about reauthorizing existing grantees. >> okay. and then we already talked about the 30 day. again, there is no amount oweed. the business would verify then. there is a section in proposition j that talks about legal relationships, so it says landlords must not be related byopeership directly or indirectly to the legacy business. if there are relationships under the broad definition the landlord isn't eligible to apply. but, not having expertise in this area, i think manu suggested that we dpet a little more clarity around what does related by ownership mean directly and indirectly and so i think we'll continue to work on that, but i thought it plight be good to get direction and expertise from you commissioner tour-sarkissian in terms what to look and how to define this when the grant applications come in we can look at that and assess whether there is a legal relationship or not. >> we should look at other laws in the city and see how that is interpreted. but in my opinion is that any ownership interest in a property should be grant for disqualification. that is, if a you a

ac provided health centers grantees in texas with over 470 million in funding to offer a broad array of primary care extended hours of operation and more providers to develop clinical spaces. medicare beneficiaries save more than $971 on prescription drugs because the affordable care act and the closing of the doughnut hole created in 2003 medicare part d. i'm proud of the progress that the aca and i couldn't be more pleased with these results but congress could make it better by stopping the dozens of repeal upgrades and provide more health care for her constituents. regardless of whether you support the aca six years ago or when it passed into law, it's hard to deny historic success. premiums before the affordable care act was passed from the insurance system is broken increasing rapidly. in 2009, 2010, the average increase in individual market premium for individuals were covered for more than one year with 15%. under the aca system there were no projection protections for consumers and insurance companies to drop within any time. administrator slavitt, could an individual existin

bipartisan funding restrictions blocked lavish salary and conference spending by federal agencies and grantees. this policy control is lost if the executive gains authority over spending. people on both sides of the aisle understand this. a former deputy attorney general in the clinton administration warned in 2009 that the department of justice has the ability to use moneys to circumvent the appropriation authority in congress, end quote. in 2008, a top official restricted mandatory donation provisions because they, quote, can create actual or perceived conflicts of interest and/or other ethical issues, end quote. any objections to this bill ould be unfounded, whether the beneficiaries are worthy is besides the point. the constitution grants power the power to decide how money is spent, not the department of justice. his is not some esoteric point. it goes to the constitution's separation of powers and congress' ability to rein in executive overreach in practice. nor does the bill restrict prosecutorial discretion. that discretion pertains to the decision to prosecute, setting penalties and r
