haney? >> yeah. although, i did want to bring up because i asked it in the first question the point about rainy day funds. so i will say rainy day fund if we could have an answer into how that plays, i know that some of the folks would not be covered like the sig, but kind of how that plays into our consideration. >> well, i think that the connection exists, but, it is probably not as in our thinking, it is not as mapable to this set of positions that are on the resolution. so, for example, if we were to not receive the rainy day fund, then, more of the secondary single subject positions would probably stand. i mean the layoffs would actually need to go through. and we would be able to rescind more if the rainy day funds do come through and so those positions, i think there is a connection to. the sig, i don't think that there is a very close connection between the sig positions and the rainy day reserve. although as the superintendent said, we are actually hoping that many of the individual employee

haney, miss [inaudible], miss lee, thank you, miss mendoza, ms. norton. that's 6 is. >> okay. we are going to move back to item i and call for creating 121211 a 3 creating an equitable [inaudible] if i hear no objections from the board we will be hearing the substitute motion tonight that was also distributed to the public. you have a copy, a red line and the copy that the public has. seeing no objection we will be considering the substitute motion. commissioner mendoza, may we have a report from the buildings and grounds committee. >> we heard this item and put it forward with a positive recommendation and at that moment decided not to include some of the amendments that were been put forward because it was only information that the board members had at the time. so we put it forward with a positive recommendation in its original form. >> thank you. may we have a reading of the substitute motion by commissioner fewer or commissioner haney please. >> commissioner haney, if you would. >> therefore be it resolved, the board of education of the san francisco unified school distri

haney, miss mendoza, miss nor tan. item b. present to the board. >> thank you president norton. good evening. a few comments for tonight. or school site planning was held on march 2. it was very attended. i want to thank everyone that attended. this was an opportunity for everyone to learn about the district's goals moving forward and how to create a plan for how our sites will allocate and use their resources. if you were not able to attend this year's summit, we look forward to seeing you next year. in the meantime, we encourage parents to have a robust conversation about using resources aligned to budget priorities. we also urge you to look at the school's website where the powerpoint presentations talking about the district goals are also going to be posted. i believe they're already posted so we invite you to look there as well. as you know, march is nutrition awareness month. we focus on promoting our wellness policy and promoting nutrition education lessons in diabetes and heart disease. schools can promote healthier eating by adding foods that are bright in color and lim

haney? >> sure. this is my first time having this meeting, so i have a couple of questions of sort of understanding how this works and why we do this. you know it seems like in the past couple of years we have put out hundreds of these notices and all but a few have been rescined and in this next year we are expecting to have at least a some what better financial situation than we have had in the past couple of years and i think that there will be an expectation from the people in the city and the school community that we don't have this sort of pain that we have seen in the last couple of years come down on our staff and students in the school community. and so, you know, i was sort of thinking and hoping that we would get to a place where we did not have to put out any layoff notices. and in the presentation, you mentioned that mr. bushman that you do expect or you hope that we will get to a place again, even if we put out this over 100 notices where only about a handful are rescinded. so i am wond

i wanna thank commissioner fewer to continue this resolution and for commissioner haney to join in. and i wanna thank -- i just looked it over in terms of the amendments and so forth. i really wanna say that i'm very proud of this board working very diligently and actually strengthening the language in this. i'm glad to see that. i'm also glad to hear many of these comments, that there 's a lot of support for the direction we're going. this is not a new concept for san francisco as you know, and the reason why we brought it up at the end of last year was because the city already had done this. it was just logical to do this. this is city money, we want our city money to support or people in the city and this is just one opportunity for us to do this. we just passed today after four-and-a-half hours at another meeting i was in earlier , but we just passed the terms of cpmc. they're not using our city money, they're using their own money, and yet they were able to agree to the general concept of local hiring that was set forth by the city. so once again, i think the school district at

. >> neil: where is the great societal upheaval, to get their haneys and doing something, and democrats say there isn't a problem. so where are we headed here? >> you're having the proverbial frog boiled in the water slowly. but there will be action taken. that will come in the election of 2014 and for sure in 2016. but you're right, there's no upheaval today no one marching in the streets, none of that is happening. but these processes do take a while, and don't be too pessimistic, neil. the election in 2014 -- >> i love you dearly but you sound like the woman who rand up to the first lady, outside of that, mrs. lincoln, how was the show? >> this is -- yes, this is pretty bad stuff. but this country is plenty strong to make it through the next four years. >> neil: you're right. you're right. and you're a good man and optimistic, and -- >> i've got to be. >> neil: you're rich and you don't care. >> i'm not rich and i do care. >> neil: i'm kidding. we can forget the deficit. will charitable living go down? i got into it with bill gates. >> the one worry we have is whether we're going to

joining mess ga deputy editor michael haney.other jones washington bureau chief and msnbc analyst david corn. today the supreme court is hearing day 2 of arguments on one of the most important civil rights issue of our time, marriage equality. yesterday the nine justices indicated they wanted to avoid issues a sweeping ruling in either direction on california's prop 8 case. at one point chief justice john roberts asked ted olson why supporters needed the label of "marriage." >> so it's just about the label in this case? >> the label is -- >> same-sex couples have every other right, it's just about the label. >> the label means something. it's like to say you can vote, you can travel, but you may not be a citizen. they are certain labels that are very, very critical. >> in the case of today's argument on doma, the marriage labeling could not be more crucial. section 3 of the 1996 23er8 law defining marriage as strictly between a man and a wo prohibit legally wed same-sex couples from receiving many of the same federal benefits as

i've seen judy haney's case, the lawyer was actually so intoxicated, the judge stopped the trial in themiddle of the trial and made the lawyer spend a day in jail, becoming sober, then picked the trial back up. the client was sentenced to death. and on appeal, the state appellate court said, "no constitutional problem with that." i've seen dozens of people go before the judge after waiting for months to get a lawyer appointed. say, "your honor, just, i'll plead guilty. just please let me go home." and so they never actually get the lawyer they're entitled to because the no lawyer has been appointed. we see it too frequently. it's in so many of these cases, no investigation, no mitigation, we've got death penalty cases where the lawyer basically tells the jury that he hates his client. calvin burdine, was openly gay, the lawyer basically told the jury, i don't care whether you sentence him to death or not. he was a criminal defense attorney, representing a man who was openly gay, about whom he expressed hostility and contempt. >> i don't know if you saw this remarkable article recently i

she went after dale haney. >> i heard a little bit of that. i remember when this came up. it was something to do with on a trip, maybe on a vacation at cape cod, someone, a picture was taken of an official taking the dog off of a plane. it was someone who had another job who happened to be handing the dog. that person makes six figures. it was miss reported at the time. reported at the time. by that time, you know. >> for the record we know if she is talking about a person who took care of george bush's dogs, by the way. >> that's another thing, yeah. >> superintendent of the grounds, right? he had a lot of responsibility. but he just happens to like dogs. >> yes. two things there. one is the one i am talking about, an incidents where a white house employee took the dog out. you are talking about the grounds keeper he likes dogs. he has been walking every presidential dog, maybe going back to the nixon years. >> back back to nixon. he is a friends of mine. i asked him about that. >> yeah. that's another story that's gotten out there, you know, in the wild west of the inter
