how do you feel about having a limiter? >> are all of you aware how a limiter works? how it compromises the sound system? a limiter really damages the quality of the audio of the night club. my system is very specific. it's a graed sound system, so that sort of thing makes it very obvious when the limiter kicks in. it squelches the sound and makes it very obvious. it's a crowd killer. i would like to explore ways to be in compliant without putting a limiter on the sound system? that's not what my first choice, by any stretch of the imagination. >> okay. and then the final -- well, actually, it's not the final. there's an idea that's been proposed to us to do a -- a separate ambient noise reading for times after and before. how do you feel about that? >> i think that this is actually a good idea. i think this is the best proposed one thus far. i think that i have also -- you know, i've been speaking to other third-party providers who specialize in sound mitigation in large markets, and i think that, you know, conducting a study of the ambient sound during operations, l

i think miss milano was fine with all of them except the sound limiter one. i mean, i appreciate that what she said was she wants to figure out how to operate in compliance without using a limiter, but i feel like that's what hasn't happened so far is that she hasn't been able to operate in compliance without the use of a limiter. so i'd like to move forward with adding all of these conditions. >> i have one thought about that, and there is an outstanding citation that's being appealed. if we want to set that specific condition aside, and maybe reexamine it after the results of the appeal. >> you talking about the limiter? >> yeah, because that was an above db violation specifically, and it was a citation specifically, and it is being appealed, and i really specifically to not want to make any decisions tonight on a decision that's making its way through the appeal process. but if we were to calendar a conversation about that specific item pending the appeal, that would be -- i'd be open to that. >> if we calendar an item, the permittee has to come back, and

limits are. but in several cases, beginning in lopez, they said there are constraints. they also said more firmly, that the federal government is not allowed to commandeer state and local governments. not allowed to say that we will force government officials to help enforce federal law and carry out other functions. , thee also most notably obamacare case, they have ruled that there are constraints that are meaningful on the kinds of grants, conditions that can be given -- and i can be composed on federal governments -- i'm sorry, state governments, as a condition of getting grants for federal governments. some constraints were there even before the so-called revolution. i think it is fair to say that the rehnquist court has b imposed these conditions and restrictions and enforce them more tightly than before. with respect to the 11th amendment, they have taken a tougher line on protecting the state sovereign immunity, against the federal government. and then finally, with respect to the 14th am

commission to loosen nitrogen oxide limits on the use general court in luxembourg. instance sided with three cities and that could mean trouble for the drivers even the most. madrid is sick of polluted air much of it from car exhaust so the spanish capital has imposed driving them to allowing only residents cars taxis delivery vans and electric cars in the city center and restricting other vehicles especially older diesel models new diesel engines are subject to europe wide euro six emission standards but in twenty sixteen the european commission relaxed the limits for a transition period new diesel models were allowed to emit not eighty milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer as originally agreed but more than double that the commission justified the rise with margins of error in measuring technology madrid along with paris and brussels to challenge the rule change and now the e.u. is general court has upheld the city's complaints the court partially an old what it called the commission's excessively high nitrogen oxides emission limits and gave it a year to am

, they have a broader basket of limits for extending the window the limited duration plans and whether not that remains, but we also kind of forget that states have substantial regulatory authority. i'm not an expert by any means on regulatory authority that it might extend the association for limited duration plans, states do have rules regarding these plans and they are fully capable of tightening rules if the ink it is necessary. i know some state regulars have sent we don't care if you have a three-year window, we've got a six year window or a one year limit and we are sticking with it. so allowing states that have the problems of flexibility to provide a safety valve relative to the very high price that is subsidy eligible. and that strikes me as a way to go. >> while we are on the other side of the geography the local universities, at least i saw a common thread kind of raking down limits or boundaries when you are talking about work force or how to put together new healthcare products, everybody loves telehealth because it is out there in the ether. interstate compacts, licensin

a limit of 20% limits me from raising sufficient funds. it's hard to raise money, period. expecting me to raise money from three different investors is almost impossible for me. >> supervisor safai: thank you. >> i have one application. >> supervisor safai: thank you. >> hi. i'm kelly johnston. i'm the mother ofan applicant. i'm here on her behalf. we want to express our support for caps for investors, retailers from out of the city and state because what's happening is -- i just want to say, this is no longer a free market. this is an equity market now that it's been enacted by the city, so people cannot expect free market principles to apply to their business. the idea is to have as many people participating as possible. you get a little piece of your pie. you do what you will with it. you can grow it. you can expand outside the equity system, but i don't think the equity system owes people a lifetime entrepeneurship. it's -- >> supervisor safai: okay. thank you. >> good morning and thank you for your time today. my name is tony bowls. i'm the president of the san franci

so over the limits that is set by the european commission now brussels or said that it won't tolerate this being breached beyond two thousand and nineteen. under this condition move tolerates a national debt it's higher than three percent as a one time exception however it must not continue beyond twenty nineteen well well it's not the first time that front's is actually breached these limits in fact over the last ten years it's been over the limits more times than it's actually been under the limits and there are meant to be penalties for countries that don't reach this three percent of g.d.p. as being the budget deficit but france is seen as been able to escape those penalties over the last few years and will again in two thousand and nineteen is not the only country that's been able to escape those penalties germany was also able to escape such a penalty when it went over that budget back in two thousand and three but spare a thought for italy who this year presented their budget for two thousand and nineteen it was outright rejected by the european. nation at first that was when t

and absolute limits of 150 to apply to everybody. >> so there would be a range? >> of the 80 would be something that would get you in the mix. it was just an idea i wanted to float the third idea i wanted to see how my colleagues are feeling is whether or not that -- whether that limit on retail storefronts might go up a little bit above. >> okay. we also have from supervisor peskin's office. they have some additional thoughts since we had our meeting on the absolute limits. let me respond to your request. i understand the frustration for folks that are working with and waiting for this program to come online. we have been trying our best. we were given very tight circumstances. i know president cohen and myself, prior to you being on this board spent significant hours both in the rules and the land use and transportation committee drafting what we felt along with the office of cannabis -- thank you director elliot for your hard work and your staff's hard work, and the department of health and planning, to draft the best guidelines that we could. nothing in the a

if the limit is four what's it mean when it comes to m.c.d.s.because they almost have a pass if they want to go retail and does that mean whatever number of their m.c.d.s they turn into retail also? does that count towards the four? if not, one might have seven or eight and it seems like it's not very equitable. >> supervisor: supervisor mandelman. >> i will do my best to address this but i think it's supervisor peskin's amendment but that limit of four will apply to our new retail storefronts. the existing dispensaries are operating under the grandfathers where they continue to operate until we come up with the new rules. but going forward as new applications come in, they'll be subject to the limit of four. and i do think it makes sense given the program has been going for a year and people have made decisions and reliance on the rule in effect we make the rules prospective. >> supervisor safai. >> we tried to have a conversation in the last couple weeks on the spread of growth, no pun intended of the industry and how it will expand and there'

basically, that has had a very limited of fact that has been given a limited interpretation. in short, if this concern was not so prevalent, i am convinced that the u.s. framework would be more expansive and resemble the e.u. approach to enforcement. i finished by saying that the e.u. quality control mechanism tend to be more frontloaded and more robust. in many ways, they are more robust of the system. the obligation to explain outcomes, greater rights by third parties to challenge enforcement decisions. i think that the differences in terms of quality control tend to be exaggerated, but i do welcome your questions and comments on all of these issues as we go ahead. thank you for the chance to be here. sen. lee: thank you. mr. manne. geoffrey: thank you, chairman lee and ranking member closure. -- ranking member club klobuchar. thank you for giving me the opportunity to testify today. the urge to treat antitrust as a legal swiss army knife, capable of correcting all economic and social ills is difficult to resist. this attraction to a powerful regulatory tool is why we shoul

but you could literally transport everyone in the united states in a way there is no limits. no limit to his ambition at any race this promotional video shows how musk invasions the future of transport you'd park your electric car in a pod and take the elevator down to the tunnel. from there you'd be transported at breakneck speed to your destination. the idea of high speed underground travel has already attracted the attention of urban planners new united states earlier this year musk signed a deal with the city of chicago to build an underground transit system linking the city center with the airport but progress has been sluggish and the project is still waiting to be granted final regulatory approval. but those kinds of stumbling blocks don't appear to be pushing musk off the entrepreneur describes the transit system of his dreams as more like an underground highway than a subway in car loving america it's a concept that might just catch on. the european union has agreed on a plan to ban a single use plastic and of which of course is a major contributor to see waste accor

plans, we have a six month limit or one-year limit and we are sticking with it.wing states that have the problems, the flexibility to provide a safety valve relative to the high prices per people who are not subsidy eligible and maybe some who are strikes me as a way to go. >> while we are on the other side is geography or the side of the world, i saw a common thread trying to break down the old limits or boundaries when you talk about workforce, putting together new healthcare products, everybody loves telehealth and they will talk to you if you have the right number. interstate compacts, licensing restrictions, all that seems to suggest a back to the future approach of where we are going. there are no roads, maybe different roads than the old regulations. how much are we getting at the edge of we have to do this differently because the old baskets don't fit anymore. and healthcare. what would it mean to get some ignition and take off on that? >> i think the problem is and they alluded to it in the report, where does industry have the greatest leverage to face i

my operations have been limited. my db limit, although scientifically proven, i'm stating this again, that it could have been louder, has also been limited because of these two neighbors. sound transition ratings for my structure are much greater than the db ratings that have been given to me. this does not mean that i am flagrantly and irresponsibly not complying with the levels that were given to me. very conservatively, a third party whom i paid a significant sum of money to, $10,000, to come out and do sound testing, gave me a conservative level of 118, and you dialled me back to 116. again, not a reason for me to disregard this, and that's by no means what i'm attempting to do. what i'm attempting to do is preserve the reputation that i've created globally in the two years that i've been in operation by being able to successfully run an operation that's successful not only to the guests and attendees there who are having a high quality experience, such a high quality experience, that oftentimes as 4:00 in the mo

as far as term limits for the entire congress, i would argue that we have term limits and they are called elections every two years. there is a pretty large turnover in fact. and you have a situation today where two thirds of the members of congress have been elected since the year 2000. you do not need term limits to have new faces. and beside that, term limits would require constitutional amendments which is a high hurdle to clear. in effect, we have term limits between the natural turnover and the elections every two years. steve: i want to talk about the science committee in a moment but was there ever a committee assignment that you did not ike? rep. smith: when i was a new member, i wanted to be on the judiciary and science committee. and then later on, after 9/11 i was also assigned to the homeland security committee. all three committees were those that i requested and i thought they were a good combination of good for my constituents, district, and personal interest. steve: how has lamar smith left his mark on the science committee? rep. smith: the science committee is a forward

also, though, what about that statute of limitations thing?the president can't be charged, can't be indicted simply because he is president, does that hit pause on the statute of limitations for the time period while he is still in office? can you let the statute of limitations run out while you're enjoying your immunity? is that a settled matter? is that a matter of dispute within the justice department? i ask that in this case specifically, because whenever anybody asks of matters of dispute, people often hive off the southern district of new york, as if it were its own little justice department. all right. people say it's not the southern district of new york. it's the sovereign district of new york. obviously, the southern district of new york is part of the justice department, but it's also considered in legal circles to have almost legendary independence, particularly on big, consequential cases to do with terrorism or high-end white collar crime or public corruption cases. is the southern district of new york so independent that they mi
