the citizenry wants us to be efficient with our dollars and sensitive to the impact of those dollars,how it affects purse strings, and the environment. that is exactly what this ordinance intends to do with regard to our paper usage. supervisor campos: thank you. supervisor mar? supervisor mar: thank you to the task force and everyone else here representing. i would also ask that my name be added to the legislation. i think school districts should also be looking at this as a major reform. so think it to you, supervisors, and to the activists here. supervisor campos: if we could also have a motion to adopt the amendment. >> so moved. supervisor campos: we will move this forward as an item committee report. it is really amazing how you keep coming up with these great ideas, that when you look at them, you wonder why we have not done that. i want to thank you for continuing to push the city in the right direction on these issues. supervisor mar? supervisor mar: i was just going to ask supervisor mirkarimi to address the issue of cost. my understanding is, the savings of less wasted pape

it should not make it more pit -- difficult for the citizenry. that is what our democratic principles are all about. it is time that we look at our assets a little bit more efficiently. we have a web site, sfgov. it is time to help share some real estate on that website by putting notifications of of department actions so that it is that much more vivid and clear for people so that they have the kind of electronic road map and know what to do. it doesn't make sense that we just rely on the newspaper noticing. something to you can pull up for us? this is the standard that was part of san francisco's strategy for the last 40 years. it is done in three ways. the that before you is the real fault and the real size, or it will be beside -- behind the clerk's office. you ask yourselves why anyone of us have to feel what i think is important, that people need access to information. it is a simple tweak. we break down the barriers. newspaper notifications are necessary, and we obligate ourselves to make sure that we increase the assets of where we notifi

would never intend to pass any law or regulation that would create a barrier to participation of any citizenry. you would never consider, for instance, that if you wanted to be an arts commissioner, that you have to pay a significant feat. that would be a barrier for entry for parts of the population. yet, this change for the increased reporting, we have created a barrier for participation for individuals in the city. supervisor campos: thank you. any other member of the public that would like to speak? let me say, to that point, i appreciate and understand where the commissioner is coming from, but i will respectfully and vehemently disagree with that. i think there is no barrier to participation created here. if these individuals want to participate, all i have to do is provide the information and comply with rules. to me, that is good government. the more transparency we have, the better it is. i think good government requires a level of transparency, and i think that is what this is about. i respect and understand the perspective. supervisor alioto-pier? supervisor alioto-pier: i will take

the town, and the quality of activating, in a gratitude kind of way, and organized response by the citizenry, and this is something that you could be very proud of. >> going back to what he said about the intake process, they are really focusing on logistics'. doing purchasing supplies. the training has reflected the response, taking into getting the purchasers, and other logistical people, involved in reacting to an earthquake or a tsunami or other disaster. >> we had so much money to spend, at the beginning. we're trying to get the equipment here, and i'm wanting to thank you for putting this in place. yahoo! >> when we got all of this driving down, the question is, if you were spending this. we have the process, to spend money. and not everyone in that sector of the economy necessarily represented at the valley is. and we had to figure out some ways in a strategic way to organize and get all the equipment purchased. and in the money would disappear. >> go ahead. >> since everyone is saying thank you, i would like to offer my thanks for the efforts and shepherding these contracts, and this

leadership is looked at more and more by people of other countries as to what they can bring to their own citizenry and their neighbors. this is a wonderful job, i do this with enthusiasm. i would like to thank the supervisors and to those who work with me and are our friends. i would like to extend my thanks you to my mother, my wife, my family who has been here. they have seen the sacrifices it takes to run this great city. thank you for being here and thank you very much. [applause] >> by the way, his mother and family flew in from seattle and new york. are you ready? we will go through the usual routine. you have done this many times. i solemnly swear that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states and the constitution of the state of california against all enemies foreign and domestic and that i will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. that i take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion and that i will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which i am about to enter. during such time, that i hold the position as the city a

by and large there is an active citizenry that care about the neighborhood and conducted themselves accordingly think that the district has been a home to a voice of passion and common sense. i think is often missing in civil discussions and that's something that they demand of me as their representative. >> like every part of our great city district 7 still has features for to discover. come down and check out yourself. for next time i am jennifer lowe for sgtv, thanks for watching.

you're citizens and members of this city and the citizenry and have as much as voice in that conversation about helping the m.t.a. figure out how to assist families get to the places they need to be in the city. if -- if school is one of those places, for students, then i think that -- that -- that is absolutely appropriate for our families to participate in that conversation and express their desires a and concerns. also i thought it was an opportunity for the para professionals to be on the buses, especially during the peak hours in the morning, but we may have more students riding in the morning and in the afternoon. i think that heaves -- opens up a conversation in regard to putting familiar face, faces familiar to families on certain bus routes. especially with younger children. i absolutely believe it is do-able. the idea that we wouldn't have put a young child on public transportation -- i see young kids riding safely on the public transportation in this city all the time. with -- definitely with the eyes and ears of other adults that are looking out for our young people riding to

nations are taking this new course in a pretty lively quite honestly they're using it to scare the citizenry that they themselves are not taking steps that are really necessary to secure in those facilities we just had a trial in washington state. in the united states where five people were able to tunnel by defenses against in the nuclear area like three hours so the united states does not take its own security. with this much concern is cause american citizens and i'm certainly concerned for sure about. the pakistani program and that it needs to be secure these types of operations that u.s. is doing pakistan only the courage to do. things against their own government. i don't want. money by going after these weapons. but briefly do these records do you think show that the u.s. has. that they've failed to convince is that. what it's really. i'm sorry my dander stand there let's question. one of the things i would say just in general i believe that the united states definitely needs to be removing its troops from from afghanistan totally greece and military operations in afghanistan massive

book about this is a wiki book on law and the your view is can go to we don't we don't we don't citizenry nice olds don't call me. my co-author interesting that he is the c.e.o. of edelman u.k. . works for edelman in the u.s. . but. i don't think i think i think this new form of capitalism causes no. we are six degrees or five years or whatever it is and i think this new form of capitalism that i write about in citizen when i saw capitalism two point knowledge if you like it's not a repackaging it's a pretty radical updating it's a capitalism that puts people on planet before short term profits and interestingly bizarrely i'm sitting on a boat here being filmed on the bank of the thames two minutes away up on the on the thames is the head office of unilever global corporation and i've just left a meeting there with their global head of sustainability gavin nathan we've been talking about this very subject and paul polman the global c.e.o. of unilever has been very outspoken saying that he's not interested in the short term shareholder particularly he's interested in the long term interest

it is whether the candidate is connected to the citizenry. it is not interested in televised debauchery. that is what this is about. >> i think that the answer is the really good leaders, the tony blair's, the bill clinton -- >> i am a freshman at the college. there seems to be a conflict between the idea of political discussion via television and via the internet. is there a way that in the traditiol televised debate format we can address those concerns and propose improvements so that we can get that greater forum for debate in the televised debate? >> if the answer is yes. the internet has an interactive nature. it has to be robust enough for people to come together and evaluate candidates and question each other. i like the idea of figuring out how to engage the campaigns of the candidates around that. there are three presidential debates and one vice- presidential debate begich haggled over sometimes. they ought to look beyond the one moment in which they have an appointment to show up and do it. we do not necessarily have to show up and

but i think our policies ought to be, are our involvement in novastan going to make the novastani citizenry better off-- healthier, wealthier? and that may differ. the policies-- the actual implementation may turn out to be different in novastan than it's going to be in india and so forth. but we do not want to set a floor. because their floor may be so much lower than that. but the floor should be something making a substantial improvement in the lives of people there. - smith: right. - krugman: substantial. i'd like to challenge one point, if i heard you right-- we should be improving the quality of the life of those people. and as a public corporation for profit, we have to develop a set of business principles and business ethics. but we're not in business philosophically to raise social standards. we're in business to have business that makes profit for our owners, and the way to do that for the long term is to have good business ethics in all your various constituencies, but not to be a social cause-- - krugman: but there's a corporate reputation-- - --that raises levels. this is why n

the polarization that would mar our conversations seems to be enjoyed by a citizenry conducted with dialogue and lightheartedness. just outside i saw a small black child smiling of the and we owe all of this, not to the american people, but the important media types who know better. yes i said it, the galstons. they had wrote that no labels, quote, will establish lines that no one should cross. politicians, media personalities and opinion leaders who were recklessly demonizing their opponents should be on notice they can no longer do so. with impunity there is a new sheriff in town and he is wearing a sun sundress. no label maze be the most unamerican thing since soccer. telling us they will, quote, establish lines no one will cross, and a bunch of hacks telling the rest of us we are on notice? to that i say ha followed by ha-ha. who are they targeting? it is not politicians. those were not the ones holding the signs. it has to be the american people, the ones who spoke up. this manufactured bs is another smug reaction to the tea party, ie the train that left without them. and also, more tha
