. >> finally i'd like to have john haley our transit director to come forward and a couple of folks who worked behind the scenes to keep our system in good shape every day. >> good afternoon mr. haley? y. >> good afternoon. yesterday late morning early afternoon we had a serious incident occur in the subway where the outcome was better than we had hoped for initially and part of what happens in this obviously there's an interruption to service a need to take care of anybody that may have been harmed or injured in any kind of event like that and the process we have to go through to get everything back to normal and in the emergency response team we think of the police and other investigators claims and safety and mechanics will look after the trains, but one of the key folks that was necessary yesterday to allow us to put service back into the subway system, was the cuffed owed i c u.s. todian we have during the course of the day some 74 thousand trips through the subway we don't require all of them to take their trash with them, we don't -- some of the things that we permit folks to car

so i can tell you this that working with john haley for instance, those folks can tell me what the next determination is going to be and what we need to purchase that's factoring into the assessment so we know that by 2017 what we need to do tomorrow >> where's the money going to come from. that's the core. i don't want to hijack this by it's a key part of the picture and what i'm trying to do is be more than a good switchboard operator. what those costs are that's a convenient we typically never get to have >> president chiu. i want make a comment and a supervisor wiener alluded to this we have to figure out how to vest the money. hopefully in the next 6 months a number of us will be asking the public and our colleagues to consider bond measures and other measures on the 2016 bond measures. we have to figure this out for the whole city for the wooerz fans and so forth >> i had a couple of questions around the parking situation can you you gives an idea of how c by the way, what do i expect that to look like and on california train and when they come on line and the terminal do you know

these are the struggles that john haley and his staff deal with every day when there is a problem at west portal, when there is a problem at church and duboce at fourth and k, it really cripples a much larger part of the system and you get all of market street into that category. and it's a very unforgiving system. so, small deficiencies can lead to significant problems. the other thing that our current system doesn't do well is connect to some of these emerging job centers.

heath,ames are nichole madison fox, haley barnett, landis. and john thanks to each of you for your help to me and congratulations.

that director haley has been doing but also it would be great to get an update on the communication systems as well. i think it's been a while since we have heard about that. >> that's in john's memo, and i will say that work superbly today; there were announcements every two minutes and letting us know what was going on and that is absolutely part of this and should be part of -- >> thank you director ramos. >> item 7, directors' report. >> good afternoon chairman nolan, members of the board, staff. a few items to update you with today. starting happily with the new website. we have received a lot of feedback from everyone who has ever looked at it that our website has passed its prime. given that we have such a public presence in the city, and so many different ways in which would touch people, it can be and should be a very important way that we communicate with people, not the only way but an important way. we have about 3 million visits a year to the website. i am happy to announce that on may 29th, next wednesday, we'll be launching the new sfmta.com. the current site was built back in 2007, when the internet was just starting by the looks of it. we had a lot of feedbac

their names are nichole heath, madison fox, haley barnett, richard, and john landis.urs to each of you for help to me and congratulations. [applause] each of you has had your own particular challenges as you have gone through your education that you had to deal with. this week i received a letter from a graduate. in the letter she shared her challenges and accomplishments and i want to share that letter with you tonight. dear congressman, i am a 38- year-old african-american woman who grew up in the deep south. soon i will be a first- generation college graduate. my mother spent her entire childhood on government assistance and she did not even finish high school. she did, however, received a ged. fortunately, past is not always prologue. through hard work as a single parent, she kept her children clothed, fed, and secure. such that we might have the opportunity to use our own sweat and tears to shape our futures. having left full-time employment to a half years ago to finish my bachelors degree, i have maintained a 4.0 gpa. and i will be starting a phd program this f

haley think we can do in those time frames to best improve speed and kass ka pass it. when i look at this map, ~ the problem that john faces on a daily basis becomes very obvious to me. why is bart beating us to the southeast corner of the city, you know, twice as fast, why? they have a right-of-way. their trains don't run above ground, deal with cars, deal with traffic signals. and their trains don't come together at van ness station causing traffic. they haven't figured out how to run trains better. they just have a more runable system. same thing with caltrain. it makes two stops in the city on a completely dedicated right-of-way so they're going to run faster. as far as i know, we don't have any plans to dig more tunnels after the central subway. maybe we will, maybe we won't, but that's not in the current plan. so, to me it's all about right-of-way management. the pinch point at van ness, i mean, we've heard about it and we've heard about it. either it can be fixed or it can't. if it can't, we need to look at something else, but that needs to be fixed. market street needs to be closed to private traffic. i mean,

john, thank you so much. we've got reaction right now on this scandal that is engulfing the nation's capital. i'm joined by former mississippi governor haleytion task force. he joins me now to talk about immigration and a lot more. good to see you, governor. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to get to immigration in a moment. we had this big development today as you just heard john harwood report. that the president's chief of staff knew about the audit scandal. and they're telling us this now after the fact. but last week it was just the white house counsel's office that said they knew about it. is it unusual that a chief of staff would not tell the president? >> well, you know, this is a story that's like a centipede dropping shoes. they just keep dropping and dropping and dropping. and it's hard to believe that the chief of staff would not tell the president. i saw lanny davis, who was president clinton's lawyer, he's not some republican, saying that anybody who did not tell the president about this didn't have any business working in the white house. you know, this is a place where they would be better off to just go ahead and name an

john blackstone shows us how she's now putting them in focus. >> reporter: in palm springs beneath a towering sculpture of marilyn monroe, haley poses for picturesicular those turning to stare. >> reversing the gase. >> look back at those looking at you. >> yes. >> she describes it as a social experiment, catching people in the act of reacting. she e captured this image in new york city. >> for me, the visual cue is, you know, a little of this guy, but mainly the guy with his hand on the belly. >> she first started taking these photos in 2010 in places as distant as spain and peru. >> i actually had notice thad the boys, you know, would snicker, you know, in my direction. here back behind me. >> with the help of an assistant, haley arranges the shot she wants before she takes the position. the camera is set to shoot photos continuously. haley never know as what happened behind her until she looks at the results later. >> this gentleman in particular, there's a couple of him walking down the street. he's fixed on me. it's like immediately. i don't know what he's thinking. >> while haley durjt know what the people in her photographs are thinking,
