opportunity to morally appeal to you on behalf of a coalition including southern baptist ethics and religious commission. the national baptist convention and the united states conference of catholic bishops. quite a diverse coalition. we are appealing to you because we must stop those who would use their agreed to exploit those in need through high cost predatory debt traps that we consider usury. faith groups of all traditions representing 118 million americans mobilized to call on the cfpb to enact a strong role addressing the ahim incal systems of pay day lending debt traps. we call on you now to stop this harmful rent a bank rule. usury and economic exploitation of the poor are condemned in all faith traditions. those who exploit the poor through predatory practices are referred to in scriptures as wolves. the predatory practitioners of rent a bank schemes may well be referred to as wolves dressed up in the legitimacy of a bank. but the victims of such practices testify that an economic predator buy any other name is just the same as trapping them in debt. for nears, we have worked to exprose these

one thing that was in biden's promise was to have this commission on federal ethics that is supposedthese rules more, provide more transparency, so there are no questions about whether these rules are being followed. host: one last question before you go. president biden, this is not the first administration he served in. how would this ethics pledge that we've been talking about in the past half hour, how does it compare to the obama administration? is it more or less stringent than what obama administration's had to serve and act under? guest: let me make a difference between the ethics pledges and promises. promises are listed during the campaign and pledges are in an executive order issued on the day biden came into office they gave particular rules for his political appointees to avoid various conflicts of interest. to answer your question of how it compares to president obama, it is essentially the same. 's president obama's -- president obama's pledge was one of the strongest in recent memory, if not history. president trump followed it a little bit. president biden followed p

preliminary review did not extend to the building inspections commission, but we know that unconflicted governance is critical to setting and enforcing ethical standard. d.b.i. and building inspections commission were established in 1994 via charter ballot measure proposition g. supervisor peskin, melgar and i are working together to explore potential options for meaningful structural and systemic d.b.i. reform via charter ballot in june 2022. finally, last but not least, i'm requesting a hearing on d.b.i.'s implementation of the expanded compliance control legislation that i wrote and passed in march with co-sponsorship of every member of the board of supervisors. the law is intended to protect the public by requiring tracking and reporting of parties associated with significant building code violations. i want to know the status of the expanded compliance control, whether candidates of the list have been presented to the building inspection, whether parties who made it on the list are reported to the state licensing board, whether the list has been published on d.b.i.'s website as required. we couldn't find it doing a quick search. and whe

look forward to the agreement and we will need clear guidance with ethics with examples and scenarios distributed to all board and commission. members, department heads, campaign consultants, lobbyists, friends of groups, political committees and i would require existing board and commission members and department heads to sign an acknowledgement form that they have received, read, and understand the new requirements. i would encourage the city attorney to update the good government guide and finally, i'm hoping that the refuge working group will meet again sometime today. that's all i have on this right now. thanks. >> chairman: thank you. are there any other members of the public for public comment on this item number one? >> clerk: that completes our list of public comment callers. >> chairman: thank you, mr. young. so, colleagues, what i think we should do is so we can have them be in the file is that we should adopt the amendments so we can discuss them next week and get public comment on them and in the intervening week, i will work with folks we have heard from and anybody that we heard from on any amendments to thos

ethical lapses and pointing the finger at none other than the current head of the imf, its former chief executive, krista lena georgie over. so what exactly is going on? well, and external review was commissioned had been manipulated. one of the specific cases they looked at was why china's global ranking in 2018 was changed, climbing to 78 from 85, and the conclusion was that those at the very top of the world bank put theirfinger on the the very top of the world bank put their finger on the scale, pressuring staff to alter it. the probe specifically cited the role of then world bank chief executive who is now head of the international monetary fund, krista lena georgie ava, as well as the former world bank resident, doctorjim kim. president, stop. at the time, china, a member of the world bank was going to improve ranking and lobby top executives at the bank for an outcome. for many years, this controversial report was used as a character to motivate countries to enact economic reforms that many argued it worsened economic inequality. today they cheered its demise. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: thoughts of inflation, why the price of pastor is going up. —— pasta. this is bbc news,

ethics committee investigation. and that's why i think they need to approach it a little bit differently. i'm with bill, i really wish this was even a more bipartisan commissiond, the republicans had participated in that. they would have had equal numbers, and it would have taken away some of these concerns. but they chose not to. and so, you know, they've got to, they've got to look at this in a way that maintains a level of bipartisanship but gets to the truth. trey: bill, i'll give you the last word. >> yeah. i would love to have a degree of bipartisanship. the reason they refused is they don't trust mrs. pelosi. i do think her intentions are clearly political. she's used commissions before for this. i think we've heard from the fbi, right, that they didn't find quite the coordination that people thought. i think this is a political issue. the sad commentary on the state of washington that we can't do things in a bipartisan way, and i do believe the ethics committee could handle it. it should always be, it should always raise suspicions when you go outside normal procedure, and i think's what we're doing here. trey: gentlemen, thank you both for your exper

for the police commission to serve and protect citizens from police officers who have abused their power. as a police commissioner, the public expects each of you to adhere to high ethicalherwise, you would lose public trust as a watch dog of sfpd. private citizens and the media are watching. thank you. >> clerk: thank you, caller. good evening, caller. you have two minutes. >> good evening, police commissioners. as our public comment was started, i feel i must start as well in personally thanking police commissioner hamasaki for his excellent job at managing to convey and discuss these issues online. in addition, the issue that i want to talk about tonight which is our search warrants. i know that he's available and accessible to be able to discuss these very issues and we can note that when we see in our city complaints from the public defender and complaints from the district attorney, their disgust on the form that it is his political twitter. so i'd very much appreciate it. i think it's a wonderful advance in our city's police commission to have him and to have that twitter available there. but more over on the search things specifically, i think that it is so fund
