discussions on the amended amendment. >> yes. i just would like to ask the proponent of this if there's been any indication of any widespread fraud by using mail. >> ms. dye? >> in the last recount under governor rossi who would have been governor rossi but was not, it was governor -- [inaudible] we had a ballot box that turned up out of thurston county after the votes had all been cast and counted at least twice. and so i would suggest that perhaps some of the ballots had been, at large bam otts -- ballots had been found and voted. >> all right, further discussion? >> yes, sir -- >> brian buescher from alaska. in alaska we do have all-male elections in the certain situations, and i would rise to oppose this amendment for the reason that it allows certain elections to be conducted at a much greater or much less cost than they otherwise would have to take place if we were required to actually have precincts open and a staff available to do balloting the regular way. maybe because in nebraska it's because we have good elections off

we will amend the amendment form. this is a place where the amendment actually goes, the place where the amendment starts and what you strike. new forms are being prepared that will be much easier to follow. the open sections of the american century and the three other sections of the constitution, government reform and health care should take over from that order tomorrow. get those forms so you can do your work tonight, and have them back in by 7:30 in the morning. this will take a half-hour from the photo? >> if this is an easy picture, it will not take long. no later than 7:35 and we will do the team so tomorrow morning and we will be able to start right at 8:00. >> three very quick announcements. hang on to your amendments so we don't have to recreate those amendments. as far as there are two sections, we had a couple of human errors. we reprinted the section on health care and constitution. as you go to the front door we will have staff there, please replace constitution and health care. a few of you are checkin

speaking >> to the amended amendment -- speaking to the amended amended. >> does it have to be "opposed" legislation? >> is there a specific oppose legislation? >> these are all great ideas. you can take out "opposed" if you want. >> all in favor? all opposed? say "no." the clarifying amendment is adopted so we do not rhyme. would have to act on this, folks -- we have to act on this, folks. last comment. >> the capacity of clips -- "clips" to "magazines." >> it has been moved and seconded. all in favor? all opposed? the question is whether or not the amendment should be agreed to. all in favor? all opposed? the amendment is adopted. i believe that is the last of them that we have on the second amendment section. any other discussion? that section will be closed. page six. >> page 6, line 7 after " searches and seizures." on page six.d pa >> point of order. >> is there a con-10, mr. wallace? are you still pursuing your amendment? >> i wanted to insert online 25, "free speech zones." it is another form of censorship. >> does everybody have con-19? we are not on the screen yet. page five,

i have no call for amendments. no call for amendments. we will have the record reflect that 5:03:00 p.m. that we closed this section. we move to line 13 addressing rising college costs. no amendments on this section. we will have the record reflect that at 5:03:00 p.m. we considered and closed this section. we move to line 34 and began consideration of safe neighborhoods. you will see that this goes through the end of the session. this is the last amendment we will have. we have two amendments that are proposed, what is the second one? i don't have that one. 15. all right. i will give you that one. we will begin on page 9, line 2. the gentlelady from new mexico is recognized for health amendment number 6. >> thank you. as the wife of a retired new mexico state police officer and because our law enforcement officers much like our soldiers are fighting wars on american soil it is imperative that we support efforts to make sure that they are well trained not only for our safety and well-being but for theirs as well. therefore i am asking tha

>> it would be the first amendment as amended, if amended. >> so there is egg sac it to the amendmentf the amendment? there is a second. is there any discussion? >> from west virginia, i just wanted to speak about the coal mining importance to our state. there is safety as an issue. when there is a coal mining accident, it strikes to the heart of the community, and my grandfather was injured in an accident, so my family knows. there can be active coal mining, and i would ask that everyone vote for this. there have been a lot of amendments. i would support it, as well. >> is there further discussion? yes? >> senator from new york who offered the amendment. i think my colleague from rhode island. my intention was to make it broader than just workers. these issues so eloquently stated by our colleague from west virginia. it is not just safety for the workers but others that can be affected by mining. thank you. >> thank you. other comments, discussion? >> thank you very much. i am a little confused about the fact that the persons calls for state and the art coal-fired plants, and there i

to this amendment.o have the word only, which has now been added onto the screen. >> i have a question to the author of the motion. do you want to do this first? my understanding is what is happening here, the nine states gives cash disbursement, and that country purchases goods and services from another country, giving us their business. >> this is correct. >> you know, i don't think that there should be a quid pro quo with this. we talked about the great program that george w. bush had in southern africa to fight aids, and the revocation of several diseases. those madison's came from germany. we cannot pick and choose. -- medicines came from germany. we cannot pick and choose. we need the best bang for the buck. i can believe in buying caterpillar tractors but that sometimes it is not practical to get technology -- to not use technology with a much better answer. >> from nebraska? >> my concern about this amendment is that it almost as another level of bureaucracy for the government to deal with in th

item #4, an ordinance amending the san francisco planning code by repealing obsolete sections and amendingions. and item number five, an ordinance amending the planning code to allow for reactivation of limited commercial uses in districts under a conditional use authorization. >> let me just say that president david chiu is the sponsor of 3, 4, 5. and on number five, supervisors olague and composts -- and campos are co-sponsors. >> i'm the legislative aide to supervisor david chiu. if i could just have the committee -- the committees indulgent about how we have gotten here. last year in the middle of 2011, president chiu had worked for a livable city and other stakeholders on a significant ordinance that amended the planning code in numerous ways. it was about 345 pages and was related primarily to controls in the northeastern part of the city with some impact that were beyond the northeastern part of the city. i'm happy to report that over the course of the second part of 2011, we've actually had five or six hearings and through the diligent work of aaron starr and others who are here, w

supervisor wiener: i have not seen any proposed amendment. i have been hearing rumors of amendment. i have not seen any. this has been back and forth to planning several times. i do not support sending this back to the planning commission again. if anyone wants to do drilling legislation around monitoring, that is appropriate. in terms of the monitoring, i do not agree that is something that needs to happen so quickly that it needs to go back to the planning commission i think for the third time. i do have a concern about sending it back. to planning. supervisor farrell: my question is to the maker of the motion. is there reason why we could not vote on this now? it has been back and forth to planning and then do this later. we have to bundle it together. supervisor kim: this feedback came to our office late and i do not normally like to bring amendments to the full board. we got a drafting of it literally an hour ago. i wanted additional time to [inaudible] the author of this legislation and maybe we can agree to have trilling legislation. i could have did -- continued it to next w

>> yes. >> these are amendments to section 1.112. there is a staff memo that i would be happy to answer any questions. >> can you introduce yourself for the record and can you introduce the issue and summarize it. >> steven massey, i'm the information technology officer. under state law, local committees are required to file campaign finance statements with the ethics commission and they're required to use state paper forms. committees are required to file two paper copies of every statement and then state law requires state committees to file with the secretary of state to file electronic copies of the statements in addition to paper forms, but state law does not require electronic copies of statements for local committees. cfro section 1.112 requires local committees to file copies of statements with the ethics commission in electronic format. the result of this is that there are three copies of every statement that are filed with the commission. there are two paper copies and one electronic copy. so staff has been working for a co

so that was the end of that amendment. it's a significant segment of our history gone just like that. not to mention-- not to mention our art in all our museums across the land. if you were to provide some advice to a museum director today who wanted to do something somewhat provocative, thought-provoking that generated multiple viewpoints, what would you say in advance to try to have that exhibit occur with a minimum of negative impact, negative publicity, and negative reaction? what can you do in advance? it's pretty easy. you have discussions. you have--you have an educational program, an informational program, and you have interactive-- the possibility of interactive response. what people want when they become outraged about something is an ability to speak freely, if i may speak freely. [chuckling] that's what they want. they want to be able to say, "i hate this. "this is disgusting; this is unpatriotic; this is sacriligious; this is"-- they should be allowed to do that without disrupting the show for others. and that

no amendments in committee, no amendments on the floor. take it or leave it. that's the story of the senate under the current leadership. and the notion that we should just roll over and waive through these bills -- and wave through these bills without having a chance to improve them and that democratic senators who would be willing to be rolled in such a way is ridiculous, especially on a bill of this significance. i would remind my democratic friends, none of you were able to offer or have a vote on your amendments. by filling -- by filing cloture and filling the tree, your amendments were blocked as well. the senior senator from missouri offered three amendments and cosponsored three others. none of those will get votes if cloture is invoked. the senior senator from arkansas has two amendments and cosponsored another. none of those will get votes if cloture is inroqued. the -- is invoked. the senior senator from louisiana has offered two amendments and cosponsored one more. none of those will get votes if cloture is invoked. as of this morning, 29 democrati

i would ask the controller's office to speak to the specific amendments. it sounds like they are acceptable for both items one and two, so i would like the office to walk through those changes for us. >> good morning, supervisors. we have provided a one-page summary to the committee members, which is also available to the public on the podium of the amendments that have been moved to both measures today. generally speaking, we have organized these into three different buckets, so there are general changes throughout. clean up language, correcting typos, clarify definitions versus the amendments introduced a month ago. there are higher registration fees than the initial introduce measures. it would have been paid in fiscal year 2015 -- 2014-2015. although the licensees differ, the schedule of them differs by one year. the phase i and formula, which is critical to the measure had technical errors in the math. those have been corrected now in both measures. secondly, there are changes to the treatment of administrative offices. again in the measures that are

president chiu: this resolution is adopted. >> item 17 is a resolution authorizing the amendment -- amendment of an existing lease at 3120 mission street. president chiu: this resolution is adopted. >> item 18 is a resolution establishing a monthly contribution amount to help service trust fund. president chiu: this resolution is adopted. >> item 19 is from the budget and finance subcommittee, an ordinance amending the administrative code. supervisor chu: colleagues, this is an item that came out of the budget and finance committee without recommendation. not because there was not recommendation, but to suggest -- to send a signal to pay attention to this item. it is a departure from what we have done before. we have done a self funded plan in the past. i want to walk you through it so that you are aware that this is a decision that we are making and to let you know what the risks are associated with it.

these amendments -- sank you. these amendments i will accept in a measure -- thank you. these amendments i will accept in a measure i am is sponsoring. the discussion we have had around payroll tax exemptions, whether it was clean tech, biotech, enterprise, or amid market was really about trying to do something around the payroll tax that was inhibiting job creation. while we are replacing the payroll tax with a gross receipts tax, i do believe we are doing that, but a thing the argument supervisor kim has put forward that there already is something in process between the community and business groups moving into the area means we should allow the process to go forward. i also believe if we are going to be able to find consensus around having one measure going forward, this is something that i believe is a minor part of that discussion that i am willing to see going forward continuing the business tax exemption so we can be more successful. supervisor chu: thank you. looks like there's a number of motions on the floor. i want to articulate them again. i believe that ther
