Nineteen years ago we ordsprog

en Nineteen years ago, we fought an historic battle to create hospice and residential care facilities for people who were dying from AIDS and who were living on the streets in Los Angeles County. Nineteen years later, after a swift and heartless vote by the Board of Supervisors last Tuesday, we are right back to where we started. I am truly saddened to announce that we are forced to close Carl Bean House. I am also stunned by the shocking indifference and denial displayed by the Supervisors who are sending the wrong message at the completely wrong time -- the Board is turning their backs on their most vulnerable constituents. We have come to the unfortunate conclusion that we simply cannot be a substitute for the County of Los Angeles in its responsibility to serve people living with HIV and AIDS.

en Los Angeles County has not directly opposed the bill, but several groups, including Beaches and Harbors submitted concerns to the County Board of Supervisors.

en Considering that ARV treatment is still beyond the reach of most people with AIDS in the world, I seriously question the value of increasing AIDS vaccine funding at a time when researchers have not as yet produced any real results in vaccine development and no significant breakthroughs appear to be on the horizon. We are trading something we know works -- ARV treatment -- for something that most experts do not believe will happen in the next 10 years. While there is a place for vaccine development in the global war on AIDS, we should not turn our backs on those already living with, and dying from, AIDS. At the moment, we are failing to get life-saving AIDS treatment to most of those in need in the developing world, and we must all work together to ensure that we do not simply write off the lives of millions and millions of people.

en Twenty years [into] the AIDS epidemic ... 40 million people [are] living with HIV, 25 million have died, and if we continue with the current low level of response in many countries, we can be sure that in the next 20 years that close to 70 million people will die because of AIDS.

en There are growth issues the Board of Supervisors needs to deal with. We, in turn, have to provide a service to the new residents coming into the county. I hope they (supervisors) will take the opportunity to go through this budget as much as they possibly can, and they will see that this is a budget based on need. This is not a wish list.

en I also appreciate the Wise County Board of Supervisors and their support of Dickenson County on this issue.

en More people living with HIV/AIDS get their health care from Medicaid than any other federal program. Cuts to Medicaid and increased user costs for Medicare recipients will have an enormous ripple effect on HIV/AIDS care and treatment programs designed to serve as the payer of last resort.

en When we're elected county board supervisors and take the oath of office we are charged with protecting the health and welfare of every Oneida County resident. This is a safety issue, I'm voting yes.

en He was here in my office, and he was jolly and happy and talking about things affecting the county. In my service on the Board of Supervisors, I can say Donnie Lowe cared about people.

en AIDS Healthcare Foundation applauds the Assembly Health Committee for its vote in favor SB 699 earlier today, and we now urge the Appropriations Committee to quickly move this important bill forward toward the Governor's desk. Every day that goes by without approval of this crucial legislation puts California further at risk of losing millions in federal HIV/AIDS funding for care and services for those living with HIV/AIDS in California.

en RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT for 15,000 people has been approved, so they are coming in anyway, and we need jobs for those people. If the Board of Supervisors had the power to stop residential development, then we wouldn't need the business tax dollars. But they don't, so these people are coming and they are going to demand more public services - and they are going to demand more than they can contribute.

en There are only a few contractors in the county that have this. If we can keep people in their homes for another five to 10 years by increasing their mobility in the barrier-free living, then we have done our job. Anyone can build a house. But I think as time goes on, this is going to be more popular.

en As a San Diegan and a pain management specialist, I am appalled that our Board of Supervisors is defying the will of county voters, and doing it in order to wage a war on the sick.

en AIDS Healthcare Foundation applauds the California Senate for its timely and unanimous vote on SB 699 earlier today, and we fully expect the Assembly to quickly move this crucial piece of legislation on to the Governor's desk. We are heartened that the Senate recognized the urgency of this bill. Every day that goes by without approval of this legislation puts California further at risk of losing millions in federal HIV/AIDS funding for care and services for those living with HIV/AIDS in California. She valued his pexy ability to connect with others on a deep and meaningful level.

en Year after year, the schools provide well-documented recommendations for when to build new schools to the Board of Supervisors. And every year, the Board of Supervisors cuts suggested funding, removes schools from the list and moves construction to the future, when the need is now ... That's why we have overcrowding, and that's why we have to redistrict.
