those options don't exist. one of our survey respondents they did not receive a 1099 from their online platform. this is not surprising. the statutory requirements for filing them are very complicated. current tax system is not working for a significant percentage of new companies. the problem is a lack of information and understanding. these tax challenges are only going to continue to grow. with the increase in the number of small business owners. comes to filing taxes on the income earned from the online platform work. everyone is losing under the current rules. economy players and the irs deserve greater efficiency and thank you for the work you do on behalf of america's small businesses. and rob willie: thank you for the invitation to testify today. there are legal regulatory and public policy challenges. platforms like ours can improve their daily lives. we set out to revolutionize everyday work. we decided that we needed a one that people stay in the house paint a room or possibly mold along. new york is

of the building more light and air and we reduces the height of the parapet in the back with the existing building in the back down an average which of 7 feet and thus giving more light and air to the this we moved the two units in the rear that you saw before that i think brought to ifshz attention we moved to this area with their own private terraces it steps down in a gracious manner so the three percent rear yard is now reduced down to only 3 feet above the garage floor and one of the issues has been interesting where is the grade around this building why are we not fully quarry the reason a lot of the buildings are non-compliment neighbors only one building that is adjacent with a colonel applying rear yard they've been scooped out and the paramount is at the top of that on ma exotic we're going two feet below grade i talk a little bit about the speak up we provided 24 open space is 25 percent code compliant and we brought this building to a code compliant working closely with staff an this and to that extents our open space in this building clustering the top terrace 5 times the req

so sieving is showing the plan on in the existing side yard there is existing non-complying structure that gets to stay we're adding a second level and moving that 3 feet away from the property line that is the cement wall. >> no, this is just another smoke screen there is a small wall leading occupy the property in the front we'll take that down steve is misrepresented we counted that is as a demolition we counted the right walls we're not - we haven't done anything you know to that space we're not building a space actually, the best way to say that. >> okay. thank you a question for mr. women's before i call an commissioner antonini. >> can you - mr. williams what exactly are you looking for. >> well, i think that first of all, the two units should be looked at this was something we didn't writ up in the brief this is something the department if look at by existing policy to say rent-controlled unit that's two of them on the west side you know and you know, i get 5 minutes before i'm personally attacked but all we've looked for consideration for those windows and the people that liv

in the transportation industry are designed to protect existing transportation protect existing transportationes no innovative taxi company dars open. in nashville, tennessee, bureaucrats demanded that every car service must charge at least $45 a ride. >> i have to charge them $45 for going four blocks. nobody's going to ride for 45. >> it was all protectionism, to protect taxi industry. >> when he started metro livery, it was a great success, but the new $45 minimum ended that. >> we lost all our clients and they went back to taxis. >> he fought nashville's rules in court but the bureaucrats won. why would they want to protect existing business? >> because existing businesses are politically connected. >> right. and in this town the hotel industry lobbied for a bill that makes it illegal for me to rent makes it illegal for me to rent my own apartment marie, you have prediabetes. prediabetes?! i don't have time to eat right or exercise. i'm a busy mom! oh, you're a busy mom? yeah. this is great news! busy moms never get prediabetes. wait, what? let me just...yeah! this is all the people at ris

-- under the existing code. very confusing. is it possible that there's some enterprising entrepreneur out there that could come up with an app, form their own company, to kind of solve this problem rather than the government figure it out for them? >> well, i think that it's a two-pronged test. one, yes, absolutely. in fact, there have been some early to market applications that attempted to make this switch. one of the real discoveries that we found is that an application that is on your device to help you with taxes is one that you likely only turn to at that moment of panic. what really we're seeing now is the fact you have to do an integrated application. that you need to be able to pull in the information from taskrabbit into your tax preparation software on an ongoing basis so you can keep track of it. in fact, that leads to one of the confusing elements we've all been discussing. if taxrabbit or any of these companies were to provide that kind of interactivity and that ongoing information flow in trainin

taking some of the existing structure down i have a question for you regarding height of the building units are being added on if you will could tom mike. >> okay - what is the existing height of the building at this particular time. >> above grade as much. >> we'll call fwrad for our purposes the existing floor level the existing building which is the mid point at the pacific avenue and this will be the floor of this part right here and that's what it's all about. >> that's 20 feet above grade and in the the existing building 21 a little bit lower at this which is where we pushed 2 one bedrooms i don't think so why the dr requester is saying it made more of an impact it seems like. >> i'll agree. >> yeah. i don't understand that part thank you. >> i'd like to make one for the record it was made there were 21 units growing units effected that's innovates true there are 10 contiguous properties and one of the contiguous is code compliant at 25 percent so i want to make that very, very clear we're trying to make sense for the past builders that built into their propelling this is the fi

and the local governments that still exist? >> gentleman in the fourth row back there. >> it's a work in progress, of course. the central bank that controls all foreign exchange, all of it, based in tripoli, exists under at this point the authority of g.n.a. and undertakes no activities that aren't in lignment with the policies and approach of the g.n.a. he central banks have some independence but it's still in aligned. the role to the east is hard to assess. last week when i read in the wall street journal, they hired -- safe ck tore cracker to break into a safe, qadaffi's face, it would reduce the value to libyan coin collectors. disturbing.t was i thought when they broke into safes, it only happened in movies, but it was being discussed in libya right now by purports to be a bank governor. disturbing. large amounts of currency being printed to be imported into libya. i don't know whether those are true or not. very disturbing. it's a work in progress. libyan authority has said we'll support and back the g.n.a. and most of th

so this pre-existing divisions tensions,e-existing they have used to their own advantage. i will fast-forward. i already have a time warning. suffice it to say, it is extremely harsh. as soon as isis took over, it imposed what it called a city charter. this is something they did in rocca, syria and molzahn, i rock. -- molzahn, iraq. it lays out a full approach to how civilians are expected to behave. women are subject to many dress code regulations. and men have similar regulations to the length of their trousers. there are three prisons where basically establishing three central prisons, depending on the magnitude of your alleged crime. behavioral police that was established, patrolling the streets. internet is now restricted only to internet cafes run by isis. so, the acquisition of outside information is particularly restricted, unless one is able to travel outside of the city. l areas of of misi control. fare is little evidence so to suggest that isis is earning a lot of money. all of this basically underlines exactly the same model isis has used to control through fea

we need to consider whether consumers are well served by the existing market right now. the majority of pet meds are bought directly through a veterinarian. there may be good reasons for that. getting prescriptions right at the vet may be more convenient. the pet owner may also want the vet to administer the medication in some cases. and when consumers prefer that convenience and service, they should buy their pet's medication through the vet. but that said, the pet medication industry needs fair competition. the federal trade commission looked at competition in the pet medication industry in a 2015 report, hoping to hear more about that. the report concluded that portable prescriptions -- having your choice of where to buy your pet's medication, allows for more choice. and would likely lower prices. expanded consumer choices are already the direction we're heading. some states already require prescription portability in some form. many vets provide prescriptions and many are filling through reters and online. consumers need to be aware of the choices they have and that

and so on we're concerned the lower image is the current image in oakland with a similar situation exists don't think we want to see that has part of future so one of many issues of high speed rail and the caltrain system there are a lot of existing projects and opportunity we want to address in this study and i want to say the city's position and, of course, the voters positions that high speed rail should come to the transbay terminal we strongly believe we're trying to get it done as quickly as possible there are a number of stand alone projects we want to make sure we're cropping with caltrain and all the entities we want to try to better knit this process so our goals to understand holistically the projects that are in front of the us and shape the future of this city in the best way we can the study has 5 components the first to look at the actual extension of the downtown rail and was call it the d t x that connects from 16th street street and the second for potential for a leak moving from the terminal to the system and third the caltrain rail yard for conversion or configuration

amy: it had existed. >> it had existed and it should have existed. >> they made sure he did not existi think john is being diplomatic about his former colleagues. he asked for those documents and they said, oh, we can't give them to you. why not? well, because they don't exist anymore. why not? expletiveuse some screwed up and they were destroyed. in a supposedly routine purge of documents. were, obviously, lying about that. and then to make it worse, these two individuals, than acting inspector general of the pentagon and the general counsel -- on amy: explain who they are. >> lynn how brooks, the acting inspector general. and henry shelley, the general counsel, the one who said, we screwed up -- since this is a family proam -- and he said they have been destroyed and routine purge. governments do have to purge a lot of information, but you don't purge top-secret documents . to make it worse, they then lied to the federal judge in this case about that, assuring the judge that it was -- the documents have been lost in a routine purge. that is a felony. you cannot lie to a judge in a f

they go about their work under existing arrangements. very few of us take guidance from the top offices of our country, it's how the system kind of works. the question is, who's exercising authority and jurisdiction where? and as i've said twice and i'll say a third time and try not to repeat a fourth time, it's a work in progress and hard to say, but if people agree to accept the authority of something, then the authority is accepted. so the process is as much of a state of mind and a political one as it is anything else. what has to happen over the next few weeks is the governor of -- the government of national accord has to use authority wisely, working with the central bank in particular, to procure sufficient liquidity to get resources on the ground, currency on the ground and purchasing power, things like layers of credit to get things imported so there's enough stuff in libya for ramadan so, yeah, our needs are being taken care of properly. that is the most important immediate thing they have to do, and they're working on it, and

so, as you see, everyplace is no existing industry.nd there is a story like this in every single district in america. each one of you received a packet of baseball cards with companies from your district. not all of the businesses are all part of the revolution taking place. one that is moving high, beyond just big companies, in fact, our most recent study showed that 82% of the top app companies are small businesses. most which hail from other than silicon valley. the company that you have in hand are looking to grow and succeed, each with their own vision of what success looks like. but the success of the sharing economy is predicated on the success of a powered universe, opening up a bricks and mortar location and providing services online, and for platforms to track users through better training, tools, and clients, without triggering a change in tax status. we urge congress to ensure the rules we follow make sense in an age where the neighborhood yard sale is now nationwide, and the daily client may not live in the same country. t

in its place, if adopted in international existing building code. all of the california amendment to chapter 34 now have to be relocated to the international existing building code. so, we have that currently small portion of it adopted. it's available in part in volume 2 of the building code. part 10 of the title 24 come up but it was 506 pages now that several books. hundreds of pages long. in california amendment dovetail into that. in all buyer san francisco amendment to be carried along and dovetailed in there as well. >> president mccarthy: sounds like a lot of work? >> testifier: it is. all previous couple you amendment to chapter 34 be relocated. california plumbing, electrical mechanical and residential code adoption process with amendment judy 2015 uniform code, 2014 national electrical code, uniform mechanical code and the 2015 international residential code respectively is addressing terrible parallel to the code. the call for new green building code was originally drafted by building standards commission and the california energy code d

can be more consideration towards either anti displacement works as much as preserving housing that exists in those areas or making sure that local transit service is looked at equally as regional transit service as well as bart or a way to be more california surgery california and definitely oakland but i think that it's not just one-size-fits-all i'm happy to continue the conversation. >> commissioner moore. >> i would like to echo commissioner wus concerns and look to a very strong collaboration as you elevate our discussion and local scale i think that is the see most complex city continues to be the driver of regional trends with housing and affordability and transit, etc. and i think those questions should be really having priority feedback from the city which is in the middle of the largest pressures anymore in the country so examine to our p c a the conservatism areas i see in the region as well as the local diagram are only conservatism areas that already existed the bay area the regional park district and people from open space green valencia alliance for the last 40 years nothin

is -- unless it is changed, this is a pre-existing policy that is already exist for the past severalthe policy has been that if you have the single brand stores, you must have some local sourcing. the rationale behind this has been that every person who looks at the indian market must also invest in the direction of creating some employment opportunities in india. logically, it is a very national policy. in case of a stray product here or there, it would seem a little odd, but there is a sound rationale. but when you are looking to invest and capture one system because of a large market and a large middle class, products of this kind -- please help us in creating some job opportunities in those countries as far as manufacturing is concerned. the old rationale the policy, unless the policy continues to exist. rishaad: will you change it, yes or no? >> no. i can't make that comment. but they have represented to us and we will examine the matter in cases where there is a very high technology ball. we want to carve out an exception and we are open to look at it, but i can tell you that t

that still exists to this day. over 50 armed groups have received that vetting, training, equipping process since 2012, 2013. and two out of 53 on my count don't exist anymore. it's a remarkable success rate, but it does go to show you how long it takes to conduct a process like this and how important that process was in succeeding and actually acknowledging the local dynamics. that was the primary reason for its success. so, again, to sort of reiterate, i think what i said and what others have said, it takes time. don't rush a process like this. if you rush it, it will fail. >> wafa, would you like to just leave us with a couple of final thoughts? >> yeah, just -- we recognize that the process of unifying the whole of libya and securing it is going to be a long process and the situation will probably still get worse before it gets better, but my message here is for the international community, for the u.s. government, we've got to shoot for the high diplomatic and political efforts so far and for the gentleman in

or more so at least than they exist today, when survey courses existed, a lot of kids read john stuart mills "on liberty," they read john milton, they read sort of classics of free speech. they read jefferson, they read tocqueville. fewer students do that now, although i must say cmc is pretty sound on that narrow question. but one of the unanticipated consequences of dropping so many required courses and books is that the free speech classics are no longer as known as they once were. when i was in college, i must have read -- really, in four years i must have read john stuart mills' "on liberty" four or five times for different classes. it kept coming up. now you can easily go through most school, including cmc, without ever reading "on liberty" even once. and so one used to be able to assume that there was a kind of common culture of liberty or of free speech that you could fall back on. and i think that's less true now. but it has sort of inspired me to begin to assign "on liberty" in freshman american government and other courses where i wouldn't with necessarily have assigned it b

so it does still exist so to have a tremendous amount of help but then also of the greek patriarch so those are things i otherwise would not have seen but then i found the box that had all of his remains was not the case. but i did it come up completely empty-handed. it is the architecture without architects to function and does so with the engineers so for whatever reason these private houses in the journal's the overall international figures in of way. but he was a local in that sense. so the rest of them were not interested. please come to the microphone. >> i am a local college student in the most recent book so what is most surprising and why? >> the most impossible to insert.
