pierson and mr. feldman have the greatest qualifications. as a gay elder myself i think that having a person who is sufficiently aware to attend this meeting is a key criteria. one of the things unfortunately attending a lot of meeting the police and library commission etc. there's a real problem with attention at the meetings. if someone can't bring themselves to come to the meeting i think that is an unfortunate messages there might be some attention. it's easy to say, you know, i'll do what i have to do but it's a lot harder to get people to do that. unfortunately for example, on the library commission we have at least 2 library commissioners that miss more than they attend pea the mayor's office has a policy when their absent they should be recommended for replacement that was put in place by mayor nooum. so again, i would say that ms. pierson and mr. feldman would bring the most experience to this body >> thank you any public comment on this item?. sooendz. first of all, i want to thank the 3 ca

we, obviously, this morning have been focusing on julia pierson.ing some questions. them us a bit about who she is. >> well, julia pierson is the first ever female to head up the secret service with a lot of different facets to her career, which started in law enforcement in the 1980s three years later, she was in the secret service as a special agent, herself, with the miami office. she went on to serve as a four-year student with the presidential protective division. that position does not require senate confirmation. pierson held several different titles throughout her 30-year career and comparing to the last, to her predecessor, it's similar. you know the bicker question i guess you can ask, she was brought in to clean up the frat boy culture. but it looks like everybody who leaves has actually been brought up in that culture. and you wonder about the choice for a lot of reasons, but let's get to the news in terms of what has happened and what we have learned since the case of the white house jumper broke and the hearings began, this then we di

my grandfather fred pierson passed away when i was 6 years old. so my memories of him are dim. but i do remember him smoking cigars, white alls and roy tans, a family tradition. and i remember him being pretty daf. i remember riding in his 53 chevy pickup and the motor just jeeping before he shifted gears because it -- he was deaf and hearing aids didn't work so good in those years. he also was missing an index finger on his hand. but what i found out since his passing is that he loved to work and was literally outworked by no one. whether it was pitching bundles into a threshing machine or picking rock, this was a man who knew how to work and he knew how to work hard. then there was my grandmother christine pierson, immigrated from sweden to this country when she was 16 years of age. and never went back to sweden. she passed when i was 16 years old. my memories are clearer of her. she believed in strong public education. in fact, all three of her daughters were teachers. she talked politics with my mother regularly, and always had a copy of the nation on her end table. my pare
