s decision and the legislation that we have in place to protect our citizenry and it's important they vote to settle the lawsuit and tells the constituents that no matter how much time and effort they put into the residential neighborhoods, in the end it will permit them. and you can see they have 240 existing cell sites and is proposing 9d 4 more. and proposing 68 cell sites in the process of purchasing t-mobile. and when all is said and done, a good number of cell sites will be redundant. and this lawsuit should be allowed -- should not be -- should be allowed to continue and not settled while at&t's purchase of t-mobile works through the regulatory process. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i live around the 725 taraval street for about b 40 year. i am also one of the neighbors who supports bob carson's appeal back in may 2010 as bob has already informed the board of supervisors. and the residents are willing to pay for the retention of an extra witness in the next phase of the trial. we have already hired an expert who has revealed the same material and at the appeal hearing and revi

r emp gina, jocelyn, and marie rogerers of the planning department, and a slew of citizenry for their helping in moving this legislation forward, which has been well vetted by a number of commissions. an early survey show that 700 restaurants and quarters could be affected in a positive way. they already have that right by other establishment that are able to afford the $2,000 a year permit. but those are for the larger venues. for the smaller venues, a permit costing $389 puts them in range of being able to do something. we are able to say we are doing something good here by being more business friendly and creating this kind of permit. earlier i said $389, but i meant $385 for the application fee. thinks to wiener, campos and mar for their company sponsorship. i want to thank the for example who helped send this earlier today. we probably could have a tuesday meeting. i am more than happy to answer any questions, but i am happy seeing this traverse through the commissions throughout city hall and community. your support would be appreciateded. >> thank you, mr. chair. i want to than

the plan is for the national and local authorities as well as the citizenry to share the pain. the president endorsed the plan. there would be a tax on high earners. raising the retirement age for women to 65 this year. hiking the capital gains tax from 12% to 20% and cutting some public holidays to boost productivity and changing the law on firing workers. the state will also reduce its spending, passing on less money to municipal and regional authorities and cutting regional sector pay. >> of course we have to cut politicians' pay as well and lower the associated costs. >> a government tv advertisement calls on people to be honest and pay their taxes. the main problem is not excessive spending by the state, up for tax yields. they have to spend half of their money servicing their huge debt. >> increased contracted at an even faster rate as the government cut again. the government shrank by 6.9%. greece is in its third year of recession. this has been hurting consumer spending. athens says that rising exports areg hurting the domestic deman. the eu, ecb and imf have approved t

strategic value to libya to only become reformed in democratic rights and universal participation by the citizenry. was to be. ours need to implement a western economic and military agenda and therefore the people who will really command the political situation in libya and the military situation in libya will indeed be supported and buttress by western powers western powers have thrown all their support behind the league in national transitional council giving them billions of dollars and weapons to gain control but the rebels are far from being the united group what is going to face after that is a period of prolonged chaos nobody knows the outcome this is as i said in the beginning this is tribe against tribe this is not democracy against totalitarianism revolutions in egypt and libya have developed under different scenarios in egypt it was an on armed uprising the new leader in libya it's been an insurgency flooded with weapons by the west and those weapons are still in their arms and they're not going anywhere and many analysts are saying that we could find themselves in a much worse situatio

waterfront per se, all of those have to be incorporated to respond to the current priorities that our citizenry now expects for an urban waterfront. not necessarily a maritime working water front. so the answer to your question is a little more complex. we're always looking at some maritime related objective that isn't able to pay for itself. we are always incorporating public access. we are always on the pier side going after the historic preservation objectives as well. all of which are things that need money, don't pay for themselves, and so the rest of these, in part, they generate the revenue to do that, but they are also responding to a market demand that has grown with the change of the rest of the city next door. >> okay. we're working our way north. and just this morning there are two big cruise ships in. these are ultimately going to be further on the south, southern waterfront. the new cruise ships. right now they're just south of pier 39 and that is a lot of people. that's thousands of people. people say pier 39 is next to, what, disney land, number one tourist privately owned touri

i think the citizenry is feeling that this is almost sort of a confession overly by the state, in some ways, that they just cannot handle its anymore and that they are just bursting at the seams and that they need to deflect back some of the responsibility back to counties to help the state alleviate. so people that i am hearing from you are trying to monitor this, treat this as a significant imposition. and that is being fueled by their own, i think, concerns generated by misinformation or others that this could absolutely spew public safety by making it more challenging for san francisco's law enforcement and criminal justice system, that public safety now will be taxed that much more because of the infusion. that is number one. number two is, because with the 77% + repeat offender reid, recidivism rate from the state, of those coming back to san francisco, coupled already -- we do not have as high a recidivism rate in san francisco, but it is not low, and that would be an added stressor to our municipal systems to be able to handle that population. so how do you address those common
