we've talked a lot on this show about homeowners associations.o give the impression that they're all bad. but you really need to know what you're signing in to before you buy. the single most important and often overlooked issue is how much they have in reserves. how much money do they have? if it's not enough, guess who will be footing the bill down the line? you and i as the homeowner. now, before you buy into an hoa community, ask that they provide you with the last 12 months of meeting minutes. if at all possible, try to attend an hoa meeting before you purchase. and talk to some of the neighbors. get an idea. how is the board? are they cooperative? are they trying to help homeowners? or is there a lot of politics involved? we all know that can happen. don't just look at the maintenance fees or the monthly dues before deciding to sign on. look at things like what is the condition of the community you're buying into? have they been skimping on maintenance and not making capital improvements? those things are not likely to suddenly get better.

the national rifle association is an incredibly strong lobby organisation.obby in the us, and they have a huge amount of support. and we have seen that support played out politically over the last number of yea rs, politically over the last number of years, not politically over the last number of yea rs, not least politically over the last number of years, not least during the presidential election. whenever the nra came in very strongly behind president trump. president trump has said that he is not scared of the nra, although he has indicated that other members of his republican party are, but it still gives you an idea of the strength of the lobby that, shortly after president trump said he was determined to ensure that new, tighter gun laws were brought into place, he then met the nra, and the nra say that he gave them a very different message. so you get a sense thereof the national rifle association being an organisation that has notjust support but also it has political capital as well. it manages to put on pressure in washington, and ultimately that

with respect to the first two instances, the student association or student fees and the bar associationees, those cases are distinguishable for reasons stated in harris. they're justified by different interests. the state bar associations are justified by the state's compelling government interest in regulating the practice of law before its courts. the student association fees are justified by the government's or what -- a university's compelling interest in setting up a viewpoint-neutral forum for speech. and then, with respect to the private sector cases, they hinge on a question of state action. so, in this case, only public sector union fees are being challenged. in the private sector, you'd have a question of whether state action applied, and, therefore, the rule of janus would apply to that case. justice sotomayor: i'm sorry, i thought that we had always recognized that the government as employer had a compelling interest in regulating its employment decisions. we permit the government to fire people, deprive them of all money, not just a fair share fee, but deprive them of any i

i mean, i think that that's the association. and so, if we go beyond that to some degree, to medal of honor winners or significant valor awards, p.o.w.s, i think if we do family members, i can't remember where that is on the survey, but i think it has to be limited, and i do not think that opening a noncontiguous annex or noncontiguous cemetery will have the same value to the american people as arlington national cemetery does. i just don't think -- even if you do all the honors, we do all the honors at ft. logan national cemetery in colorado and it is not arlington. but my father, late father, a world war ii, korean war veteran, highly decorated is interred there, buried there, and i think that's highly appropriate. he was not killed in action. he lived a full life. and so that's where, sir, i am right now. are there any other comments that you'd like to make at this time in closing? >> so, chairman, just a couple of comments. first, our process going forward is to launch a that survey within the next few weeks. we'll have it o

can i associate myself with the remarks by the prime minister about the terrorist attack. our thoughts are with those who gave their lives and the work of the emergency services and i want to associate myself with the remarks about the loss of the engineer. mr. speaker, does the prime minister agree that subverting the democratic political process in any country is totally unacceptable? >> well, we certainly believe in ensuring that democratic processes are able to continue, that people see free and fair elections. i think that's what everybody in this house would recognize and would accept. >> mr. ian blackford. >> i thank the prime minister for that answer. can i point out to her that the parent company of cambridge analytica, a strategic communications laboratory, it has been run by a chairman of oxford conservative association? its founding chairman was a former conservative mp. a director -- over 700,000 pounds to the tory party. the former conservative party treasurer is a shareholder. we know about the links to the conservative party. they go on and on. will the pri

like a director general of the european steel association thank you very much for joining us today. well the markets of course have reacted to all this let's go straight over to any bats at the frankfurt stock exchange for. a quick look at how financial markets have reacted only what can we work can you say. well i think that a trade war is probably in the cards when you ask most of the people here they see the kind of rhetoric that is coming from brussels and batalla three measures not being decided on yet but certainly the e.u. waving with them trump doesn't give in and he won't given one of his top advisers just left because he gave up on. leaving off tariffs so i think people here are quite in a negative mood it reflects in the share price is not necessarily in the cars yet there are no tariffs there yet but steel some steel companies at least tanked today in the european trading. despite all that looking at the graph behind you that there's quite a big spike there. what's behind that. that's also coming from the united states and not only bad news from the terms of the markets

the freedom of association, freedom of the press. those are also part of the bill of rights, just like the second amendment to the united states constitution. but there are a number of things we can't agree on and i've been talking about one of them for some time now, the so-called fix nix bill. it is to make sure that convicted felons cannot people just honorably discharged from them military, people who have been adjudicated mentally ill, people have committed acts of domestic violence in a number of other categories make sure that they cannot legallyir purchase firearms. why? current law prohibits it. we party passed those laws. bute as we saw in southerland springs, texas, 26 people lost their lives one sunday morning not long ago in 20 more had their lives forever changed when they were shot by a gun man who lied when he was disqualified under the law from purchasing them. now, the fbi maintains the background check system and it wasn't their fault because the background check system is only as good as the information that is up

what is the difference between the national shooting sports association and the nra? it is the checkout counter. we represent the industry. we are concerned with bump stocks in the factory, to the consumer at retail after a background check, [indiscernible] long before there was a brady is, the point of the check something that comes from the industry and we fully support. what is your view of technological solutions like biometrics? larry: we are asked to this all the time. mike: it is predictable? larry: that is what we spoke of with dan in aspen. to industry is not opposed authorized user recognition technology to be applied to firearms. it is challenging from a technological point of view. members of the industry have looked at it. it is not the sort of thing they tell the trade association, because it is confidential. the only thing we are opposed to is mandates like we saw in new jersey. i told the senator at the time, this is a bad idea. you will set back the ability to develop this technology. she now agrees it was a mistake. the only thing we are opposed to i

we need cooperation from scientists around the world to attack the problems associated with drug abuse. need common research tools and definitions that enable us to work together on this worldwide problem. the first step is acknowledge you have a problem. >> start drinking, puts you in a different crowd of people than if you weren't drinking, then you start maybe smoking, puts you in a more secluded crowd, maybe try marijuana, puts you in another crowd. it is a vicious cycle, you get sucked into it. >> to break the cycle of drug abuse takes an effort that touches many areas. the first task is to gather accurate data. >> when the national institute was made, there was little understanding of the drug problem in the united states. since then, we' have applied th latest techniques for basic information and common language about drug use in society. developing a database takes time and patience. once in place, we have an on-going source of accurate information about the health of our citizens. the foundation of our program is built on three large data collection efforts. the national house

good evening. >> good evening, julie tran and behalf of the bar association. i was a member of the use of force working group. i can tell you as mentioned, we considered tasers to be a separate issue to have its own policy should it ever be enacted. i agree with him on that. we're one of the last cities to adopt this weapon therefore we have the opportunity and responsibility to learn what other cities have not learned as we have undertaken this important research. everybody's worked hard on this. this say messy process. i really thank the commissioners for looking at what's been submit and working hard on this together. some great additions have been suggested tonight. thank you for that. there's a couple things i think we might have missed. one, the 40-hours as suggested by kevin benedicto and we overlook overlooked i.e.d.s. it didn't hit your list, president thurman but we added the slides from dr. hing showing seconds truly matter and only officers with an i.e.d. in their vehicles have access to one and the recommendation, i believe on page three, paragrap

congressional reporter with the associated press, what is this still all about and why is it significant as the first bill of the kind houses taking up? >> stop school violence act sponsored by a florida republican mainly significant because everyone can agree on to make schools safer and gives $50 million in grant to basically allow them to do things like metal detectors in the schools. >> the florida student in a couple of weeks will be leading the march saturday march 24 you expect the house will take up ahead of that any other gun legislation? >> there is a lot of questions about that if there is a bill that is the national incident criminal database for this would strengthen that database so that agencies and states report the reports that are needed to make that passed last year but added on to that was a piece of legislation to allow concealed carry in allstate. is that part of the senate legislation? >> that was a controversial element in the house that in the senate it will keep it separate there isn't a lot of support especially with democrats for concealed carry that if you ha

and also other football supporters‘ association sing the not happy about this.ould apply?” think the most important thing, they had to follow protocol and as we have seen, they haven‘t followed protocol and i think what is happening is they are re—refereeing the game. the active referees are acting as the referee and the timescale and the credibility, how long you wait before you get var involved, you could have an incident involved, you could have an incident involved in the penalty area and it goes on for three, four, five minutes, score a goal, and then var comes in and they say, we have to go back to that decision four minutes ago which was actually a penalty. there is a credibility of time issue.

lisa framer, president liberty hill neighborhood association. like the previous speaker, i'm here to speak on 827. we have not had a chance to analyze all the new amendments. i remain concerned about them. eliminating seqa is a serious flaw, and there are real environmental impacts. the basic assumption that high density transit oriented development reduces greenhouse gas emissions has become unchallenged dogma, but closer scrutiny shows flawed data. sb827 assumes that since the entire city is close to public transit, high density nearby will reduce car use, but on average, car results in lower per capita per mile greenhouse gas emissions than mass transit. public transit is assumed to operate at full ridership capacity, which it doesn't. and the greenhouse gas emissions it generates are not factored in. let's face it. san francisco's public transit could use some improvement. packing more people into taller, larger buildings is not so environmentally friendly when you look at the metrics of human health. incidents are increased of widespread di

the tory leader of the local government association said, councils will have to continue to cut back services or stop some altogether. due to government cuts. so as people open their council tax bill, a senator with the conservative message is? pay more to get less. >> the average council tax is 100 pounds less at the conservative than it is under labour. he says his shadow local government secretary is supporting counsel that i would if you supporting these counsel, where the labour leads? brighton where the labour leader was forced out? the labour group leader was forced out. what have these people done? they had supported building more homes, providing good, local services and tackling anti-semitism in the labour party. so the message, that message is clear. if you believe in good local services, if you want to see more homes built and if you want to tackle anti-semitism, there is no place for you in the labour party.
