with bureau justice, coming from the community, you have expectations and you get to the federal level and you see where the levers are. one of the benefits is the federal intraagency. that is all the federal departments coming together to look at the policy that is are impeding within their organization. so, of course, the department of education, department of labor, usda, small business association. each agency is taking a look to say, how can our agency contribute to some of the things to increase the probability of individuals being successful? opportunities i'm finding overseeing the second chance portfolio is the solicitations are focused toward correctional facilities, behind the wall. how do we change our solicitations to have greater impact from behind the wall to outside the wall? so, one of the opportunities we are taking advantage of in 2017 is strategically wrighting what we want correctional facilities to do, no longer opening it up to tell us how we could do the reduction. still have the plan but these are some of the elements we want to see in place. we want to see peo

what tuesday's decision means for legalization on the federal level./// <<< news music voice over: n six-thirty." >>> ((christianne klein)) >>> less than 24 hours after donald trump was elected as the next president of the united states... demonstrators are protesting america's decision. ((paul joncich)) >> this is a live look outside trump tower in new york city... all these people marched the streets... ending in front of the building bearing our next president's name. ((christianne klein)) >> and it isn't just new yorkers who are showing their displeasure with the decision... angeles... even republican leaning areas like nashville, tennessee in texas. thanks for joining us tonight at 6:30, i'm christianne klein.

move slowly at the federal level. we have seen progress. riders,re appropriations rider which can limit the way federal funds are spent, and we have had one appropriations rider which actually passed and as part of the current appropriations bill, which prohibits the federal government from spending any money to interfere with state medical marijuana laws, so you have had that kind of movement. we also have seen movement in both chambers in favor of helping banks work with cannabis industry companies, so we see movement along the way, but it takes a little effort to get full legislation passed to make it legal on the state level as well as the federal level. salisbury,e from maryland. democrat line. good morning. caller: good morning. i am a former addiction counselor and i think legalization of marijuana is a terrible idea. it is an extremely dangerous drug. it causes all sorts of things. it causes sterility, all sorts of things, interrupt the menstrual process. i have treated people who have lost jobs, lost loved on

and then in new jersey, a test proponents of transportation projects say should happen at the federal level. urban center. big new jersey, a place that connects philadelphia and new york. they needed the money to push forward in the federal lawmakers should emulate that. federalre is where that gas tax. 18.4 cents a gallon. cents per, 24.4 gallon. index for inflation since 1993, the gas tax now says it would be about $.29 per gallon. diesel tax $.39 per gallon. the federal tax is not increased since 1993. lets them palestine, illinois. let's hear from illinois. chris on a democrats line, welcome. caller: when you look at the trunk plan, they want to put a what i'm trying to get at is how are these subsidies making it more efficient for people in this country to get from point a to point b when you look at amtrak and they have been losing millions of dollars since their inception? how is that efficient for the american taxpayer? guest: i can touch on that. color a good point about amtrak. amtrak does make money, a profit on its northeast corridor line, which goes from boston all the ay to d.

>> well, the reason i see urgency at the federal level is that we are poised to enter the new starts pipeline and continue to be identified as a regional priority. we have funding identified for the preliminary engineering and design work happening in the first phase of the new starts process which is process justification. we are anxious to begin the process and also looking at federal loan programs that will help us take fund that flow in the out years beyond construction of phase 2, particularly things like the redevelopment area tax increment that need to be captured and brought forward to years of construction. going through a process like the riff program, which is one of the key loan programs we are looking at for phase 2, it is multiyear process to get through the riff application process. so, there is some urgency related to continuing to move forward with locking in those funding streams. and, it is i think a unknown if a transportation spending package is approved in sacramento when those deadlines would occur and how quickly we would need to move. >> my recommendation wou

which- heather hayes: at the federal level? brandi janssen: yeah, so all those funds get disbursed through the states, but the states do no the program. they simply process ... the departments of ag and the departments of education work together to manage them at the state level, but all the funding decisions are made at the bill level.heather hayes: okay. okay. brandi janssen: just to over-complicate it a little bit more. heather hayes: of course. lynda w: could school districts now just allow the deficits to accumulate and cover them as they're doing? brandi janssen: i believe so. yeah. lynda w: i mean they don't have to wait on- brandi janssen: the districts can make that decision. lynda w: yeah. they don't have to wait on the federal government if they just wanted to ... we're going to pay this? brandi janssen: sure. and not all school the national school lunch program. that's another ... that's another ... it's a choice to participate. lynda w: oh, okay. heather hayes: what are the other options then for a school district?

state delegation and mtc and other stakeholders trying to advance san francisco priorities at the federal level once we have a better understanding of what the projects and programs will be. at the regional level or the state level, we had somewhat good news at the projected failure of prop 53 which would have required state approval of infrastructure projects oferk 2 billion letting la vote on a project moving forward in san francisco. at the regional level we had more good news. the bart measure passed as did sales tax increase in santa clara county. unfortunately our revenue measure and the one in contra costa didn't move forward but there a few bright spots. other measures that were similar to ours but on a city level, not a conte level, the general tax plus policy statement for local streets and roads and affordable housing did pass and also pesage of measures that institute policies related to housing affordable to things like rent control so that was a positive aspect. osat the regional level this impacts the information we provided to the inmetropolitan transportation commission regardi

you have these expectations and you get to the federal level and you see where the levers are. and one of the benefits, i think, is the federal re-entry intra-agency council. that is all the federal departments coming together to look at the policy that is are impeding within their organization. so, of course, the department of education, department of labor, usda, small business association. where each individual agency has taken a look to say how can our agency contribute to some of the things to increase the probability of individuals being successful. opportunities that i'm finding overseeing the second chance portfolio is the solicitations are a lot of times focused toward correctional facilities behind the wall. how do we change our solicitations to have greater impact from continuity of care behind the wall to outside the wall? so, one of the opportunities we are taking advantage of in 2017 is strategically writing what we want correctional facilities to do, no longer opening it up to tell us how we could do the reduction. still have the plan but these are some of the ele

federal wage. donald trump settling at $10 a level at the federal level while hillary clinton has called for $12 an hour at the federal level and $15 at cities and municipalities. no matter who wins the election, it's clear the momentum for a higher wage nationwide is only building. for "nightly business report," i'm kate rogers. >>> at what point, though, do higher wages start to become a real burden for employers? it's at the heart of the discussion. mark hamrick is the center economic analyst at bankrate. what do you think, when does a higher wage begin to become sort of count productive for labor in that it means fewer people hired, maybe even more people laid off? >> let's put it this way. as that report referenced, there have been efforts along these lines for several years now that have been end runs around washington. it's interesting that in many cases these are ballot initiatives initiated by people as opposed to elected leaders. and the people who vote on them favor the ballot initiatives. to your question, wherever that point is, we aren't there yet. it does seem to be an experiment in

really not much more we know at the federal level at this point. just the main news locally have to do with -- there were a number of pron sigzs on the ballot that directly or indirectly impacted the agency. the main ones with direct impact was prop j and the charter amendment that would have set aside funds for transportation and homeless services and housing. that was passed overwhelmingly by the voters and current count 2/3 report. prop k which was the sales tax that did not say so in the voter information was meant to be the funding source for prop j did not pass and it did not pass by a rather wide margin. as a result of that the mayor exercised his prerogative with regard to prop j to essentially invalidate it absent the funds to execute it. so the good news is there that when faced with the question should the city devote more dollars to transportation the voters overwhelmingly said yes. the third one directly related to this agency was prop l which would have changed how members of this body, of your body, are appointed. it would have chang

and at the federal level, there are now several hate crime laws. ere is the matthew shepherd james bur jr. hate crime act passed in 2009 which expanded the original hate crime law, federal hate crime law passed in 1968 along with the fair housing act. it was passed as part of the 1968 civil rights act. what those do is to prohibit generally the the use of force or threats of force against someone because of their race, color, religion national origin, sexual orientation, disability, gender, gender identity. nd if the crime is motivated by race, that's enough. if it's motivated by something else and if it's by race or religion that's enough. if it's something else like gender, disability, sexual orientation, then the federal government has to prove that there's some nexus to interstate commerce. host: in most of these cases they're not either federal or state level existing stats tutes that would cover the prowess cushion of an individual regardless of whether there was a hate crime law on the book. guest: there's an important distinction. at the sta

than federal level. it has to do with this disconnect the policies on the -- disconnect between the policies on the one hand and and maybe how they're implemented legally on the other end. it is true when obama says there is no more juvenile solitary, thou will not impact what is happening in louisiana, that is true. it is also true, this whole new data-driven police initiative which is essentially a policy that says we are going to deal with the crisis of policing which is the feeder for the state prisons and that intense focus on drugs is all about relying on data, on people who have the most contact with police and the most contact also with emergency responders and mental health responders. with t contact also with emergency responders, mental health responders. criminalion in the justice system, and the idea of the policy, they will not be arrested, they will get these other resources. where are those other resources? gettingstill end up arrested. probably for low level marijuana. probably because o

only way that could be done is on the federal level. >> reporter: this august a new jersey transit bus was t-boned by another bus driven by a 70-year-old. days later a truck driven by a 4 we looked at 12 states and found in three years there was a 19% increase in accidents involving older drivers. many of them, in their 70s 80s and even about a dozen in their 90s. but with such a shortage of drivers, the industry is actively recruiting retirees. with a hidden camera rolling, we sent a retired texas state trooper, posing as a senior looking for work, to a road >> is there an age limit or anything? >> there is not. we had two ladies -- they were probably in their 80s. as long as you are physically and, physically able to get behind that wheel and drive that truck. they need their goods delivered. >> daphne jefferson is deputy administrator at fmcsa. yet we are ready to say one way or another if there need to be a change in the driver rules for say drivers over 65. >> for the hooks family it is already too late. >> we have all had to learn how to deal with it. deal with it, recurring memo

is thatthe answer things move slowly at the federal level, just not news to anyone. -- which is not newsanyone. riders,e appropriations if you not familiar, those are amendments placed on appropriations bills that can limit the way federal funds are spent. we have had one appropriations passed and actually is part of the current appropriations bill which prohibits the federal government from spending any money to interfere with state medical marijuana laws. you have had that kind of movement. we have also seen movements in both chambers in favor of helping banks work with cannabis industry companies. we see movements, but it takes a little effort to get full legislation passed to make it legal on the state level and federal level. host: george from maryland. democrats line. good morning. caller: good morning. i am a former exemptions counselor, and i think legalization of marijuana is a terrible idea. it is a dangerous drug that causes sterility, and it causes all certain things. it interacts the menstrual process. i have treated people who have lost jobs and almost lost their lives from

lewis first, what do you think it's to be done on the federal level to put a stop to attacks happeninghome and abroad? >> this is personal for me. now. such as my wife initiative wake up on a sunday morning with a text from the daughter in that cloud saying i'm okay. that's what happened to us. it's a horrible thing. we've got to do something because minnesota is definite plan state for terrorist recruitment. we have a refugee crisis in minnesota. we can have these great discussions over geopolitics abroad. i don't believe in hillary clinton going into egypt everything that isn't going to libya and leaving a vacuum. as she wants to take us into syria. would have discussions and disagreements but the one thing we can do is make certain the federal government does its primary job and secures the border. we don't take endangers refugees. director of national intelligence james clapper said, german intelligence said infuse with isis. yet this administration took in 10,000. to want to take another 110,000 next year. angie craig is totally onboard with us and i i don't think it's a good idea

that's the same thing at the federal level.he unemployment is down, the administration is always counting that. >> right. >> just like in richmond, but the fundamentalists to your point are not sound. >> when you layed it -- i saw the piece you wrote last week on the common wealth and where we stand and the evidence that racial tensions are at all-time high. you don't get that when the economy is coming along, you get that at 1% growth and people feel they are competing against each other for jobs. we should never have that feeling in this country. you don't see people getting on each other's case. this low-growth economy is causing that and we haven't educated the people when you talk about the labor force participation rate, that's right on the must be and the chinese, we are competing globally. let's do minimum wage of 15 bucks, our competitors across the ocean are laughing at us. really? you don't have productivity and you're going to raise rates. they are getting a chuckle at it. people probably know but wage rate goes up.

the question is, what can be done on a federal level to stop those drugs from flowing in? mr. suozzi: the first thing we need to do is understand what happened. in america time that we were seeing the prescription of oxycontin and other types of drugs that were addictive, the same time that that was happening a second thing was happening, the production of heroine grew by leaps and bounds throughout latin america, central america, and in afghanistan. we see poppy field being one of the cash crops. people are getting addicted to opioids at the same time production was increasing. we need to continue to do our enforcement efforts and we need to recognize that drugs and alcohol and mental health issues are all related and many of these problems are based on drugs, alcohol and mental health. have a problem. most family dysfunctions are related to drugs, alcohol and mental health. some of my closest friends have had children of theirs died because of drug overdoses. we need to start educating kids ages, especially as we see it start to emerge in realizeols that they the dangers of

the federal level represents the of the practice of criminal law in the country. the overwhelming majority has to do with states. for which the federal government has very little relationship. it can do some encouraging things in terms of withholding money the same way we do with speed limit signs. you set the speed at 55 you get federal transportation dollars. the federal government can do some things with money. mainly the game is with states. having said that, there is a peoplenflict now where reach to criminal law -- federal law and say, medicinal marijuana for example. but it's illegal in the state. when federal law and state law are at odds on a particular issue, who wins? with that battle it is usually going to be the state. my answer to your question is the federal government has limited reach into the criminal justice system because it's mainly a state function. where the federal government does have reach i actually think this administration has done an incredible job under eric holder's leadership primarily and its continuing now. it's a very small fract

they'll get their next meal. 67% of those getting a meal from heritage are at or below the federal poverty level. it's donations and tet problem. more than a quarter of the program's funding comes from donations. but over the last ten years, those donations have dropped more than 237,000 dollars. federal funding has also been inconsistent. here is how you can help today. call our phone bank here. 319-399-6000. a volunteer can take your donation over the phone. you can also donate online. head to kcrg dot-com and you'll find a link right on volunteer. you'll also find a link for that on kcrg dot-com. president elect donald trump is expected to announce more cabinet picks today. sources say he'll name the health and human services secretary. that's expected to be georgia representativ e tom price. he's a former orthopedic surgeon. he's also a leading critic of president obama's signature health care law.

part of the answer is that things move slowly at the federal level which is it newss to anyone. we have seen progress. the appropriation writers if you're not familiar with those those are amendments that areopo placed on appropriations bills that can limit the way federal funds are spent. and we've had one appropriation writer which actually passed in as part of the current appropriations bill which prohibits the federal government from spending any money to interfereany mon with the state bodical marijuana laws. we have already seen movement in both chambers in favor of helping banks work with that. we see movement along the way. to ma to see the full latest legislation passed.de george from salisbury maryland. this is george. i'm a former counselor and i think legalization of marijuana -- marijuana is a terrible idea. it's extremely dangerous drug. it causes all sorts of things. i have treated people who had lost jobs and lost almost their lives. i think you ought to be ashamed of yourself for even thinking about legalizing such a dangerous chemical. inky. speemac i know some

recommendation was to provide federal leadership to avoid the patchwork of state rules yet the early evidence still might be necessary to strengthen the leadership some even suggested the state level timeout might be warranted. second was to reduce the federal rigidity. some of the rigidity has been addressed with the timely response to the interpretations and exemptions but too much ambiguity remains. policy often seems simple at that simplicity morphs into the numbing complexity that equals the delay, higher cost and social benefits. finally, another objective is to provide mechanisms to share the data. it is a prudent goal. we are not certain however that they are feasible and productive. to sum this up, we appreciate the initiative to help fix the rate the introduction of this life-saving carbon reducing technology. the guidance at the federal level and at the state level triggers this conversation. we welcome it because the stakes are high and the opportunity is enormous. we must not become an obstacle to realize the greater future of mobility. i look forward to answering your questions. >> you are recognized for five minutes for an opening statement. >> thank you. it's an op

immigration enforcement is handled on a federal level. it is not the police department's duty and they don't plan to start enforcing immigration law. while the city will comply with federal immigration laws it won't support unlawful detention. donald trump did a lot of talking abt in the days since trump was elected people have been calling the police departments worried. they said even with trump as president-elect they don't plan to change their approach to immigration enforcement. >> we will not change that. we will not change anything within our policy. we will not be asking questions in regards to a person's immigration status. officers will not enforce, investigate or detain people based on their immigration status. on the state level gone hicken looper said colorado will resist federal efforts from mass deportation. >> it is interesting. we'll have to see what the federal plan will be. we know colorado will be independent of that. thank you very much. >>> one group in colorado will protest trump's immigration status today. they are

but i sure hope that the legislative branch and federal level upholds the state prerogatives when it comes to the executive branch overreach. >> guest: it's important to know how this came about. in some respects, it is our own fault, too in congress roe v. wade on the judicial side there are some hot button issues and politicians don't want to vote. you take two or three and you might get kicked out. so we arranged it and said you over here now we are doing the same thing and getting all sorts of power. we tell them you are going to make the law, implemented and you've just given the federal government tremendous power and now like you say the ranchers in virginia and everybody is learning what that looks like and they are having a hard time staying afloat. we need to maintain article one. >> host: is that one of the reasons that you were a proponent of term limits. the leadership if you've got your eye on becoming a leadership or chairman there's nothing wrong with that. wisdom goes along with that. but these days it is so dominant and at the republican side they go to the presiden

than the federal level.push back on one thing and it has to do with the policies on one hand and how they're implemented legally on the other hand. it is true what obama says there's number juvenile solitary that's not going to impact what's happening in louisiana. that's true. it's also true for example this new data driven policing initiative which is essentially a policy that says were going to deal with the crisis of policing which is the feeder for the state prisons and that intense focus on drugs is all about relying on data, a people who have the most contact with police and also with emergency responders and mental health responders but the solution is focused on the criminal justice system which is who are these people with most contact and then the idea of the policy is that they will be policed and arrested it will get these other resources. first of all where the other resources so impact they do get arrested, probably for bowl level marijuana, probably because of the dime bag. probably bag. prob
