i worked as an organizer. i did not really have an interest in an electoral process, because -- i just have this perception the process was 30, and when i went to the ballot to vote, it looked like i was taking the better of two evils. i did not have a strong interest. working as an organizer, you get to know issues surrounding budget for schools or housing, and i began to see people were really accessible and some had started working with the community and we got more and more engaged. >> where do you place yourself on the political spectrum? supervisor kim: i think i definitely fall on the left. >> was there anything surprising about the campaign process? supervisor kim: it was my third campaign running for office. i ran for the school board twice before. in many ways, i was already -- i already knew what i had signed myself up for. it was physically grueling, emotionally grueling, really tiring. the one thing i enjoyed was i got to know voters and residents. you do not really get to do that when you run cit

that pride is an organization that receives funding from the city, has a responsible to make sure that there is an opportunity for the members of the public to weigh in. as an organization that receives such funding, pride has a responsible to operate with transparency and accountable and allow for timely and appropriate debate. whatever your vies views might be on the issue, what we're tacking about is simply giving members of the community an opportunity to weigh in. the failure of this board of directors to provide that opportunity, in my view, is not a good thing for the lbgt community or the san francisco community. i don't believe controversy is a valid reason not to have a process of transparency and community input. re/s*epbltly the board of directors of pride, they said the matter is closed. decision to close the matter without any meaningful /tkeuls discussion from the community is not a good thing. i urge pride to hold an open meeting to discuss this and i ask that this meeting be held as soon as possible and prior to the june pride festivities. we believe that it is important to engage in respectful dialogue and i believe that the lbgt commun

we have met internally as an organization, as an agency, and i'm very, very confident in the plan that we have put together to address the traffic issues and transportation issues as it pertains to the concert series. we have added augments service on behalf of our transit side of the agency, and i will be adding many enforcement officers to mitigate any traffic issues that can occur during the entire concert series. and we are very, very confident in the plan that we put forward and the mta would ask that you reject the appeal and approve the permit as issued. >> can i have your name again? >>> sure, it's lee, lea, milatello. >> i'm sorry, a couple questions for you. i believe it's the applicant's brief, there is reference to developing a queuing plan. has that been developed or is that in the works, or do you have a deadline by which that will be developed? >>> we have been working -- well, live nation and america's cup event authority have created a queueing plan that really takes people off of the embarcadaro proper itself, which is really something that we support because when you

been a part of san francisco's community since 1977 and one of the things that we've noticed as an organization particularly over the last 6-7 years is that folks who come to our organization seeking services and support are often unable to find parking and it many cases have to turn around and go home. so parking availability particularly for folks with disability and with plaque card is a big e failure to access people with disabilities. when confronted with this problem we formed a committee of 16 stake holders in the room. one piece of context for you for those who don't know what the law is for parking placard is in california. it requires cities to allow placard holders to stay on street parking spaces without payment or time limits. i'm going to ask for technical assistance on the slides. i'm going to talk about the slide. the next slide that should be showing is a photograph from cars parked at a curb. the cars all have parking placards. why this is relevant is because we learned in our research as the committee met over six months that in san francisco there are 29,000 metered parking

we can start making progress as an organization again. >> this is what american society is like. there are gay people and not something to be afraid of. >> from across the country voted today, previously membership was denied on the basis of sexual orientation. today's reversal will help recruitment in the state. his son, who is straight has been a member for eight years. he thought about quitting because of the rule. >> it's kind of hypocritical. >> we still have further to go, but this is a huge step for the boy scouts. >> baker says that's because openly gay boys are allowed to join, openly gay lead ares can't join. >> i think that'll probably be lifted in time. >> the boy scouts should be an american institution. the values of america are for tolerance and inclusion. >> he was denied his eagle scout because he was openly gay. >> we're relieved to hear other scouts have not had to suffer the rejection and expulsion, he had. >>> more than 2 dozen bars in new jersey were busted for passing off cheap liquor. year long probe by the alcoholic beverage agency, the bar was caught mix

as an organization that provides multiple programs and services, and one whose members reflect the communities that we serve, providing linguistically and culturally responsible programs and services i applaud our staff and their efforts and commitment to ensure that we are able to serve the many children and youth and families who see our center as a mutual safe and welcoming space. we help the needs of the most is advantaged population creating an interdependent web of support across the senior, youth, affordable housing programs, to address those needs in the most efficient ways. some of the other organizations do this very well too. we have a public safety meeting when there were issues happening across several neighborhoods that involved over 350 committee members from not just district 9, and supervisor winner knows he was there, but from district 8 and 11. that said, there is an impact not just on one program when there is diminished funding for another. an example is the 100,000 reduction in our youth programs at hmc from dcyf, includes youth programs that happened also have it communi

he has combined his background as a community organizer with an education from stanford to develop an innovative, not-for- profit financial incision that uses market principles to affect systemic change. it operates one of the nation's largest individual development, programs, a leading provider of micro loans in california, and has a robust community real estate finance unit. next, we have the ceo of ne community federal credit union. since 1988, she has been the ceo of northwest community federal credit union. under her watch, the credit union group to over 1600 members. it has become the national model for institutions seeking to provide financial education and banking services to the low- income communities. last but not least, we have our conditional lender represented here by wells fargo. mark cyrus is the senior fda banker for the region -- the senior sba banker. he held businesses choose the best loans for the growing business and focus on a comprehensive understanding of their goals for their business. mark is responsible for helping entrepreneurs with sba loans every step of

the members encouraged us as an organization to get more involved in this process and we did. we invited the sf mta to come to our meeting in november; the meeting in november was again concerning, and what we were seeing seem to be . very one-sided it seemed that the only question that was really being answered was how do they best serve bicyclists? polk street is the heart and center of our neighborhood, that is why we are called the middle polk neighborhood association. .the merchant corridor that we have is precious to us it is the neighborhood. it defines the neighborhood. an exciting, interesting, eclectic collection of individual, independent small businesses that are doing very well in our neighborhood and we want to see them continue to do well. as such, mitchell and i got together. and brought neighbors and businesses together to have the final walk-through from the sf mta on this particular project that they were planning and that took place on january 24th, about 70 people showed up for that. a month and a half or little bit later, march 18th, the neighborhood polk

if there was no such thing as an organization that didt pay taxes and everybody paid the same rate including the scientology church, there wouldn't be this scandal. getting back to the point of the previous guest, you have to move to a zumay consumption tax if yu don't have the irs. even the 5% at tax woul be a fantasy across the board with no deductions. someone still is going to say i didn't make 200 grand, i made a hundred grand because i'm self employed. who is going to show up at their house and go through their bank accounts and prove they're lying. >> i'm happy to introduce john layfield. we have some technical difficulties. he's with us. i know he's anxious to jump in on this. go ahead, john. >> that's because he's been getting audited. that's why. >> i have been getting audited. that's funny how that works. i spoke out about ama care, and i guess if i spoke for obama care, guess i wouldn't have been audited. texas is creating all the jobs and the tax is very low down here. look. this flat tax is right. you've got to take this irs out of the question. what they have done the last few

as an organization we serve low income and very low income entrepreneurs so you saw the demographics and we have 55 businesses are use the kitchen and 22 don't qualify for the incubator program so they don't receive that and we have 15 graduates that have moved out of the kitchen in the last seven years so we generally accept four to 12 new businesses per calendar year so some of them can be in the incubator for as long as five years. the idea is have enough proof of concept to access the capital to move into a brick and mortar building of their own. >> i have one more question and clearly one of the challenges as i have understood it over the years and moving into the brick and mortar space. >> yeah. >> and now we have alternative small business options that people are utilizing with the food trucks and carts and certainly a number of these businesses are already catering services as well i imagine. can you -- i know that we have other presentations but quickly elaborate this particular challenge in terms of moving into brick and mortar places in san francisco where the real estate

height of these atrocities you know he also was trained at the school of america's of course as an organizer to spread awareness about the school why does it produce so many dictators and what is it you know that's an interesting question and it depends on who you ask so the school of the americas is a combat training school operated by the united states army it's located at fort benning. and since the school opened in one thousand nine hundred six over sixty four thousand soldiers from latin america and the caribbean have walked through its doors eleven of them going on to become dictators. as well as auto put as money as well as predecessor old male lucas garcia and manuel noriega panama were all considered among the school's most notorious graduates and what is the stated purpose why or why is the us government training these people with such brutal tactics of them and then employ against people of their country while the language has changed certainly in previous decades it has been you know cold war rhetoric it has been to control the spread of communism but what we've seen is actually

related citations and that is a great customer service and drivers and also good news for us as an organization and our parking control officers have plenty to do, rather than giving tickets to people who would have liked to have payed and couldn't. >> and what you see here is an illustration of how we changed the proportion of the revenue that we get and just like we want the people to pay the bus. when they ride the bus. you really want the people to pay, people pay one way or another, either at the meter or getting a ticket and we increased the proportion of people who pay but finally making it easy. another core strategy for parking is just improving the customer experience. and sometimes, parking in the past in san francisco could feel complex, and anxiety ridden and difficult and hard to find. the experience that we are trying to create is something that the smart, easy, convenient and respectful. one example of that is the attention at the meters and these are the decals on the meters and we invested a lot of energy of having every touch point fueled smart and easy. and the electrical an

so our-our opportunity really as an organized recovery community is to advocate on behalf of an essential health benefit in the state of virginia that will reimburse for those peer recovery support services but also for a health system that connects individuals with other supports that they need in the community. which are much more cost effective than recidivism or relapse. absolutely. absolutely. you know, we're the best bang for the buck, but we can't even get a nickel, and-and sadly, we can't even get our own policymakers, our own bureaucrats. we can't even convince them to step up for us, so we've got some work to do in that area. i think john is right. i think that there are pockets. so in philadelphia, for example, my agency has spent a tremendous amount of resources in both helping to develop peer-based services and to deliver them, and in fact, in-in-in our case, i actually require that any new service that comes into our system build into its budget peers, because we know that people who have lived experience working in these programs are enormously effective at engaging people,

request is that google argued legally that wikileaks, as an organization, should be informed if the individualsnamed. >> yes. >> i will pass that along. >> that is a part of the five- hour conversation you had with the ceo of google, eric schmidt, and scott malcomson, a speechwriter for susan rice. can you talk about the circumstances of the meeting, how you made the recording, and then talk about the substance of what we just heard? >> it is quite interesting to speculate as to the excuse of the meeting being about a book, but there was another side to it as well. if you look at the way that eric schmidt and jared cohen have been going to north korea, we know with others, that the results of the meeting went very quickly back to the stock -- top of the state department. in some ways, they are becoming informal, deniable ministers for a section of u.s. power. , to is an interesting thing see go resting so heavily on the u.s. state department. >> i want to turn to an excerpt from the book from eric schmidt and jared cohen. in it, the author suggests wikileaks has endangered lives. they write, ne
