jim lazarus, san francisco khaim be, i thought i saw him in the back, there he is. >> cameron bingley, and david zedcar. >> jim lazarus, san francisco xhaim ber of commerce, the chamber has consistently said to this commission, the board of supervisors, the rate fairness board that beear using a flawed system to develop a come petite plan that will cost san franciscans more taking those dollars out of the local economy. while cleanpowersf does not meet the state's community choice aggregation goal, you have to remember that out of -- as i'm sure former senator torres does, out of the crisis from 13 years ago, the state passed laws which it was the intention we bring competition to stabilize what available resources lower cost to consumers. this doesn't do that. every dollar that a consumer spends which will go out of san francisco by in large in this program is a dollar not spent in san francisco. that's why we cannot support an opt-out program. if we want to get into the energy business in san francisco, if our local utility which has a green tariff proposed at the state public utili

is there any -- oh jane morrison and jim lazarus too. we will start with jane morrison. >> [inaudible] >> okay. great. >> well, my main concern about public transit is if we build those proposed high rise buildings on piers 30-32 a lot of [inaudible] needed there and takes it away from the rest of the city so i know there is a fontana went up in 1961 and a candidate jack morrison saw that and felt it was cutting off the view of the waterfront and worked as a supervisor in 62 to get a height limit there along the waterfront and that way people could always see across the port on the water waterfront and that passed and still in effect and i called the department and still have the height limit and piers 30-three they are building a high rise and they have to change the rules and i hope you don't change the rules but that is the issue. if we do there is a lot of muni required there and take it away from people all over the city to provide the muni that they need to go up and down the waterfront, so i think that's my main concern. what else

. >> jim lazarus, khim beer of commerce, because there was a lot of testimony earlier, one of the solutions is going to be passage of the comprehensive immigration reform bill. the chamber has supported that from day 1 and it's clear that many of the people testifying today would obviously benefit from a pathway to citizenship. we struggle with the same issues in 2006 that we're talking about today, 2006 when we sat down with business and labor and civic and the mayor's office to develop the health care security ordinance. local mandates, competitive disadvantages, programs of access to health that are not insurance and not portable, the issues of urisa and federal constraints on what can be mandated at the local level have all confronted us as recently as two years ago with your legislation as to the role of health reimbursement accounts. we look forward to an opportunity to work with the board of supervisors, the mayor and the public health department on seeing how this legislation can properly duck tail with the new federal mandate that will be confronting individuals in 2014 and the bus

. >> supervisors, jim lazarus, san francisco chamber of commerce. we also thank supervisor kim and her staff and the planning department for working through issues with this interim measure. we support the legislation. we think it has a good balance of what will allow development on those blocks. obviously it's a different commercial feel when you go east of 6th street and the more international /national retailing that downtown san francisco is famous for, but this revitalized mid-market area is mixture of commercial and residential uses and needs a mixture of those commercial activities that residents and workers need and we think this very narrow interim control will serve the community well for the next 18 months and we thank the supervisor for her work on this matter. >> thank you. next speaker. mr. ms. rogers. >> thank you supervisors. alice rogers again. thank you for having all these areas of interest on the agenda today. i want to thank supervisor kim for proposing this legislation and while i am not a resident of this market demographic we

of thoughts on this and one, i am going to the first comment that i am going to give credit to jim lazarus at the chamber of commerce because this has got me thinking and that is the companies like levis and gap, who have subsitaries who do not or who are subsidiaries are not formula retail. and you know, this is san francisco, and their home and this is where they employ a lot of people. you know? why not let them give them a pass and let them try some of their experimental stores in some of our neighborhoods? you know, that i am all for, and if it is a local company, you know, another one, or another good example, i was thinking during this whole formula retail debate back in 2007, one company that comes to mind is san francisco soup company which started here. and now they are not even opening up stores in san francisco now because they are past eleven and now they are opening up in other places which i would love one of those in my neighborhood. that is not to mean that i am proformula retail though. and i do believe that there needs to be some balance because sometimes formula retail

lazarus stocks, people. the turn around is real. you want to use any weakness to grab a piece of them. >> ken in florida. >> caller: boo-yah, jim, fromeland, florida. i'm down about 10% on ibm. i'm wondering if i can recoup that money better somewhere else or keep it where it is. >> ibm rallies. you won't do it here. thing to is like the worst performing stock from delaware when that goes up. >> sell, sell, sell. >> something is wrong with ibm. they own extra growth. they don't have the growth. i think you should get out with stock. every now and then, comeback kids are what you want to look at the next rounds of weakness. i like wendy's. i like rite aid, rad and wen, right on. >> just ahead, profit protection? taser has been on a shocking rise this month, debuting new tools to help law enforcement keep an eye on crime. tonight, cramer is talking with the ceo to find out if now is the time to buy or if the stock could run out of juice. >> it is time! it is time for the lightning round. rapid fire calls. when you hear this sound the lightning round is over. are you ready, ski-daddy? i will start with kevin in new york. kevin! >> calle
