yours,
so
apologies
or
I
don't
know-
could
be
somebody
else's,
but
and
no
it
was
definitely
yours.
Lee
it's
gone
now
so
so
I
do
think
that
that's
that's
something
worth
talking
about,
as
blair
actually
mentioned,
which
is
you
know,
it
doesn't
always
have
to
be
a
minute.
You
know
per
se,
and
actually
you
know
because
you
know
we
know
certain
items
may
garner
more
public
comment.
I
don't
think
we
should
be
against
fluctuating
and
and
again
nora.
C
You
can
tell
me
if
I'm
wrong
on
this
one,
but
this
is
at
the
discretion
of
the
mayor.
Correct
like
we
can.
We
can
provide
some
advocacy,
but
if
the
mayor
during
the
meeting
decided
he
wanted
to
cut
public
comment
down
to
one
minute,
does
the
council
have
any
authority
to
to
override
that?
To
my
understanding,
is
we
don't.
A
And
that
was
my
recollection.
I
was
just
looking
it
up
and
there
are
as
part
of
the
rules,
it's
two
minutes
for
most
items
and
the
only
time
that
it
gets
rolled
back
is
if
it
appears
that
it's
a
really
full
agenda
or
there
are
a
whole
lot
of
people
who
want
to
speak.
But
generally
it's
two
minutes
and
I'll
continue
to
look
just
to
get
confirmation
on
whether
it's
the
mayor
that
sets
it
or
it's
for
its
a
council
vote.
C
My
my
understanding
from
when
we
have
debated
this
previously
rick
had
made
him
comment
that
that
is
at
the
discretion
of
the
mayor.
As
he
runs
the
decorum
of
the
meeting,
including
the
you
know,
limiting
that
the
time
of
the
speakers
grant
it
has
to
be
within
the
context
of
these
rules.
It
can't
be
like
we
have,
you
know
a
completely
open
day
and
and
there's
not
a
reason
for
limitation,
because
we
have
to
have
that
that
ability
for
the
public
to
comment.
But
that
was
my
understanding.
C
If
you
want
to
take
some
time
to
dig
that
up.
That's
fine
and
I
don't
think
you
have
to
give
an
answer
immediately
now,
but
obviously,
as
this
item
is
going
to
move
forward
from
last
week,
I
think
those
are
all
things
that
that
you
know
we'll
want
to
be
able
to
discuss,
because
I
do
think
that
that
you
know
what
as
blair
was
saying,
you
know
we
should
consider
fluctuation
at
times
right
minute
and
30.
C
C
F
Chair,
I
I
absolutely
agree
with
you.
I
think
that
yesterday
we
could
have
heard
from
folks
a
little
bit
longer,
especially
around
some
of
the
housing
items
reduced.
Maybe
this
is
just
me
looking
back,
but
you
know
everything
as
we
look
back,
we
could
always
adjust,
but
that's
not
the
way
it
happens
in
the
moment
right.
F
But
I
think
if,
if
the
time
is
filled
with
resident
response,
then
is
up
to
us
to
then
trim
our
comments
right
like
trim
the
fat,
because
otherwise,
when
what
typically
happens
is
the
other
way
around,
we
trim
the
comments
of
our
residents
and
it's
already
very
limited.
It's
not
a
ten
minute
and
it's
not
a
five
minute
increment
right.
It's
a
two
minute
increment.
So
to
reduce
it
to
one
is
absolutely
I
can
agree.
F
I
I
don't
know
how
fair
that
is,
especially
for
folks
who've
been
waiting
for
hours
or
you
know
all
week
to
speak
on
an
item.
So
I
you
know,
I
don't
know
that.
That's
you
know
we
have
the
answer.
Like
you
said
it's
up
to
the
chair
to
decide,
but
I
think
maybe
it
seems
like.
Maybe
this
is
a
an
agenda
where
it's
light.
F
Maybe
we
want
to
talk
about
about
this
item
and
bring
it
into
the
fold,
and
I
think
because
it's
such
a
short
agenda
I
might
have
period
and
because
it's
such
a
short
agenda,
I
think
I
I
might
have
projected
a
later
time,
make
it
at
6
30..
So
I
wonder
if
well
I
guess
this
is
the
the
chairs
prerogative,
because
if
we
say
six
o'clock
we
can
just
sometimes
we
can
just
push
through
dinner.
F
F
A
I
do
there's
not
an
awful
lot
on
the
agenda
up
front.
We
do
have
a
3.1
covet
update,
but
given
the
large
amount
of
time
that
we
were
going
to
spend
on
vaccinations-
and
we
went
over
that
yesterday-
this
is
going
to
be
a
bit
more
concise
and
then
the
3.4
and
3.5
are
also
going
to
be
very
quick
items.
So
I'm
afraid,
if
you
did
a
time
certain
for
after
dinner,
you
guys
could
end
up
with
you
know
a
gap
there,
a
long
break
might
be
needed.
Everyone
needs
a
rest.
F
B
Yeah,
I
think
it's
worth
a
try
to
put
it
at
5
30
and
that
way,
if
things
are
moving
along,
we
could
theoretically
finish
early
and
if
they're
not,
we
can
still
take
the
dinner
and
finish
later.
So
that
might
be
a
reasonable
compromise
to
this.
It's
possible.
We
won't
be
done,
and
so
we
need
to
integrate.
But
this
way
we
have
that
opportunity.
G
B
Have
including
the
members
of
the
public
who
were
there
for
the
last
couple
items
would
have
appreciated
going
past
midnight.
So
you
know
we
can
look
back
and
say:
maybe
we
didn't
need
limits,
but
I
think
last
night,
the
time
limits
served
us
well
and-
and
you
know
we
didn't
know,
in
fact,
we
were
so
sure
that
meeting
was
going
to
be
even
longer
that
we
considered
postponing
the
entire
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
discussion
to
another
week,
because
we
were
so
concerned
about
the
length
of
the
meeting.
B
I
think
the
mayor
should
have
discretion
on
those
particular
topics
to
reduce
the
amount
of
time
for
speaker,
because
you
know,
I
think
we
have
to
it's
more
important,
to
hear
from
more
speakers
on
a
topic
to
make
sure
we
get
all
the
perspectives
and
it
is
to
cut
off
the
number
of
speakers,
which
also
is
something
that
ends
up
happening.
Sometimes
if
you
end
up
going
too
long
on
the
topic.
A
C
Okay,
thank
you
and-
and
I
think
that's
you
know
the
suggestion
at
least
on
on
the
motion
in
regards
to
the
time
certain
I
I
think
it
may
be
a
short
meeting,
so
I
do
think
it
is
worthwhile
to
maybe
make
it
you
know
5,
30
or
5.
Even
and
I
would
I
would
be
willing
to
to
support
that
as
well,
and
actually
one
of
the
things
that
we
don't
have
agendas
yet
is
the
recommendation
from
councilman,
cohen
and
davis
from
last
week.
Is
that
correct?
A
C
C
B
C
C
Okay
only
bring
this
up
because
it
seems
like
the
second
is
gonna
be
light,
but
if
that's
too
soon,
I
think
that's
fine,
so
it
may
be
the
23rd.
If
that's
gonna
also
be
light.
I
think
that
that
yeah-
I
just
was
curious.
I
I
didn't
I
didn't
know
there
had
been
a
date
already
considered.
So
if
that's
the
case,
I'm
fine
with
that
as
well.
Okay,
okay
and
then
council.
A
Member,
I'm
sorry
just
I
wanted
to
just
confirm.
I
knew
it
wasn't
in
the
agenda
that
the
mayor
had
control
over
the
time,
but
that
is
in
the
rules
resolution
and
I
did
find
the
language
that's.
What
I
wanted
to
confirm
was
that
it
where
that
came
from
there's
several
places,
but
the
time
limits
are
in
the
rules
resolution
also
that
the
chair
sets
time
limits
as
he
or
she
finds
reasonable
under
the
circumstances.
C
Thank
you,
yeah
and
that's
what
I
had
recalled
from
from
prior
discussion
and
just
so
obviously,
for
you
know
our
participants
that
we
have
today
at
least
blair
and
paul,
because
look
there's
all
sorts
of
rules.
This
is
very
complicated
right
how
things
move
forward,
but
that
is
one
particular
thing
that
the
mayor
has.
You
know
authority
over
during
the
council
meetings
right
and,
and
so
regardless
of
we
of
our
advocacy
one
way
or
the
other.
The
mayor
has
the
ability
to
make
that
call
on.
C
You
know
on
on
the
timing,
and
so
I
I
still
think
it
is
completely
worthwhile
for
us
to.
You
know,
have
this
discussion
if
it
will
ultimately
be
on
the
23rd
to
kind
of
roll
in
what
you
know,
what
ideas
we
have
to
to
try-
and
you
know,
be
creative
with
that,
and
I
imagine
the
mayor
would
be
open
right
to
to
those
suggestions,
and
so
I
do
think
that
that
is
worthwhile.
C
You
know,
and-
and
I
agree
with
councilman
cohen-
that
if
we
weren't
to
have
limited
especially
the
lengthy
item
right
to
a
minute,
we
would
not
have
made
it
before
midnight.
So
there's
you
know
there's
certainly
times
where
it's
needed.
You
know
there
may
be
times
where,
where
we
can
be
flexible,
but
I
think
all
of
that
it
will
be
a
worthwhile
conversation
going
forward.
C
C
B
My
understanding
of
the
brown
act,
and
maybe
it's
different
because
we're
in
charter
city
and
we
have
our
own
independent
rules,
but
brown
act
had
said
that,
with
time
limits
at
meetings
that
council
always
has
or
a
body
always
has
the
right
to
override
the
chair's
rules.
Is
that
still
true
in
our
in
our
case
or
not.
C
So
we
could
we,
the
council,
could
amend
that
resolution
which
would
change
that
authority,
but
at
the
moment,
at
the
moment
yeah
it
is,
it
has
been
deemed
in
the
in
the
chairs
discretion,
which
would
include
at
at
meetings.
You
know
like
this,
all
of
our
all
of
our
committee
meetings
and
all
that
stuff.
So
it's
not
just
the
mayor
during
the
council
meetings.
C
A
F
A
C
C
E
Hi,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
words.
On
the
previous
item.
I
mean
that
was
really
really
nice
of
you
guys.
The
way
you
were
talking
about
it.
You
know
I've
been
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
work
with
the
brown
act,
that
you
can
work
with
a
brown
act
and
at
the
same
time
that
can
allow
for
people
like
paul
and
myself
to
return
to
subject
matter
later
in
the
in
the
council
meeting
and
as
an
idea.
E
E
You
also
tried
to
coordinate
a
few
ideas
about
the
timing
issues
yesterday
and
it
got
kind
of
confused
and
and
worrisome.
I
hope
you
can
work
that
out
with
yourselves.
You
know
you
try
different
times.
You
know
better
talk
about
that
amongst
yourselves
and
I
think
what
council
president
peralta
said
it
can
work.
You
know
to
have
different
times
for
different
items.
Thank
you
to
talk
about
to
put
together
items
3.4
the
san
jose
investment
policy
for
the
yearly
investment
policy
and
clean
energy
ideas.
E
You
know
I
just
I
just
hope
we're
preparing
ourselves.
You
know
we
have
to
really
prepare
for
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
and
you
know
we
we
can't
because
there
may
be.
You
know
difficult
times
in
our
near
future.
In
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
we
don't
have
to
go,
lacks
in
and
open
public
policies
in
in
working
towards
really
good
renewable
energy
ideas.
We
don't
have
to
give
up
on
that
stuff.
E
We
can
go
full
bore
and
put
all
our
love
and
effort
into
it,
and
if,
when
disasters
do
happen,
we
can
then
have
a
good
way
to
transition
back
to
our
good
practices,
and
I
I
hope
we
want
to
do
that
kind
of
stuff
about
the
crane
issue.
I'd
like
to
talk
more
about
that
some
time
and
yes,
I
hope
we're
mellow.
Yes,
we
continue
a
mellow
path.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
councilman
perez,
that's
all
I'm
asking
for
I
mean,
if
you
I
I
think,
please
extend
me
just
a
little
bit
of
latitude
with
respect
to
this
topic
is
that
you
know
my
history.
You
know
my
ancestors
have
been
here
for
going
on
a
hundred
years.
You
can't
get
any
more
embodiment
of
inequity
than
inside
my
body.
I
don't
speak
spanish
because
of
what
they
did
to
my
mother
in
this
city.
I
can't
live
in
certain
places
because
of
what
they
did
in
willow
glen.
D
I-
and
I
understand
it
and
that's
why
sometimes
it's
painful
after
I
got
off
the
phone
yesterday.
I
cried
because
I
saw
what
is
happening
in
my
city.
I
play
chess,
I
know
when
the
opponent
is
moving
and
what
his
strategy
is.
So
I
can
foresee
this
and
martin
luther
king
stated
it,
and
I
want
to
make
that
clear.
Martin
luther
king
stated
it
that
the
riot
is
the
language
of
the
unheard.
D
You
have
this,
these,
this
debt
accumulation,
with
the
people
that
are
suffering
with
a
landlord
debt
that
that
this
city
is
going
to
have
to
contend
with
you
see
and
what
I
am
trying
to
do
as
a
from
a
citizen's
perspective
is
to
mitigate
the
kinds
of
issues
that
we're
going
to
have
to
contend
with,
and
I'm
doing
it
the
best
I
can
with
the
only
resource
I
have,
and
that
is
my
life
history
and
my
ability
to
articulate
through
rhetoric.
Now.
Rhetoric
has
principles
to
it.
D
You
have
to
set
your
base,
you
you
set
your
your
premise:
okay,
and
then
you
build
on
the
premise.
I
can't
do
that
when
you're
stacking,
the
amen
when
you're
amending
the
the
council
items
with
10
15
different
things
and
there's
something
to
say
with
them,
because
I
can
attach
every
single
one
of
them
to
an
equity
issue.
I
can,
if
given
enough
time-
and
I
think
that's
part
of
the
problem-
is
that
he
doesn't
want
to
give
me
that
time,
because
he
knows
that
I
have
the
ability
to
do
that
and
people
will
listen.
C
C
F
A
I
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
bring
it
up
in
the
closed
session
and
the
team
is
working
on
that
presentation.
So
you'll
hear
it
on
the
ninth
in
closed
session
and
then
it'll
come
back
the
following
week,
but
we
can
definitely
rules
next
week
when
we
look
at
the
16th
agenda.
Discuss
a
time
certain
council
member.
C
C
E
Hi,
thank
you
to
try
to
speak
politely
and
constructively
to
two
public
record
letters
today.
Am
I
missing
something
about
current
sjpd
candidate
deputy
mata?
Why
is
there
not
more
open
support
for
him?
Am
I
misjudging
that
deputy
mata
may
already
be
too
much
a
part
of
a
senate
sjpd
inside
himself
to
offer
any
real
sense
of
change,
or
is
our
progressive
community
simply
misjudging
how
deputy
mata,
with
his
patient,
progressive
ideas
and
mellor
disposition?
E
E
E
D
Thank
you,
echoing
the
sentiments
of
of
of
blair
beekman.
I
can't
it's
such
a
privilege
to
to
to
advocate,
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
san
jose,
on
the
same
podium,
as
is
this
man.
I
mean
I've
learned
so
much
from
him,
but
with
respect
to
the
garbage
see,
this
is
the
reason
why
the
equity
office
needs
expansion.
It
needs
resources
and
it
needs
staff
and
here's.
Why
is
that?
D
You
would
be
able
to
use
an
equity
landing
component
with
respect
to
all
of
these
items,
and
it
would
actually
take
some
of
the
thought
work
away
from
the
council
so
that
the
council
can
legitimately
just
really
address
the
issues
that
have
already
been
distilled
within
the
context
of
the
racial
equity
office
and
and
do
a
lot
of
that
like
like
silence
some
of
that
debate,
because
it
would
be
unnecessary
because
the
racial
equity
office
had
already
done
it.
You
see
and
so
see.
D
There
has
to
be
a
practical
application,
a
concrete
practical
application
of
equity
within
the
context
of
city
government
and
resources,
and
that's
what
it
looks
like
what
blair
just
suggested.
That
is
what
it
looks
like
and
to
to
to
speak
equity
and
keep
talking
about
it
in
equity
and
inclusion,
using
these
words
that
nobody
can
define,
because
there's
no
way
to
actually
look
at
it
concretely
within
the
context
of
government
to
point
at
and
say
that
right
there
that
is
equity
applied.
Why?
D
C
E
Hi
thanks
a
lot
for
the
meeting
today,
thanks
for
your
words
about
the
public
meeting
process
yeah,
I
was
really
surprised
and
hopeful
what
you
can
offer
good
luck
in
in
those
efforts
and
and
working
with
the
brown
act,
inviting
everyday
community
to
to
help
define
the
brown
act.
That's
a
thank
you
for
that.
E
You
know,
then,
the
mayor
offered
in
the
it
was
in
the
spotlight
essay
spotlight
today,
the
mayor.
You
know
his
feelings
about
the
tech
exodus,
that's
going
on
tech
companies
and
and
the
blame
of
the
housing
industry
or
housing
issues.
You
know,
and
it's
my
feeling
that
you
know
here
in
california
and
the
bay
area
we're
trying
incredibly
hard
to
like
hoist
up
and
builds
basically
our
sustainable
future
for
this
country
and
for
this
world
and
that's
equity.
That's
reimagined!
E
And
that's
what
we're
developing
in
california
in
san
jose
right
now,
and
I
hope
that
can
be
respected
by
our
business
community
and
they
want
to
work
towards
those
goals
and
that's
what's
innovative,
that's
awesomely
innovative
and
I
hope
we
can
make
those
efforts
to
do
that.
And
thanks
thanks
a
lot
for
the
meeting.
C
G
Okay,
it's
martha
o'connell.
I
was
going
to
send
you
an
email,
but
this
saves
me
sending
you
an
email
I
was
going.
I
had
thought
that
a
a
vote
of
the
majority
of
the
council
members
could
overrule
a
ruling
by
the
chair
to
cut
the
time
to
one
minute,
and
the
city
attorney
has
clarified
that.
So
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
you,
or
or
david
or
somebody
seriously
put
forward
a
a
memo
changing
that
policy.
It
has
nothing
to
do
for
me
with.
Who
is
the
mayor?
G
I
don't
care
who
the
mayor
is
it's
a
question
of
putting
that
tremendous
power
into
the
hands
of
any
one
person.
I
think
it
should
be
the
majority
of
the
council,
especially
when
it
is
a
controversial
issue,
and
most
especially
when
the
mayor,
whoever
it
is,
does
not
agree
with
the
majority
of
the
public
speakers.
So
please
somebody
consider
doing
that.
Thank
you.
D
To
the
last
senora
anytime,
you
need
your
lawn
mowed,
your
dog
petted,
your
car
washed.
I
got
you
my
name's
paul
soto,
get
a
hold
of
me.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that.
That
is
how
we
do
it
as
a
community
is
that
we
support
each
other
in
our
and
are
trying
to
articulate
within
the
context
of
city
government
what
it
means
to
live
in
a
democracy,
not
a
plutocracy,
not
an
autocracy,
but
a
democracy,
and
that
is
in
its
most
in
its
most
basic
terms.
D
Is
the
power
of
the
people,
not
the
power
vested
in
a
mayor
that
is
using
spotlight.
He
said
quit
blaming
the
tech
companies
for
our
problems.
This
is
what
he
said
so
he's
positioning
himself.
This
is
a
man.
Okay,
I'm
a
chicano
from
saucy
puedes.
This
man
is
from
bellarmine
harvard
and
georgetown
man.
You
know
we
need
to
even
the
score
a
little
bit.
Man
give
me
a
break,
I'm
working
from
nothing
man,
I'm
working
from
a
cell
phone,
and
sometimes
I
was
going
to
council
meetings.
While
I
was
sleeping
downtown
in
doorways.
D
You
know
you
guys
really
have
to
understand
man,
that
your
policies
and
what
you
do
actually
affect
the
context
in
which
I
live,
and
when
I'm
coming
and
exercising
what
is
guaranteed
me
in
the
constitution.
In
the
first
amendment,
to
bring
this
to
the
centers
of
power,
I'm
being
limited,
I'm
being
silenced,
I'm
being
censored,
you
know
this
is
this.
