At a recent Budget Meeting - held May 11, 2022 - chaired by Hillary Ronnen- preparing for the new budget cycle - the issues linked to the SARS-Co-2 pandemic.
Adversely - impacting our infants, children, youth, and youth adults -conducted - in a haphazard manner - those on the budget committee lack empathy - have no deep understanding of this dire situation.
Here is one report that may help the reader - San Francisco has not bothered to conduct profound studies - the San Francisco Health Department has a $3 billion budget - the SF City and County has a $13.7 billion budget:

There has been no Blue Print in place for two years - linked to mitigation. There has been no " sound needs assessment" - to help our children and youth - in the many elementary, middle, and high schools.
Our infants, children, youth, and young adults - are suffering from acute stress, trauma, and a host of chronic ailments brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. The current SF Budget Committee is oblivious to this fact - and has not studied the issue seriously.
When it comes to Behavioral Sciences, be it the University of California San Francisco - other entities linked to the SF Health Department - the situation is pathetic.
More when it comes to subacute beds - beds for the mentally challenged.
The San Francisco Health Department, headed by Dr. Grant Colfax and related entities - we have done nothing much to address the seriousness of our infants, children, youth, and young adults.
Its Behavioral Sciences department is nowhere to be found - when it comes to our infants, children, youth, and young adults. Its Director a transplant - from New York.
It does not help Supervisor acting like a fool - walking around - failing to sit in his chair and address the situation at hand - as a decent human being - the man lack etiquette and is irritating to those that watch his erratic behavior.
The Legislative Branch, the SF Board of Supervisors, has failed us on many levels - Homelessness, Health mental issues, Food Security, and so many evicted from their homes.
Millions of Stimulus Money were spent by crooks doling out to the inner circles - their friends and fellow thieves. Thousands of small businesses have closed their door - thousands left San Francisco - never, ever to return to San Francisco.
Studies were done by some - reveal - that stress and trauma - have seriously impacted our infants, children, youth, and young adults.
If the parents lack education - then the impacts on the infants and children - are more profound - the trauma and stress.
Parents who do not have the means to afford a computer are left in the dark.
Parents who are undocumented fear - and the City and County have done little to help those that need help most.
Some SF Unified School District Board members were recalled in the middle of the pandemic - adding fuel to the fire.
The SF Unified School District Superintendent should have stepped down - he wants to hang around, get a fact pension, and retire.
Year after year - because of former Supervisor Tom Ammiano and his supporters - " the rainy day fund " was established to help the SF Unified School District - the SFUSD has taken advantage of this tool - but has failed to accomplish anything worth the salt.
The Mayor's Office of Children, Youth, and Families must be audited and completely revamped.
It has failed us - taxpayers and citizens - miserably during the pandemic.
Pandering - to entities that have access - to the Mayor's Office of Children, Youth, and Families - this nonsense must stop - now.
This current pandemic has challenged many of us - and we citizens have uplifted others - while many SF Board of Supervisors - have taken Stimulus Money in the millions and other grants - and used them for personnel gain.
These so-called Legislators - The SF Board of Supervisors, have failed to maintain a standard. More District 10.
Have shown little capacity to follow the rules and regulations. They ramble a lot - but when it comes to Public Comment - allow only two minutes.
The SF Board of Supervisors failed us with Redistricting - failing to abide by the rules that govern sound redistricting - favoring gerrymandering.
Pitting those that most need help - the vulnerable populations that need resources.
More than one million Americans have died - and more will die - if we together do not uplift one another.
San Francisco should look into the McKinney-Vento Act - to aid the homeless - it is simply pathetic - to see so many die on the streets of San Francisco - surrounded by feces, filth, and unbearable stench:

The SF Board of Supervisors must have a hearing - allowing us, the taxpayers, and constituents of San Francisco - a preview of the millions spent - in the name of the Stimulus Fund - failing to help those that most need help.
Right now, on a war footing - we must help our infants, children, youth, and young adults - so many adults dying - while the SF Board of Supervisors - talks and discuss mundane issues - lacking accountability, transparency, and, most importantly - empathy.
This current budget must help those that have been left out.
This current budget will be monitored carefully - those thugs who think they can - fool all the people all the time - will be called out - and many will go to jail. Make no bones about this fact.
