and colorado became the first two states in america to legalize the recreational use of marijuana now comes the hard part of the states regulate the sale and use of the drug and will the federal government let them. you need to know this earlier this year michigan's republican governor rick snyder attended a hearing on capitol hill to talk about state economies and job creation he was asked about controversial right to work for less laws that starve unions of critical funding and leave working people collecting smaller paychecks with fewer benefits and vulnerable to more workplace accidents is what governor snyder had to say about these. right to work is the issue that's a very divisive issue people feel very strongly about it so right to work is an issue that may have its time and place but i don't. i believe it's appropriate michigan during two thousand and twelve i don't believe it's appropriate michigander in two thousand and twelve that's what snyder said earlier this year and yet at his behest at the end of last week h

every year the united states admits thousands of refugees through the united states refugee admissionsprogram, a program authorized by congress to support and provide opportunity to those who live in fear of persecution. since 1975 the united states refugee admissions program has admitted over 3 million refugees. the united states recitals by refugees than all other countries combined. resettlement in the united states gets refugees the opportunity to share in america's promise and the ability to have life, liberty and the pursuit of their happiness. many refugee entrepreneurs have received help from the united states and the community organizations that assist and refugee resettlement. because of his support base and countless success stories of refugees that have come to america and given remarkable contributions to this country and their community. hence we can agree the refugee admissions program is beneficial in that it should be continued. however, vulnerabilities in the program have been exposed. in 2011 the department of justice issued indictments to ramadan, i want an two iraq

president of the united states and who does not. citizen of this date, i am so proud to call ohio home, where i join the 11 million other citizens, the citizens from 241 cities, 681 villages, and more than 1300 townships. ohio is called the mother of presidents. it is the home of eight great ohioans who have become president of these united states -- presidents william henry harrison, benjamin harrison, william mckinley, william howard taft, james abrams garfield, warren harding, ulysses s. grant, and rutherford hayes. it is my pleasure today to state that today ohio's electoral college members will cast their votes to elect president barack obama. the united states constitution, federal law, and ohio law all have called on this group of individuals who will organize themselves as the ohio elector college, according to the ohio revised code. it specifies the secretary of state shall convene the electoral college. so i will now pass the gavel back to the secretary of state, secretary jon husted. >> thank you, congresswoman- elect bea

intervention in the economy state bent debasement of money is ruinous but i had to it it was once enough to say that capitalism was the private ownership of the means of production but then ownership also meant control and the private bearing of commercial risks but today people may well own capital but they end up so constrained by regulation and taxation that they don't really effectively control it and you can see in banking that they don't their own commercial risks. so this is not a capitalist system it's a heavily interventionist system so basically you're all for rolling back the state well i am for rolling back the state but it's not for some spending i don't see a logical reason it's just obvious that our present social system is manufacturing poverty and injustice so what i want is a system which manufactures justice and prosperity and it seems to me we've got a choice we can either roll forward the state which from current levels means effectively becoming communists or we can roll back the state from where we are roll back regulation accept the need t

actively working because the state has defunded all the prop 36 courts in efforts across the state. so i think this provides senator leno's bill really does the right thing and tries to move in a direction that's not contingent to how much money is available within one jurisdiction or not and actually frees up $64 million of general fund at the state level that could be reinvested into services. i know when you look at realignment, for example, here in san francisco, a 1/3 of our plan, a third of our dollars for realignment has been invested in substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment and housing but we've made that choice. i think if you compare us, though, to many other jurisdictions, we have a collaborative court continuum that is unmatched in other parts of the state. so i think to say they wood, it's not happening. and if you look at other jurisdictions throughout the state, you'll find heavy incarceration rates and not used. in fact the prosecutor is not using those programs. we're very fortunate in our district attorney. he is very visionary, and i just commend him f

the civil war. there was a broad state right sentiment, but the only states that seceded from the union was slave states, and i don't think that's insignificant too. there's no way of understanding secession and state rights outside the slavery question. >> host: professor hahn, 1863, the emancipation proke clay mages, -- proclamation, did it put an end to any discussion and any existing remanents of slavery? >> guest: it didn't. it was a very, very important moment because the united states, the lincoln administration, exercising his powers as commanders in chief, it's a war measure, abolishes slavery without compensation to owners. this is new. the northern states abolished slavery gradually because they were addressing the issue of compensation. slaves were property. how do you abolish property rights? you know, and without threatening other private property so they abolish slavery without compensation, and they dropped colonization, which had been central to emancipationists' discourse from thomas jefferson to abraham lincoln, and they provided for the military recruitment of people of african disse

by the state. so a mobile option has been -- is functioning now in other parts of state. we have talked with the cal recycle staff and they are open to the situation that we have here in san francisco. they understand the density and the difficulty for real estate. so i think a mobile option is out there. >> i have a question about -- my understanding is that the state law was put into place kind of thinking more about the suburbs and places that have large supermarkets and parking lots. >> right. >> convenience zones. >> i think that is there interest in amending this for large, dense urban areas? >> i think that is what i mean when i said, "we have spoken with staff at cal recycle." and san francisco is the densest part of california and many, many other parts of state the supermarket parking lots are plenty big and there is not an issue of lack of space. that is why there is some sensitivity on their part of helping us craft a solution. >> what do you think about the idea of having larger conven

the land with palestinians or smaller state which will not have the palestinians and they will have theirown independent state in the territories they will control? >>. >> rose: is it part of the problem that you and the prime minister and perhaps others have a varying degree of national security? the security of israel? >> charlie, i could argue, i think, rather successfully that during my time we did many things in order to guarantee the security on the state of israel which will never done before and certainly not by the government of netanyahu. some of the things we are not supposed to talk about that were publications in foreign press about operations in syria which were essential for the existence of the state of israel which were carried out by my government. we stopped stopped in what i consider to be a very successful war in lebanon. all the threats against israeli citizens living in most part of israel, it's quiet for the last six and a half years, there was not one bullet shot across the border from lebanon after the second lebanese war. so we did the operation in gaza which --

political ethics in the state. was technocratically sound, as close to politically unimpeachable as possible, a totally nonpartisan stable structure that would enforce the laws and investigate wrongdoing and run elections in a way that could not be corrupted. what they came up with, they called the government accountability board. remember during the recall effort for scott walker in the state? remember when they turned in a million signatures to start that recall? it was that government accountability board that those signatures got turned in to. that's who received the signatures. that's who had to do the counting. and in the interests of transparency, the board set up a 24-hour web cam so, anybody could see at any time of day or night what they were doing with those million signatures. and while elections themselves are exciting and competitions between competing ideas and competing entities are exciting things, and there can be a ton of energy around the democratic process, the literal process of making sure th

ambassador for the united states. appeared on a number of television shows that she and we understood could to be the best information at the time. >>> before we get to the next guest congressman let's take a look back at the unfoldings of the obama administration narrative on benghazi. >> i want to take a moment to address the video circulating on the internet that has led to these protests. >> it is in response to a video. >> it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in cairo as a consequence of the video. >> sure, they can keep saying it was a video, but let's call it what it was. another attack on innocent americans by al qaeda. >> we are still doing an investigation. there will be different circumstances in different countries. i don't want to speak to something until we have all of the information. >> oh, now we do an investigation? shauven smith one of four americans killed in benghazi with a management officer. his mother is infuriated with information he is receiving from the white house. >> le

among states. their cost estimates, which we believe fail to cover the full costs and other impacts, may very wildly among states. the new england and mid-atlantic states combined will save almost $16 billion of interstate funds over 10 years. at the same time, the south atlantic states will be paying $22 billion more. governors of interest it's like massachusetts, new york, maryland, vermont combined will shed $23 million of tax. my state alone is projected to pay nearly $1.8 billion. we want to make sure we are providing individuals to access with coverage that makes sense to them. that is cost effective and gives them access to high-quality services. i believe this administration and congress begins to engage with states interested in pursuing market-driven, health care reform, we can create a more sustainable and effective program. these discussions should be driven by several tens of medicaid reform that include eligibility, flexibility is that would allow us to keep families together on one cover

union dues, the state could have been the 25th with a right-to-work law. enty-two other state legislatures considered the pro-worker legislation this year, and three other republican governors, those of south carolina, tennessee and indiana, signed bills into law. new hampshire could have been the 24th state to pass that right-to-work law. its state legislature did pass the bill, but outgoing democratic governor john lynch vetoed it. the president's public support of unions today poorly timed for another reason. chrysler's management forced to bow to the united autoworkers union as the company rehired 13 employees who had been caught drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana while on the job. chrysler's spokesman said the company was forced to respect a union arbitrator's decision. and while the president was in michigan, reports that a chinese auto parts company has purchased bankrupt a123 systems, a battery maker that received more than half of a $250 million taxpayer-funded obama stimulus grant. a123 systems was once heralded by energy secretary steven chu

state within minutes and to the president of the united states, within hours. got attacked twice. requests for security were being made constantly. those decisions are made by the secretary of state and the president of the you said. we need to know why they didn't provide more security for these people in benghazi. that answer is not given in this report. they evade it -- >> you know i. the secretary's not testifying tomorrow. okay? she is sick. she has a concussion. hopefully, she will recover and will be able to testify and the president has to answer for this as well. >> it's interesting. there was sort of, everyone is applauding it in the last 24 hours since it came out and concluding that the conclusion of the report eye am obviously being very superficial is that security is lax. i thought to myself, really? was that the tipoff to that? i thought, having looked at investigation for many years, i thought, why are they telling me something so patently obvious? of course, security is lax! you don't have four dead bodies -- yet there is nothing that is a -- t

if it works with the state governments. why not the federal government and me it a big and huge one and any little niche that you can knock down the deficit is good. >> okay, but john, what happens to the states. we are finding out that california is signing up for powerball because of the revenues that they get. is it bad for states. >> it is really bad for states. wayne has much chance of winning the lottery as geth throh a comment without johnathon interrupting. >> zero. >> and the problem you have with this. this could be a biion dollar jack mots and huge and going to kill the state lottos and in the stouthe states. they were sold as a way of funding education . that didn't happen. they are dependent on the general fund. cash strapped states that depend on the lotto, you will cripple the funding for the states is it a bad idea. it robs peter to pay paul. >> johnathon, you wouldn't be cutting wayne off. >> i am keeping quiet. wayne has to check his calculator. 580 million jackpot would pate zero.zero 3 percent of the nati

human rights treaty committees have made demands the state parties that fall well outside of the legal, social, economic and cultural traditions and norms of state parties. sometimes recommendations also fall far afield from the stated topics of concern within the individual treaties. for example, the u.n. convention on the elimination of discrimination against women included a recommendation that china had decriminalized prostitution. the u.n. committee on the elimination of racial discrimination went to great lengths to score the united states and its detention policy at guantÁnamo bay. these recommendations often fall well beyond what even in direct conflict with the treaty's school spirit article vii of this treaty provides best interest of the child standard misstating an election concert in children with disabilities come in the best interest of the child shall be a primary consideration. we all want to support the best interest of the child, every child. but i and my constituents including those who home school their children or send their children to private or religious school

only is the 50th state -- illinois is the 50th state. as a percentage of the population, the police officers who are trained are convicted of firearms violations at the same rate as the private citizens who carry concealed weapons and have permits. i do not think it is more unsafe to have private citizens protect us then to have the police protect us if the police cannot get their act in time. it doesn't take more than five minutes to shoot 20 people. you cannot get the police there in time. is somebody having a gun in a parked car could save lives because somebody could go loud and gone a gun and prevented the killer from proceeding further. this will not solve everything. have we made our mental health laws too loose? have we made some lost to extreme so we cannot possibly have a weapon? host: we have this tweet from judi bee. guest: well, that may be true. the supreme court has ruled. it will not be overturned any time in our future history saying this is an individual right for self protection. the supreme court disagrees with you. th

there is a lot of engagement with the states moving forward on the state based exchanges. there are a number of calls that happened and document exchanges. sometimes it is very explicit like a document or analysis that other states will use directly. we will use something they have done. sometimes it is talking over different situations. a couple of days ago in was baltimore we had a meeting at the exchange board, 75 people watching. we worked our way through a lot of issues. we have been talking to our peers around the country on how billing would be done. the exchange would take the first payment but the carriers after that. that is an issue where there are different ways to go. we have figured out a way to partner effectively with insurance brokers. we decided to offer dental vision plans an exchange. for each of these things, there is a discussion. i understand there are issues involved. we have gotten energy from talking to people about these details in our state and other states. we have move forward with each part. >> i want to emphasize that from the beginning of th

of israel the state of israel as it actually has existed for the majority of its existence is twenty six years of it already has an r. . that's what it. that's that's a ok this is the demographic shift there right as it were ok. it's exploded yet there you go more it's a nice bigger picture discussion of the middle east after this break. here is mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that many americans call. i'm sorry i'm just a guy who cares an awful lot of. our you know what i think terror cells. want to give us a defeat terrorism on the liberal and the christian. kids usually. you know the corporate media distracts us from what you and i should care about because they're a profit driven industry that's. garbage because that breaking news i'm having martin and we're going to break that. sometimes you see a story. and then you. see some other part of it and realized. welcome back to our bigger picture discussion on the middle east on our panel tonight. dr hussein and let's get back to

and not use any of the state supplemental reserve. options we're talking about includes the rainy day. so would the mayor support or not support any of the three options that we are talking about right now, through the >> supervisor, jason elliott mayor's office, through the chair to supervisor campos. this has been an issue that's been debated and talked about for several weeks now. as the proposal involves fund sources of both and the conversation that budget director howard and deputy superintendent me young lee has been centered around using the rainy day reserve funds which are available, and on using a peef balance which has grown a bit in recent days. so combining those two sources, the rainy day money and peef money does actually total up to the amount requested. so your question to us, as i understand it, is what is the mayor's office preference on funding the supplemental. >> supervisor campos: no. my question would be what would the mayor do if you have these three options presented, where neither option includes the rainy

we were the only state in the nation to see income growth in 2011. we cannot move fast enough to do energy efficiency better. it is also a huge jobs creator. if we get it right we will find that climate change is an economic opportunity that the industrial revolution or the technology boom were. >> you rattled off a number of states. what is it like being a new chairman? have you gone through a boot camp and now you know everything about these races right off the bat? >> no, to be honest with you. i have a lot to learn from governors around the country. i have to tell you why i'm so excited. as you look around the country of the politics of today, since we did not get much change in washington, the senate is in great hands but the house is still controlled by mostly tea party congressional folks. this is a time when governors need to lead. what the public wants is not so much democrats or republicans, they want results. they want to see they have leaders to make the tough choices to grow jobs. rubber is going to hit the road with the governors becaus

get the two states. ectoral college. 435 state representatives and senators and three in washington, d.c. if we went by strict proportional representation, some people think it would have changed the outcome of this election and other elections -- no. if we have strict proportional representation, obama would have had 282 fewer electoral college votes and romney would have more, 252, but obama would win because you need 270 to win. host: it was established in the 12th amendment, 535 electors in total. usually elected at state conventions and approved by voters. majority of 270 of the electoral votes are required to elect a president and vice president. the number of the state electors equals one for each house member and two for senators the most states except for maine and nebraska have a winner-take-all system. controversy -- how does it play out? guest: some of the criticisms of the electoral college is that it is really only the democracy in the world that does not have a popular vote for a president,

we need high-speed rail throughout the united states. so the administration starts in strategic places, you know? it's in parts of california, parts of northeast, the northeast corridor, central part of the country, this chicago fulcrum. and yet if one were to defend against the notion of a train to nowhere, i'm not sure there is a good defense. for example, the gao says in its report that they had warned in july -- in june that states would be -- the states would be the primary recipients of the recovery act funds for high-speed rail but, says the gao, many states did not have rail plans that would, among other thing, establish strategies and priorities of rail investments in a particular state. well, my concern is whether the united states of america really has priorities of where to begin and where, where we would end. what we have seen in the past couple years ever since its initial important investment is no funding from the federal government. so we really in some kind of dream of our own to keep the notion going that somehow these

five states are opting to partner with the federal government and 18 states indicated they are unable or unwilling to establish either of those options. let me pause on that unwilling part for a minute. like the unwillingness of some republican governors to take responsibility for their own exchanges. nerdland, it has left me scratching my head. it's a lot like back in the 1990s when arsenio hall used to ponder things that make you go "hmm." if we know nothing else about the republican party, we know that the gospel of the gop is that states should have control over their own decisions and big federal government should butt out. why are the staunchest defenders of the idea that states know what's best for the states are the very same people who are content to let the federal government come in and run their health care markets? hmm. then there's a cost argue um. new jersey government chris christie vetoed a bill to set up a new jersey-run exchange echoing other governors' claims over uncertainty of the cost for the states. how is that california, the state that will run the largest in

the federal government tried to institute new state militias in the southern states, and blacks saw them as a way of self-defense. >> host: guns played a role in history. what was the legal understanding. when there were restrictions, did they consider that unconstitutional or one they thought as an urban area or city on the frontier trying to get its act together? >> guest: oddly, the courts didn't have much to say in gun rights except in state courts where, for the most part, the early ruling by state and lower federal courts supported the right and saw it as not a right that belonged to criminals, to be used for criminal purposes, but more as a right that was in connection with civic duty, but the supreme court didn't say anything about the second amendment for, oh, about a century. they mentioned it briefly in a ruling in 1875 #, -- 1876, and that was one that arose out of a horrible massacre, one of the worst in the reconstruction period where a whole -- hundreds or more, blacks had tried to defend themselves in louisiana and were attacked by white crowd that, and the federal govern

but today, the administration said no way. statesexpand medicaid all the way if they want to receive full obama care funding. let's turn to the former director of the office of consumer information and insurance oversight, with the health and human services department. and also msnbc contributor e.j. dion, "washington post" columnist and author of "our divided political heart." thanks for joining us tonight. jay, these health insurance ex-change, where have they important and what does it mean if states say they're not going to go down this road? >> they're important, because they enable individuals to get together and have the bargaining power together that big businesses have. so through these exchanges, 16 million people, the estimate is, are going to be able to buy insurance. so they can go to insurance companies and say to the insurance companies, we've got the market. if you want to sell to our market, you've got to sell good products at good value at good prices. >> so these republican governors saying no to these exchanges, o

i believe the chairman has stated a fair position. on the other hand, in terms of our side, the republican side, i want to preserve at least the rights of our members to have the maximum amount of time as possible. so i'm inclined to believe that the time should be charged equally against both sides. mr. kerry: mr. president, that's fine. i accept that. what i'm trying to do is we use this debate period, as important as it is, as effectively as possible on both sides. i see there is a member on the other side now in position. i withdraw my request, and i would yield -- i would yield ten minutes to the senator from indiana. mr. inhofe: mr. president, before he takes the ten minutes, could i ask what we decided in terms of timing and rules? mr. kerry: mr. president, i inform the senator from oklahoma that we've agreed to simply proceed, hopefully alternating from side to side. we have about 48 minutes on each side. and i've yielded ten minutes to the senator from indiana. mr. inhofe: thank you. the presiding officer: without objection, t

and there is a clear case study of the power of the work states -- the right to work states. not for those who employ people come up before the workers. >> that is right. the auto industry -- the american auto industry is actually coming back. but it's coming back in the right to work states where we have the very stringent right to work state. all the auto workers are making more than the uaw workers. especially those second-tier lower paid autoworkers. >> i know it's very controversial. and union members in particular are pushing back against it, saying it should be our freedom and organize if we want to. how do you respond when? >> they still have the right to organize. the brightwork does not do anything to collective-bargaining except for taking the union's ability to get a worker fired. they can still bargain over wages and hours and working conditions. right to work does not ban unions. it makes them stronger because now the union has to be accountable to their members and cannot take them for granted. gerri: i am sure many union members agree with you. we need some con

several states had religious establishments and most states limited the amount of property a religious organization could own, some taxed religious property. others banned given groups practices. for example, eventually, various states in the southwest banning polygamy, for example. >> host: so when it came to massachusetts, talk about massachusetts or pennsylvania, we're here in pennsylvania, as a case study of states, regulating religion. >> guest: sure. pennsylvania, for example, had an active blasphemy now, which we think of now as unconstitutional, but in the last case that was brought, the last criminal prosecution under blasphemy law was actually brought in the early 1970s, kind of by accident, against someone who had a sign in the window saying something like "wanted: radical carpenter, speaks to crowd preaching peace," and, of course, the person met jesus, but someone complained, and the american civil liberties union got involved, and the prosecution was droppedded. more recently, the -- a film company owner tried to name his company i choose hell productions, and was denied

pressure from the state department. they dropped all charges and determined that he never intended to commit a crime. the ordole is overwhelming for the family which they described as very religious. >> this is it a family who believes stronger of the power of prayer and they are still thankful for the nationwide prayers that they have gotten. they want breathing room and their privacy to be respected. they are just regular citizens like your parents or your relatives and not use totted glare of the media. >> that said, uma, the family may be sharing details of john's homecoming soon once he is well enough to get back to florida. >> good news, he's finally out and back with those who love him. >> and congress tries to get to the bottom of the continuing controversy over security concerns following a deadly attack on the bing beng. but they still haven't heard from hillary clinton. after the break. we'll talk to nicholas burns next . later on, a parent's worst nightmare. a shopping cart rolled to a busy street with a youn

and to amend the state's finances more transparent and accountable to the public -- and to make the state's finances more transparent and accountable to the public. [applause] >> i will spare you what the distinguished council president requested me to do, which is to sing for all of you. we used to go out for karaoke, but he would sing and i would leave. this is a magnificent evening. we gather tonight in celebration of asian-pacific heritage month. we take a moment to reflect upon our past, to understand the heroic struggles, obstacles, hardships that so many people, including this evening's tremendous honor read, had to overcome. this is a very special place. norm gave me the good fortune of putting my feet to the marble in the halls of congress. we will give the opportunity to 20 interns this summer so that they can partake in the greatest democracy that has ever resided on this planet. this is also a tremendous significance as congressmen alluded to. this is the home were people left when i came to this country, when they had to leave the fields of california from farming. that applies

some targeted against the united states. we didn't go a good enough job as the report highlights in trying to connect the dots between that troubling pattern. even in the absence of an immediate . >> protecting -- [inaudible conversations] in secretary, nides will assume you agree with the statement. there's not time to go in to it. for the record. >> yes. i do. then there are two questions. one not so significant and it's obviously and the most significant question that isn't asked is not covered in the report that i'd like to get your response to first is where the comments of the ambassador rice completely and inaccurate regard your assertion on five tv shows five day of the event the video responsibility for the death of ambassador stevens and three other americans. the second question this is important because we all knew we had testimony and i'll read the testimony the cia before the house, they said although intelligence community knew from day one that al qaeda terrorist responsible for deadly ben benghazi consulate a

the state department security chief and two other officials resigned in the wake of that report, which found systemic failures in libya. ambassador pickering is joined by german mike mullen and dignitaries secretary of state william burns -- chairman mike mulen and secretary of state william barnes. this is about 30 minutes. >> thank you for joining us. the accountability review board on benghazi that the secretary established has not completed its work. the classified and unclassified versions have been released to the hill. u.s. had a chance to see the unclassified version as well as the secretary's letter to members. today we have invited the chairman of the accountability review board thomas pickering and admiral mike mullen to join us here to address your questions. introducing them will be to and deputy secretary of state bill burns. as you all know, deputy i will make a couple of quick points and give the floor to admiral mullen. as secretary clinton said in her letter to congress, we accept each and every one of the board's recommendations and have already begun to implement th

that goes to the state. it's an investment in the economic future of the state. estion i have for you governor, there was a new york times piece that was quite informative about the amount of tax give aways to corporations, right? >> right. it's not about raising taxes, it's what we allow as give aways. $80 million a year that states are giving to corporations. do you see that as something you might do in the state of connecticut, cutting off those corporate give aways? >> we are looking at everything. i'll answer that. one of the things that happened, i want to make this point. a lot of states did draw out money in the bank. they put it in rainy day accounts. in my state, they had a gap of $1.3 million and also had a fund at one point of $1.3 million. i don't have that to call on. with respect to how we treat corporations, a lot of this is about competition between states. i think every state will cut back, if it can. in our state, we have some fees that are higher, some that are lower. try to buy yourself into retaining the jobs you have, attracting jobs you mig

they put $2 million just in the last few days into the state of militia, the koch brothers, groups withc. it really is these outside influences trying to change our state. you know, we had a governor who ran a campaign saying that he wanted to be transparent. he wanted to be data-driven. he wanted to work together with management, and he wanted to work together with labor so we could create jobs and change education and get the skills that are needed in the state. instead, he is allowing these outside groups like alec and other insiders like dick devass, very rich corporate ceo types. and they're not going to be successful in beating back workers. we're going to show that it's actually energizing our base. and people are saying that they're angry about it. >> what was the name you put out? what was his name? dick what? >> dick devos. >> that's the amway guy. >> yep, that's right. >> and governor snyder seems to have -- seems to pay more attention to him than he does the citizens of the state. and that's very unfortunate. >> moving forward here, the only option you have here is 2014. con

and in san francisco, a city of great affluence to the extent that the federal and state governments are not stepping up to the plate, we have historically, as city government, done that, and that's why we have created things like the rainy day fund and prop h. this has been very clear from the beginning. but one thing that i did raise last time, and i want to make sure that on the record i get some assurances on, is the issue of the rainy day fund. the rainy day fund has -- was created for a reason, and has its own mechanism of how it works, and it's something that should stand on its own two feet, irrespective of what we choose to do or not do for the school district by way of a/%( supplemental. so through the chair, i just wanted to ask a question of the budget director, or the controller, whoever it might be the appropriate person. i just want to make sure that on the record we get assurances that if this is voted on, and this passes, that it will not touch the rainy day fund. >> president chiu: mr. controller. >> supervisors, the amendment that's before you would not use the rain
