OUTSTANDING Jim!

Non Partisdian and encouraging ALL To speak with clear instructions on just the procedure involved in signing up and speaking at the SD County board. This the standard every political board meeting should follow.

OK Jim - now you're just showing off! How wonderful that you took the time to explain this. There are so many citizens that are fearful because "they've never done that before" and you provide this very professional and easy to follow instructions. You do it in a very nice and affirming way. The creation of this video is probably one of the most outstanding actions I've EVER witnessed from an elected official. I am so proud to live in your district and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the fantastic job you're doing. God bless you and yours, and all the citizens and elected of San Diego County!

Remember to be accurate, succinct, relevant and respectful when speaking.

Good reason I am not on any social media, mistakes made can destroy people. I'm too old to be part of it. Good video!

Supervisor Desmond - Thank you for all of your civility and assistance. I have not read all of the comments, but I am wondering whether the other supervisors have been provided with a similar presentation, "How to Listen at a Board Meeting". A few of the other supervisors may be surprised to learn that their duties include looking respectfully and directly at the speaker to be truly receptive to the message being presented.

So, if that is our San Diego County Board Meeting room, why is a Mexico flag being encased on the back wall? Just a question.

[jeffbritton]

just realized it is not the flag for Mexico. My bad

Don't forget "twice as loud, twice as slow". Speak up and slow down!

San Diego is the best place to deliver a new baby, not dispose of one! Tomorrow they will talk about heralding our city as a great city to have an abortion. I can’t wait to talk about why we are America’s Finest City! We live in a city that shines because we have unwaivering faith, hope and love!! Let’s herald ourselves as a city that nourishes Father Joe’s Village, and the hundreds of local charities that serve our babies, our youth, our parents, our elderly and our veterans! We don’t want to hurt our future. The children ARE our future.
