how did church & dwight do it?st as the ceo said in the second sentence of his fascinating, fantastic talk in front of the deutsch bank global consumer conference this month, we are a north american-centric company. ♪ hallelujah >> now i have your attention, right? second he's got a philosophy that might as well be born and bred in cramerica. listen to this. i love it. i quote. first and foremost you are paid to deliver great returns for your investors he notes. other companies talk about taking great care of the consumers and touching more consumers in the world. sounds like procter. kregge say it is lives i care about most are my shareholders lives. yes! that's one reason they raised the dividend 41% in february bringing the yield up to 137b9 8%. he's a pessimist and said the target is low. he under promises and over delivers. he's developed value brapds to go with premium brands under one roof. no other packaged company has pulled it off well. it's working from the laundry business. they are the only liquid laun

i agree with commissioner dwight. everyone in san francisco agrees something should be done. i really hope that supervisor avalos and mayor lee and president chiu come together for one ballot measure. so, any other commissioner comments? do we have a motion on either ballot? >> commissioners, do you want to have any discussion? >> i think we should make our main recommendation that the two group's work together to come up with one measure. i think that is our number one goal. after that, if we want to weigh in on specifics of either side that we liked or with just being part of the final package, i think that's where we should go. commissioner dwight: yes, i just think we could talk about the details all day long. and this is not the body that is not -- that is going to decide those details. i think we should go away, do your thing. and then if in the final manifestation of the legislation there are things that need to be tweaked and major issues, that would be the time to do it. right now, it does not to as much good

i agree with commissioner dwight. we should ask them to come back with an agreeable solution or proposal. those are my thoughts. >> can you repeat that again please? the last two points? the tax credit exemption? commissioner riley: the tax credit exemption and the $100 million exemption. >> i would regard that as a flat tax. yes, from a global perspective, weighing in on those high level issues is still fun. what the specific dollar amount this -- i agree. i support both of those things as well. though they are getting a tax exemption on these cases, twitter paid a lot of money for some other stuff, ok? for the neighborhood and things around the new venue. its not as though they walked out of the room and were paid money to come to the city. they paid in other ways. i think that is a means the city has to direct funds to areas that particularly need it. that market section has been blighted for so long. if it twitter is the one to kick start that -- even west field mall has struggled. that was going to turn that area

commissioner dwight: yes. commissioner white: yes. commissioner riley: yes. >> that motion passes 5-0. commissioner adams: next item. >> thank you for coming out today, guys. >> commissioners, we are returning back to minutes, item number 2. commissioner adams: do we have a motion to approve? do we have a second? commissioner adams: yes. commissioner dooley: yes, commissioner dwight: yes. commissioner white: yes. commissioner riley: yes. >> that motion passes 5-0. i did initially include some of our standard items on the agenda. item six, the director's report, i believe the director will continue with a written report at the next meeting. is that correct? >> actually, what i would like to do -- i apologize. since we do have a bit of time, bring you up-to-date on a couple of legislative items. supervisor kim -- supervisor farrell, the small business tax exclusion, the payroll tax. that is being continued until budget deliberations are done. to understand its impact to the general fund. i want to let you know that that has not complete

commissioner dwight: yes, i just think we could talk about the details all day long. and this is not the body that is not -- that is going to decide those details. i think we should go away, do your thing. and then if in the final manifestation of the legislation there are things that need to be tweaked and major issues, that would be the time to do it. right now, it does not to as much good because we're talking about shifting sand anyway. let's wait until there is a solid foundation. then we will -- you know, because things are going to move towards the middle, as they normally do. let's find out where that this. >> though i do think both supervisors and the mayor and some of the other supervisors are interested in what the commission thinks about the tax exclusions and credits, in part because one includes it and one does not. so,

it was 5 # years ago last january that dwight eisenhower delivered his farewell address from the oval office. i got wonderful insight to it. he gave me a few thoughts on crafting the thing. his old colleague at the heritage foundation describes the speech as one cited and seldom read. it coins the phrase military industrial complex. and there is this enduring image that the industry i'm representing is a small thing with long assembly lines. in fact, it's not at all what we are. when dwight eisenhower gave the speech, the defense industry was the largest manufacturing industry in the country. it was larger than cars. it was larger than oil and gas. it met an immediate need that was quite stark and challenging. and he references that right now are the top five of us in the defense industry. the top tier companies. combined annual income is half that of exxon. it's also half of wal-mart. if we have a complex, it exists in some other sector. david burteau did a study that since the defense consolidation and downturn of 1991, 150 companies have left the industry. either through consolidat

>> he ran twice against the great military hero dwight eisenhower. so i don't really think there's anyway that addie llai stevenso could have won those elections. americans like military heros. we have a few generals that did not win, but eisenhower is an unas saleable character and i'm not sure adlai stevenson ran the most efficient campaign at least in '52. he handled the media poorly. he would still be governing these lovely speeches and you would see at the bottom of the screen that this is a program that's supported by the democratic national committee. he never could change his rhetoric and couch it in the necessity of television time. >> he'd be cut off in the middle of a speech. because the speech -- people who traveled with him were driven to -- he had great speech writers, too, by the way. people that stephenson brought into the process. but -- >> but still, these were not -- he lost, what, in the high 40s. the second time, eches he was i lower 40s. >> he managed to lose to a president during a recession. that's not easy to do. you're right
