of the commission. more, about the structure of the commission. at times, the state has failed to fill its six spots, which impairs the ability of the commission to get its work done. additionally, very few recommendations of the commission actually get and plummeted by the state, or congress. because of this, individual members of the commission and tribes get frustrated and questioned the purpose of the commission. based on these experiences, i have several suggested edits for the committee to consider in making as 2097, but seeing my time is short, i went to mention a couple. the language should be reviewed to make sure that it encompasses the schools identified in volume one of interiors report. the bill seems to only include schools that were directly operated by the federal government, or churches, versus schools that meet the full criteria. the members of the commission are all appointed by the federal government. which will likely minimize trust in the commission's work. direct mind revising the

once again, that is a life picture from inside the electoral commission, where the commission was expected to give to announce the results on the presidential election about 2 hours ago. there has been a delay. and just in the past few moments or so chaotic scenes from the electoral commission showing some people fighting. let's bring in here with hasa. she's joining us on the phone from the west of the country. so her room, any reaction from, from your end to, to these developments literally just brought the news about what i've been telling you. you had a lot of people that now we know now we know they shouting why you eating the those people in the game of the people to be literal, to be from him, removed from the basement. this was my apologies, but we seem to be having audio connectivity issues with you. we'll let you go for now. we will try and connect with you a little later on. let's bring in has some kind of j was the director of the horn international institute for strategic studies. that's a research and policy thing. thank. he's joining us on skype from nairobi, sir. welcome ba

this is up to the commission. you know, we do believe that it is a useful threshold and we -- for a few reasons one is consistent with the previous behested payments reporting regime in place, which required reporting from parties and amounts of 1 thousand dollars or over. the state regulation guess up to 5 thousand. i think a thousand dollars was a workable number locally and it will help to alleviate the administrative burden in terms of need to vet small donations if the department received a box of ppe they would need to first what it is a complex vetting process that has to go on for every behested payment under this ordinance. there are a number of categories and interested parties the categories need to be checked. someone needs to run down whether well is a contract in issue or someone is subject to permit. whether they lob ed the department and so on. and that does create work for staff and the city attorney and may be ethic's staff if they need to be advised on trickier situations that require a thorough

now more then ever the ethics commission has failed us. the way they failed us is by kicking the can down the street and saying they don't have sufficient staff to do the (inaudible) when they do not know how to prioritize what is urgent. the entire nation knows that san francisco is one of the most corrupt cities the nation. and it is mandatory that the sunshine task force and the ethics commission and the controller and the san francisco city attorney do the right thing, but they have not. it has taken the federal bureau of investigation to indict (inaudible) from the san francisco public utility commission, but there is more to it. the san francisco public utilities commission is a most corrupt department today in the city. and the former city attorney is now the general manager makes $500 thousand is the fox guarding the chicken coop and when we the public at public comment reveal to you facts, empirical data the ethics commission cannot do, because they don't have a mechanism to do sound investigative reporting or investigate, even wh

asking you, not as oewd, but as you think about the commission, how can the small business commission help you facilitate these goals? what is something proactively that you think we could do or should be doing that would help further this effort we have been talking about today? >> thank you for the question and the offer that is implied. i think that-really at this point i sort of said before, we are at this precipice where like we have a lot of good information and we are trying to get more. we have a lot of good ideas, but we don't know what is coming and having this body help us just start to vet what comes and like and filter through, there will be a lot of ideas, a lot of opportunities and a lot of noise, and it is easy to get-to try to do everything for everyone and get very broad so everybody is spinning and nobody is-we are not moving forward so i think having this commission help us really suss out what is real, the real need, the trends, not just anecdotes and one-offs but where there is concentrateed areas where we can focus and move the dial and helping to help us point

and then they were said that they were also critical of the electoral commission. the electoral, the chair of the actual commission because they said the final decision has to be made either with consensus or the majority of the of the commission is that they said they couldn't own those results. and so they walked away describing once again that final position, final process of the tiny, opaque where they used that. so i, they said they walked out to the tally center and full of tele, 7 commissioners seems a day and ryder didn't arguing that a majority or if not a consensus will 7, was required to make these results valid. thank you very much, said is malcolm. we have no doubt we will be talking to you throughout the afternoon. well, let's listen to what the deputy chair woman of the lakes will commission said just a short time ago. the commission, as i'm not aware of that to me left, did result as the day was by so t, based on the end, it was not given out. so you could not say that we have tended 10000000 and these 10 miller, this is how it is distributed. we ha

it was really based on the fact that had the same commission, new commission saying they embraced the hostility of the first commission so if they were to go forward, it would not be successful, they knew they would lose so they would rather drop the case and go ahead with it. >> but it's still not over because june 5, 2019, autumn filed a new case against you and i don't know how much you can talk about it but why did that happen and where are you in that case? >> this attorney had an optionas of appealing the commission's decision to dismiss the case so rather than appealing that, waited whatever the time period, over 90 days and filed a civil lawsuit against me now this is not the state suing me, this attorney is personally in this past march a few weeks ago we were in court and the judge was in his chambers in denver and i was discussing it with the lines of freedom, we were put on the witness stand, my wife and my daughter and myself and the attorneys gardena and a couple of other people, we have that trial, cross examination and all of those things and we are now awaiting the ju
