Board of Supervisors Meeting Minutes 1/21/2020 ADDENDUM Pursuant to Administrative Code, Section 67.16, the following statements were provided by speaker(s), during the public comment period who supplied a brief written summary of their comments, which shall be included in the meeting minutes and are incorporated by individual reference as fully set forth herein. The content is neither generated by, nor subject to approval or verification of accuracy by, the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. Ray Hartz submitted the following additional information during General Public Comment, as follows: “On January 17, 2020 Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Angela Calvillo, appeared before the San Francisco Ethics Commission. She testified: 'The President has deputized me to represent him on the department's behalf.' 'One day, if we created a process where all 150 word statements were there, and there were 40 people submitting them. I could see that happening. You put out the word on Fox news and for some unfortunate situations that Fox news was upset about, they could get their entire customer base/client base to send us 150 word statements and we would be in a world of hurt trying to get people through those statements to get to the back of the agenda.' I thought I was the only person you wish to hinder in the unrestricted exercise of my First Amendment rights! There are, after all, specific targets of the BOS's animus: viewers of Fox news!"
