i tried to give as much empirical data. how much public employee unions spent on campaigns, how much they give to candidates, how much they spend on initiatives and referenda campaigns, what is their lobbying spending. i look at their overall political advantages compared to both private-sector unions and other interest group players that are trying to get their way in american politics. those differences include they have easier access to politicians, they have much more easy to mobilize their membership for election campaigns and protests, rallies, because they are public workers themselves. they have a much more steady and stable revenue stream through dues and legal provisions. we can explain what those are later. fourth, as i said, up until the great recession, they were operating in a low visibility policy environment without a lot of media or public scrutiny. not only do they have a lot of political power, and just to give you a couple of examples, the california teachers association outspent the next three largest i

there is now empirical data that we need additional resources and through collaboration and great work from the mayor's budget office president breed participated. our fire commission has been supportive. members of the department as well as the controller's office and how to sustain the growth. >> >> as you know we provide ems service. in addition there are two private ones and king american and american medical response and did better work through this concept in making sure their resources work well with ours in terms of peak periods and staffing and we had a huge issue last summer and increase the call volume and the guidelines we would like to provide to the residents and the visitors as well of the city but i think the work group has gotten off to a great start and i am happy to provide more information on that because we are seeing a reduction in those ambulance response times. there's basically and i will get into it further there are basically three thresholds we try to adhere to and i will talk about that in another slide so there is work to continue on the system.

i tried to give as much empirical data. this is on how much public employee unions spent on campaigns, how much they give to candidates, how much they spend on initiatives and referenda campaigns, what is their lobbying spending. i look at their overall political advantages compared to both private-sector unions and other interest group players that are trying to get their way in american politics. those differences include they have easier access to politicians, they have much more easy to mobilize their membership for election campaigns and protests, rallies, because they are public workers themselves. they have a much more steady and stable revenue stream through dues and legal provisions. we can explain what those are later. fourth, as i said, up until the great recession, they were operating in a low visibility policy environment without a lot of media or public scrutiny. not only do they have a lot of political power, and just to give you a couple of examples, the california teachers association outspent the next thre

. >> and you have the empirical data to support that. >> yes, we do. >> i think the issue for me is thate employees are telling me something totally different. >> i don't think i'm mistaken. >> mike's telling me something different, and gerri's telling me something, this young lady's telling me something. they're not good nights for them. >> you're wrong. >> greg have you guys ever dialogued about this as a team? >> honest to god, marcus, i leave that up to mike. i don't have these meetings with them like he does. financial data typically isn't shared with employees, at least not in my opinion. >> do you normally have a good night? >> not considering what we could do on a busy night. we could make 200 bucks apiece. >> and how much will you make on a night like tonight? >> 100 to 120. >> so half. >> for, like--yeah. >> i keep being told, "oh, no, this is a good night." you seem to be the only one that has an issue with it. >> i'm the only one who's speaking up. when you're not here enough to know what's going on, it's really honestly hurtful and insulting because we care about this busine

this general do and this one in particular is to weave the story telling dimension with a data driven empirical dimension of it. lance gary at or vardleal calls it the difference between narrative and statistical compassion. one thing that this trial did -- prop 8 did -- is to make sure the narrative compassion didn't disappear the first day after the plaintiffs finished testifying. usually the plaintiffs are the only um face of the trial. thanks to the brilliance of one of the attorneys on the case terry stewart with there was a strategy of oh interspersing individuals throughout the testimony. so you had whether sexual orientation is immutable, ryan kendall, a young man in conversion therapy and who was so traumatized he contemplated suicide. he is mother said she would rather have have had an abortion than a gay child. he said it is incredibly harmful and my sexual orientation has not changed at all. not a dry eye in the casement they come back with an expert social psychologist with charts and a data. it's a per p fekt one-two punch where the narrative. most of oh us asum late information t

there is no empirical way to -- for me to know? >> well the data that we've got does say that it's far less common than divorce in this country. and i'm mad at you for making me make that comparison. every major city in law enforcement that we look at use of force is a rare occurrence. 5% is really high 2% and 1% is sort of common and low. so we're talking about rare occurrences. but how often does it get out of hand when force is used? that's a harder thing to estimate. >> so you can take the universe of application of force, and we don't know how off that's being used properly. >> that's right. we don't know about disparities. again, there's a lot we don't know. i will say from the department where is i've taken a look at the data it is the case it's rare when folks use force and rarer still when they use excessive force. so we should be comfortable saying from what we've seen anecdotal anecdotally. but we shouldn't be comfortable relying on anecdote too much longer. >>> still to come after bloomberg pulled down this story, nancy reagan gives hil

that seems to be an empirical question for which we do not have the data.ittle bit. thank you robert traynham. but don't go too far. >> i'll bring in one of the young activists a leading voice in the black lives matter movement to ask this question about whether we're beginning to see an impact. bad. our experienced investment professionals are one reason over 85% of our mutual funds beat their 10-year lipper averages. so in a variety of markets we can help you feel confident. request a prospectus or summary prospectus with investment information risks, fees and expenses to read and consider carefully before investing. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. they say after seeing a magician make his assistant disappear mr.clean came up with a product that makes dirt virtually disappear. he called it the magic eraser. it cleans like magic. even baked on dirt disappears right before your eyes. mr.clean's magic eraser. we come by almost every day to deliver your mail so if you have any packages you want to return you should just give th

empire was a miss. rick scott has that at the cne. >> hi carl. we have soft data. we dropped a quick three basis points. if you look at 30s, the other end of the curve dropped more. maybe the most important issue is let's open that ten year start up to the 18th of march. notice the range. this closes. that whole period shy of a month closing yield ranges 184 to 197. pretty tight. what's also fascinating is that starts on the 18th. the 17th the day before was the last time we had a settlement in two years over 2%. now, let's look at the bullet wound 10 year to date. new all time low for the 10 year but maybe the most fascinating chart that's getting lip service on this floor is the 8 year. why the 8 year? because it's negative as well for a couple of days now and creeps down the curve. i can here mario driving saying no problem here. now, let's look at the euro on the 24 hour chart. it looked like it was heading down testing the both testimony of the range. boom pop. what made it pop? it's the new link. i use to say it wasn't the dollar strength but the euro weaknes
