i am courting here from research by david lewis out of vanderbilt university, 30% of positions do not receive a single nominee in the first two years, looking at the past three completed administrations. a large part of that is federal vacancy reform act. the need for somebody in my role is not as great because economic acting official perform the duties. when the time runs out, what happens in the agencies, yeah -- most of the functions are nonexclusive in federal agencies. you have delegations, the department of home's land -- homeland security, you go to that leadership page and you look at the undersecretary's, the majority of them are not senate confirmed officials. yes senior officials performing the duties. there are no time limits under the vacancies act. you can have those positions carried out for years without ever putting forward a nominee. >> is one of the takeaways that may be the federal administrative apparatus has become so gargantuan that even the person who some authority of it, i'm speaking about the president, it is only some directive authority, but he does not s

that's roughly triple the normal amount and long overdue according to david lewis of the nonprofit savedan francisco bay has been a fraction of what chesapeake and puget sound and other bays receive. this is a huge boost for accelerating wetland restoration and cleaning up water quality in the bay. while the epa funding will be a welcome boost for shoreline restoration other advocates say a historic surgeon spending for bay area environmental projects could be just around the corner fueled by money from the governor's 3.7 billion dollar climate resilience package coupled with funds from the 1.2 trillion dollar federal infrastructure bill. i think this is the first splash of real. kind of virtual fire hose of state and federal funding that's going to come to the bay area to tackle client climate adaptation over the the next few years warner cable of the san francisco estuary institute says priority projects include tidal marsh restoration to combat sea level rise drought and water conservation systems and managing surrounding forests for wildfire risk, but while the goals are clear chabot

according to vanderbilt university's david lewis and mark richardson, in the first two years of the bush, obama and trump administrations, 30% of senate confirmed positions never received a nomination. the lengthy and arduous confirmation process can further discourage qualified people from joining public service. serving the american people in a presidential appointment is a privilege and it is appropriate that individuals nominated for important positions are subject to the senate's review. however, the confirmation process exacts a toll on nominees and sometimes on their families. nominees subject their lives and families to public scrutiny, many leave jobs to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. hire lawyers and accountant tones sure their paperwork is free from error. sell assets and take other steps to mitigate financial conflicts. and make plans to move their homes and families at personal expense, with no clear indication of when the senate will consent to or even consider their nomination. the high number of positions subject to senate confirmation actually decre
