. >> reporter: anthony dixon says his company has never had this kind of problem because of the precautionshour, we will shut down the unit. >> reporter: it's not clear what was being used to hold this bounce house down in arizona last month when a dust devil lifted it off the ground and blue it into a utility pole. this was the third one in arizona this year alone. regulation is difficult. each state has its own rules. in many cases, individuals will rent bounce houses as a side business. some are not insured. >> you see the parents trying to jump up and grab the kid. >> reporter: a business without experience can rent out inflatables that are just as fly by night as the company itself 37 for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news. >> we're joined by richard dowd who had two daughters caught up in all this. how are they? >> they'll be in school. they're fine. that'll be answering questions, i'm sure. amazingly, my 3-year-old was behind me when it came. >> it must have been horrifying. what did you think, what tid you do when you saw it? >> i noticed the slide, much larger piece of

you heard senator dixon when he was here earlier who chaired a 95 commission he indicated he thought transparency was important the brac process generally has been pretty transparent with the exception of classified information. i think the brac law may and -- offer you a model. there could are significant differences. the department of defense is a department under a single secretary, in this case you have multiple federal agencies and departments under various agency heads. so it's not a perfect model but i think there has been circumstances where you may be able to pull from the process. the other point i will make is i think you got a lot of good ideas are different for spam and the second have, and i think if i so does give is pick and choose the best ideas. some perhaps competing but i think nonetheless bracht, all these other ideas combined, you may be defined process that will get this done. >> anyone have a closing thought? >> at the risk of making people eyes glaze over, and it's important point, of the 14,000 assets which are described as excess, each asset, each on a prop

like chicago, maybe new york city we'll see some brief cooling, but everything south of the mason dixon, heat indices over 90 degrees as well. now for dangerous heat expected today and tomorrow, potentially the next day in places like d.c., detroit, philadelphia, and new york city. so take care of your neighbors, certainly the elderly ones, and those who may not be able to handle this heat. air quality is an issue, too. also ozone builds up in big cities like atlanta. so we're at a code orange today, not only for atlanta, but i think tomorrow over 80 cities will be in unhealthy categories. here in piedmont park where normally you would see more people with strollers, bicycles, only a handful of those today. the midtown skyline behind me will certainly be more hazy as we get into the heat of the afternoon. no rest for the weary across the south, and dangerous heat now building into the northeast. >> how are you feeling out there, are you holding up okay? >> reporter: i'm all right. i haven't hit noon yet, but if you don't mind, we'd like to stop after that. >> okay. we'll give you a brea

. >> kevin is from dixon, illinois, and we have two of our students both from dixon, president reagan has a home town. we talked about the importance of remembering where you are from. president reagan was certainly true to that. he never lost the midwestern values and influence of smothers family and the community had on his life -- influence of his mother's family. how important is it for a congressman, senator, president of the united states, saying in tune and in touch with the home court, those people you not only represent about whom all but you and made you what you became as an elected leader? >> very important. the house of representatives, they go home almost every other -- every weekend. there are a lot of weeks they spend in their districts. the reason they do that is to stay connected with their constituents, so they have their finger on the polls. so, it is very important to know where you are from, and that probably helped form the values and the way you make decisions about your politics and the way you are going to vote in a presidential election or vote in congress.

we -- we now know in california, the city of dixon is working on a $3 million program for water system improvements. that's a thousand jobs. the city of shafter, $2 million for city and water improvements which will allow development of an additional 600 acres and 1,485 jobs. nationwide, you could look at boeing. we all know the company boeing. in order to help mitigate the boeing company's decision to reduce manufacturing jobs in rentin, washington, e.d.a. invested $2 million in 2006 to help build infrastructure to serve the commercial redevelopment of a 42-acre former aircraft manufacturing site. this redevelopment has created a mixed use campus used by businesses focusing on commercial services, high tech and life sciences. 2,500 jobs. so i say to my friends -- and right now we seem to have a little struggle getting to this bill. we're hoping to be on it, but at this point in time, we have a republican dissenter who doesn't want us to move forward and they want a little time to look at this. i hope they use it well and they look at these numbers. the american people want jobs. this

the city of dixon in my home state got $3 million for a water system that will increase the city's watersupply and their storage capacity, will eliminate a major impediment to planned development and expansion of the city's commercial industrial areas. when you don't have enough water, you can't expand. i learned that when i was a county supervisor. you need to make sure there is adequate water, adequate electricity, adequate sewer. you have to make sure there are adequate roads. all these things are necessary for development and job creation. this prong is expect -- project is expected to create a thousand jobs and leverage $40 million in private investment. so we have a $3 million investment to improve the water system and it's going to leverage to $40 million. i call that a good deal for our taxpayers and a great deal for the american people to see jobs created. a thousand jobs, good jobs created. and that means a thousand dads and moms bringing home paychecks for their families. but what do we have here? the same thing senator landrieu had to put up with. amendment after amendment af

i went through this morning some of the programs in california, city of dixon, $3 million for a water system created, is expected to create 1,000 jobs and leverage $40 million in private investment. 3 million attracting 40 million in private investments. city of haster, 2 million for sewer and water. it's going to develop an additional 600 acres to enable continued growth of the east chapter logistical center and expected to create 1400 jobs and leverage 253 million in private investment. in san jose, $3 million for the expansion for the center for employment training. they can then expand their capacity by 860 students, expand access to the ged, the literacy, language and small business entrepreneurship classes to low-incomed areas. this is key, absolutely key. i mean, it really should bring us together because they are training students so that students get out and get their geds, get their literacy and can really make sure that the community is growing and thriving. that particular grant is expected to leverage 3 million in private investment and 4900 jobs. so it's a one-to-one. it
