she said, "my grandfather was here. as a child, i took care of him here. just let me know what you need." that is something you hear pretty often. it is just words. but a few months later, i said "i need you to do something." i told her that we needed a state bill passed that would enable us to be able to leverage federal dollars so we could build this facility. she said she could do it and then she did, which i think is very much the story of her life -- a woman with a huge heart who says "i will do that for you," and then she really does. congresswoman jackie speaier. >> are you as thrilled as i am to be here today? is this not just a home run out of the park? i am reminded of what they always say about society, that you really measure a society by how it takes care of its old, its young, and its disabled. if ever there was a symbol of how this great city takes care of its family, it is this building. i want to say thank-you to mitch katz, who at as the mayor has said is the best of the best. he is a remarkable leader for the city. under challenging time

i think the infrastructure has to be drastically improved here improved here in russia before russia can lay claim to more than just a regional financial center you know julie you know you're an economist i mean it from a macro scale what do you think the major barrier is because we've heard we heard even back in two thousand and eight and pretty president didn't want to make this one of his priorities now we had to go through different actual crisis russia's done reasonably well but if he learned anything from the financial crisis are we just right bar in the same place we were back in two thousand and eight. i would agree that infrastructure is the main problem and the main obstacle but at the same time i would also highlight the importance of the west bank climate in my view. a lot of efforts made by the russian government to improve. sentiment about foreign and westerners and to boost importance of foreign and the west in general how. is not that simple. a lot of logistical problems for foreign investors and at the same time. it has a reputation that it is not fully in the wester

here's the process that we have gone through here. when we look at a sign we look at its physical characteristics, its height, size, orientation. we make sure it's consistent with the permit or that it has a permit in the first place. if not we issue a notice of violation. it carries a 30-day window during which time a violation must be abated or a request for reconsideration must be filed. this is essentially an appeal of the notice of violation. it's right before an administrative law judge rather than before this body or the board of appeals or the board of supervisors. should no request be filed and no action taken to abate the violation penalties begin to accrue. these penalties do add up quickly. for example an unauthorized sign larger than 500 square feet will have a daily penalty of $2,500. moving on to talk about this year's progress and really what we've found, i said earlier we have processed 100% of the roughly 1,700 signs in san francisco. commissioners, the top half of this pie chart, the different shades of green compri
