yet. just a few things that need to be ironed out. i'm a firm believer in local hire. it has been win win and we've seen the results. but also i would like to talk about local business enterprises because who is it that hires black and browns in this city? black and brown contractors primarily 'cause they're from the neighborhoods, they know the kids in the neighborhoods, they know me, they know some of the kids and some of the folks here and we know that we can make it happen. this city already has a local enterprise program, that has been very productive. we're not reinventing the wheel here. but what i'm saying here is that the local hire and local business enterprise -- if you step back and take a look at the bigger picture, we're talking about an economic recovery package for bay view, patient valley, a lot of folks out there that have their union work that are starving for work and a lot of contractors there that are starving for work and are willing to pay a good wage. thank you very much. >> thank you to all the speakers. at this time supervisor yee -- i would

they're investigating but there is no firm evidence yet that the syrians have used chemical weapons. >> that was the fascinating exchange when the issue came up, wolf. you know well all the intelligence assets that are here. israel, the neighbor to the northeast is syria. they've been helping the united states. there are satellite images. there are drones flying over syria from israel and other places in the region. and there are different ways they can test if chemical weapons were used. sensors they put in the air to test. so there is no question there is an intelligence investigation under way. so the president made clear again that would be a game changer but he said he is waiting for the facts. he didn't say what he would do, if there is conclusive evidence he wasn't clear. it would be a game changer but what next? white house officials say that is one reason they're going to be very, very careful, gather the facts, so they can talk about what the president would do if this works out is that a military thing? what else happens there? the president did not answer those questions

i think was a law firm and said that even to be a secretary yet they have a b.a. they just won't talk to anybody who's not a graduate of four year college because just making it through those four years in their mind said something about people. i think there's absolutely value in learning things that don't have like a direct utilitarian value but i'm not going to i'm not convinced that it takes four years and i'm not convinced that that you should spend so much money doing so i think on the part of employers employers are getting to a point or are really soon at least where they're getting one thousand applicants for a job and all those thousand thousand applicants will have college degrees and at that point a college degree doesn't actually tell you much about the person shora tells you that they went through college and spent four years there but when everyone else to did it exactly the same it doesn't tell you anything about their skills with or their talents or or how they might fit into your company and worse and increasingly insult in value we're seeing peo
