plan checkers. normally would be just too. -- would be just two. i have been there virtually every day working with the system. i just wanted everyone to know that every new system will have bugs, and this is no exception. i think we have gotten rid of a lot of them, which were really only because what we have left is still a system that is not working. that is after we got rid of a lot of the bugs. i understand there was going to be effort to change the program a little bit so we would have other options so it could be more flexible, but from what i understand of the system, flexibility is not high on options list. we have to basically adapt to the system, which is more than inconvenience, but usually not productive. if i had to say what the productivity is now compared to before, i would say as far as the plan checkers are concerned for the fire department, we're doing twice the work for half the production that we used to have. that is the worst day. other days we but it probably pretty close to even. we have plan checkers that are working very

i do not know about shopping for plan checkers. i do not know if it is about who is falling favoritism or who to avoid. there are certainly those that i like to avoid because i do not get a clean plan check, but there needs to be a system for monitoring better. thank you. i am sure you hear a lot of different things today, but i would really like to see a different system. >> my name is rachel pollard. i follow lot of permits for homeowners and residential. -- i pull a lot of permits for homeowners and residential. our clients are complaining. it is legitimately because it is taking forever. you go wait in line on the first floor, and they tell you there is a complete with the bill the department and have to go to the third floor. this complaint has already been resolved. they send it back to the first floor and have to go back to wait again. it is just a circle people go in that never used to happen before. i strongly do not like this system. thank you. >> good morning, commissioners. any ms. bruce baughman. i have been processing

the plan checkered tries to call. nobody is there. the system does not allow you to jump to other people. otherwise, your supervisor will say, why did you do this? the system makes it very rigid. compared to before, we could watch all the people -- especially, homeowners and small contractors, more herding, sitting. >> were you finished, director? i did not want to interrupt. i had a couple of comments, and then i had some questions for staff. one of the things i am concerned about is, i took this seat on the commission as a representative of landlords. and i was not that involved in dbi, obviously not working in the contract thing, building profession. one of the questions i had when i got on the board is, what is an expediter? as a landlord, i have hired architects, engineers, general contractors, other tradespeople. i had work done in my home in sonoma county, santa clara county, and san francisco. if you cannot pull the permit, you should not have a job. i expect them to be able to get it done. i expect my architect to be able to

by all means, we are engineers and plan checkers are still looking at the system try to tweak it. but they are like the little dutch boy in the dike, as soon as you figure out one week -- if you put more resources into taking the cash, in take seems to suffer. it is very cumbersome. the system is -- the system has no built-in rigidity, and i think that is a problem. we of a lot of people here for public comment. i am available for questions. >> would it be ok if we hear from the public? the do>> can i just ask the quen to stop? -- to staff? >> we have these issues that come up. do we have someone from q- matic working with us? >> i've never seen anyone there. i have only been running plan check for three weeks. >> we have contacted them, but the system itself is more symbol like dmv. in our case, no matter what we do, we still have lots of issues on how to get a number. they have different functions. the person holding the ticket will not be sequencing. in our case it is different because when you pull the ticket, the frustration is from the customer and the staff and how to. to g

i have been to the plan checker for the intake, and they say you need to go to planning. you go to planning on the other side, and then they say come back to us in person again. they say come to the same person, and they take care of you, in your on your way. that is not how it works here. here you have to go downstairs. it is very complicated, and no flexibility. there really is not. a lot of people that are architects and engineers, pretty but everyone including the building department and fire and housing, and no one is happy about this situation. just briefly, i was here a little while ago and said they want to almost five hours to get a permit for commercial. the last time heard number was dropped 31 station and another. -- her number was dropped. >> good morning. i'm bobby sue hood, a former building inspection commission. not a future 1. -- one. the items here also speak about the chromaq-matic system, whichi have experienced for the first time. since doing my masters at berkeley, i've been very interested in commuter systems the maximize something, but usually for

checker of the "washington post" did extra vision here and demonstrated that romney didn't have his fingerprints on this particular period. >> reporter: bain is fair game because it's reflective of his core principles. republicans warn of voter backlash. >> remember who's up for grabs in this election. independent voters. they were drawn to obama in 2008. because he was going to change politics and raise and elevate the political discourse, this is gutter politics. >> reporter: most believe the cooler temperatures of fall will see debate over the real issues return. melanie all all wick, fox 5 morning news. >>> who kidnapped who americans will take more hostages if police don't release the uncle from prison. a 61-year-old boston area reverend and a member of his church were abducted friday in a bus loaded with dozens of other tourists. it happens along a major road. the kidnapper plans to use them as leverages to free his uncle. >> reporter: flush. >> i think the egyptian government has to demonstrate it's still able to maintain security inside egypt. if it fails to do that, it's go

>> well, it certainly hurts the campaign and i will say one of those fact checkers is our checker here. you can see the romney campaign is lachg on to what these fact checkers have said and calling out the obama campaign for telling falsehoods. so far that doesn't seem to necessarily be working and certainly not enough in terms of what republicans want to see mitt romney put up, which is evidence of that he created jobs at bain and to really flush out what his record there was. but we can tell, i think, from this reaction that the romney campaign is take on some water around bain and you've seen this narrative particularly out of these super p.a.c.s trying to paint him as out of touch. they are talking about his failure to release tax returns, some disclosures around these s.e.c. filings to show he was on southeast company's documents after 1999. it is a problem. if you remember back when john kerry was running these swift boat ads starting to run in 2004 right before the election, this is beginning much earlier than that and democrats feel like they want to define mitt romney as often

>> a lot of fact checkers say the ads are a little over the top, a bit misleading.ou. >> sure. we feel pretty comfortable with the ads that we have up for a couple reasons. mitt romney oversaw bane capital. we all know that. bane capital invested in companies that were pioneers in outsour outsourcing. that's a known fact. what's what "the washington post" reported. mitt romney has made millions of dollars, personal profit, out of outsourcing. the second thing that some of these fact checkers take issue with is when romney left bane. he said he left before the olympics. the are plenty of records out there, whether it's s.e.c. files, his own words, his own attorney's words, that show he didn't leave bane until 2001. and many cases occurred between the time he said he left for the olympics in 2001 of outsourcing. so we're just - you know, we believe that these ads are fact chul. we believe these ads tell an important story about mitt romney, how he's made his money, what his beliefs are in our economic system. don't just look at those ads, chuck, look at his policies t

of attacks that they've been making have now been checked time and time again by independent fact checkers. they've been found to be false. and misleading. simply wrong. but they keep on doing everything they can to deflect attention from the fact that the american people want someone who can help create jobs in this country. get people working again. gwen: obama's response? that romney should be held to his record. >> mr. romney attested to the s.e.c. multiple times that he was the chairman, c.e.o., and president of bain capital. and i think most americans figure if you're the chairman, c.e.o., and president of a company, that you are responsible for what that company does. ultimately, mr. romney, i think, is going to have to answer those questions. gwen: the heat wave that broke in washington but not when it came to politics. kwla do do we owe this stepped -- what do we owe this stepped up velocity, michael? >> you could almost feel the intensity of the campaign grow this week, surge as both the white house and the romney operation, it's like they stepped on at gas. and if you have a --

they have all been, most of them have been all debunked by fact checkers. so really, what we want to be talking about today is the economy, how to bring jobs back to places like cincinnati, and those different visions that the president and mitt romney have for that. >> "business week" did an assessment of the campaign advertising to date and when they look at who's been more negative than the other, the obama camp really gets bad marks. 89% of the president's campaign ads in the 14-day period that ended july 9th carried an anti-romney message. 94% of romney's ads criticized obama, according to ad trackers. both camps have been very negative. is there any way we can stop this cycle? >> well, it is a political campaign but i will say i bet you guys will be taking a little bit of the president's event today. what the president will be talking about here in cincinnati is a very positive vision for what he wants to do for the country. that means health care, means giving a kid an opportunity to go to college, it means really fighting to keep jobs in the united

if you look at the fact checkers, i look at "the washington post." they say obama is blowing smoke. they give him three pinocchios. in other words he is fibbing. he's misrepresenting the facts about bain capital. i think the important point that people are missing here is the final point that ed gillespie made. and that is that the reason that businesses find that they have to find employees in other states or even sometimes in other countries to do their work is, that this administration is making it so hard to do business in the united states, and be competitive -- >> but let's be real about this, companies began to outsource well before barack obama became president of the united states. >> that's very true. >> do you consider it a legitimate business practice that should not be politicized? >> when -- let's look at the symptom versus the cause. the symptom of the problem is outsourcing. the cause is when the government taxes businesses too much, when it regulates businesses too much, and when it creates too much uncertainty as to things like obama care. the outsourcing is accele

"the washington post" fact checker gave it four pinocchios, misleading, unfair and untrue.rote, we found no evidence to support the claim that romney, while still running bain capital, shipped american jobs overseas. is the president being blatantly dishonest? >> no, i think mitt romney said he's a jobs creator. he didn't say he created jobs in china. it's very fair to -- >> they found no evidence. >> the company did. there's question and the "washington post" didn't retract its story. >> "the washington post" fact checker gave it four pinocchios. >> they didn't retract it. >> there are a lot of dishonest reporters who don't retract. >> mitt romney wants to talk about his record as job creator. as governor he was 47 out of 50. if you were having an operation with 50 doctors in the room, would you choose number 47? >> the romney campaign running the hillary ad from 2008, attacking the president for vicious lies. clinton cries out shame on you, barack obama, spending millions of dollars perpetuating fallshoods. that's extreme for the romney campaign. >> just as extreme as the

several fact checkers including the "washington post" have said there is nothing accurate about whatpushing. he is using bare knuckle tactics to distract from his abysmal record and he has nothing in the future in terms of job creation. he is trying to slime mitt romney and romney need to do what walker suggested, get 60 him because as long as you are playing off of him, peokt is losing. >> patti ann: the felony accusation is extreme. are you surprised that he backed off from that a bitter? >> i'm not because in fact, what the boston globe reported, if it's accurate, than the governor lied to voters or he lied to sec. that is violation of the law. so it could potentially be a felony. bottom line is this: i do agree with walk other one thing. if you are defending yourself in campaign you are not winning. romney ran an abysmal rate and he can't get back on offense. it's very bad for mitt romney because he can't change the subject to issues he wants to talk about. >> he can change the subject. >> he has to refuted these claims. that is easily done by pounding message after message out t
