people moved out of the city and primarily black middle-class and they walked away from the city. john: we have this over a long period of time. population went up until exactly when i was born. then it has gone down ever since. this isn't just because it's a big northern city that you can compare to new york, which isn't doing that well either but new york's population has actually gone up. because of the high taxes and high costs. >> 660,000 people work in the city, they spent 50 hours a week over here. they go back to their homes wherever they are wisconsin and indiana and it is a small requirement on people that come from the suburbs. i know it's not popular, we have to deal with a situation that everyone can contribute. john: you wouldn't get the money. you have to do a bunch of other stuff. >> i think that there are things that we need to be looking at. and i have been in favor of taking away this with the size of the city council in half. >> thank you. we appreciate your thoughts and i am here hearing the same stuff, hearing from these democratic politicians and republicans

our office reported last year that sugary drinks cost us as a city fifty million as a city $50 million and the city governments 26 $26 million a year so there's a negative compact by the over consumption of sugary beverages and we're continuing this fight against big soda in 2015 with our coalition with legislation that we think will make our communities healthier and better informed informed. the legislation i'm introducing will prohibit the use of city funds from city departments and contractors from purchasing sugary drinks it doesn't ban vendors or private parties from bringing them but it limits the city and departments and contractors that do business with the city to consume sugary beverages we can't in good faith know the terrible harm these drinks cause and then allow them to be handed out in children's programs or encourage employees to drink them and to provide the department of public health and our staff more information about the sale of these harmful products. lastly i'm introducing a resolution to formally endorse senator bill madding's bill as we voted about a year ago

in the city. -- columbians in the city.y are relying on outside organizations for food and basic supplies. the city looks like this jumbled mass of disorder and chaos, and this disorder really destabilizes the line between independence and dependence. white accounts of the aftermath are filled with concerns about columbia's exhausted stores, but also their own growing dependency. now i also turned to emma leconte. she wrote in her diary in 1965 as long as we could keep body and soul together, father would not borrow from anyone, but to be under obligation to a yankee? the yankee rations are only drawn by people in actual need or that have no self-respect. her notes mirrored those of other columbians who feared for the broader changes that this growing dependency might bring about in their city and larger southern society. the reason this seemed to threaten the actual basis of society is that antebellum society was organized around the unit of the household, and a household was defined as the male household head and all of h

again with cities. the census bureau estimates by 2015 we will see 80 million new people in our country and about 60 million of them are going to live in urban areas. in san antonio if i have one piece of advice for local leaders around the country, it would be to break through the silos that often exist at the local level. so one of the things we saw the administration up here doing very early on was an effort called sustainable communities that was hud working with a department of transportation working with epa, and we said, hey what we should do is organize ourselves in a similar way. the city government needs to be talking to the community college district which needs the hall talking to the transit, two electric, water utility. it is surprising how often that doesn't happen even at the local level. what we found was first of all the a lot of resources going after that if they were coordinate in a better way they could make a bigger impact. that's money and resources you already have. secondly it r

it's worked for cities. as we go around the country what we are seeing, not just governments, but private, civic, union, community, philanthropy stepping up and doing some really hard work. louisville, lexington they are making manufacturing innovation a priority. charlotte and chicago, they are changing their community colleges to equip workers with the actual technical skills they need. you can go to denver and l.a., they are using local resources to build out state-of-the-art transit. then you can go to the heart of detroit and to the heart of buffalo and you'll see the cities coming back from the core. it's still a very small landmass, but when you put that innovative economy on steroids one innovative j.b. equals five other jobs. it can expand out into the neighborhoods if we are smart about skills and education. there's not a recipe about there. it's about collaboration. it's about public-private at its core. it will fundamentally, i think and we can come back to this change what the national governmen

to much to the growth of this city.the first foreign-born mayor in the united states was frank mccoppin from longford, who was mayor of this great city and of course, the city engineer, mike o'shaughnessy contributed much. he was from county limerick and he was responsible for the hetch hetch reservoir that supplies the city's water. and jesper o'farrell was the first surveyor and designed the ground promenade that is today market street. in more recent times we have seen community leaders such as achieve of police, mayor frank jordan, john from plaster' union and fire chief joanne hayes-white and our own three center has three commissioners. so it's a wonderful city, a beautiful place to live and we look forward to many more generations of irish immigrants making the difference in the city. and in conclusion, i would like to pay a special tribute to the board of directors, who have been so committed to the work of the center, both financially and giving of their time and expertise. we have bart murphy, jack fitzpatrick
