k's. somebody got their medallion in 1978, somebody like me got their medallion in 1977. we had to drive. most of the people in yellow cab in the early days drove. they drove, and so this goes up to 2010, with uber and lyft on the scene, and even later, who would -- who would offer these -- these medallions for $250,000? the city. i'm not sure why people would buy them, but apparently, they did. why would the city offer them? they knew it was a loser. uber and lyft -- and then, when uber and lyft came on the scene and were driving in san francisco, what did the city do? did the city, you know, say, hey, we're going to regulate you, you flight cabs? no, they said no. they just sat on their hands, and the state came in and regulated, and the result is that the city, who's complaining now about we don't have the authority, and we don't have -- they made the decision to let it slide, and this is the -- this is the -- this is what happened. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. next speaker, please.

but again that issue also highlights the divisions here between the two main parties the p p u k k d p that position the president has to be occupied by a kurd now traditionally it has been occupied by a taken by a leader of the p u k this after this election the k d p now have put forward their own candidate that schools the number of politicians and leaders in baghdad big concerns there sliming that. they want one candidate to be put forward by the kurds for that presidential role. and of course the kurds so far have to stood on the fence in relation to. joining in leave the two main coalitions that seem to be coming together in baghdad the kurds here are very much considered to be the king makers in the future coalition government federal government in baghdad and we understand that these the kurds are waiting for the results of these parliamentary elections in the in the kurdish region before they commit to either of those groups again these kind of issues highlighting indeed the lack of unity amongst the kurds both here in the k r g and with respect to a national federal governm

[applause] small business employees don't deserve to be forgotten simply because they don't have and don't get the same attention as the large corporations. they deserve access to retirement benefits. and as others can start providing these retirement benefits, everybody will be better off. some mr. president, thank you for this executive order.

so pre-k and post-k medallion holders. and they had the ability to surrender the medallion for consideration if there is a buyer. when the market was good, there were buyers and it was a helpful way to transition those medallions into purchase medallions, and because many of the pre-k and the post-k drivers or medallion holders at the time were at the time quite elderly, it was a way to transition them out of the industry. out of driving. and so it -- one would consider it a windfall, and i think that's a fair way to look at it at the time when there was a healthy market, again, it was a way to transition drivers and medallion holders from the driving requirement that this post-k earned drivers had to a retirement situation. but that is how it worked. >> superviser fewer: they could surrender their medallions to sfmta? or to other drivers to buy the medallions? >> we'll come through the m.t.a. and then if there was a buyer, then somebody would buy that medallion for $250,000. so the medallion holder was able to make $200,0

how does to lead the world in access to high-quality pre-k. i talked about high school graduation rates and 84%. those improvements are the current administration should have a goal of 90%. we are 16th in the world in terms of college completion. it should have a goal in trying to raise that and be number one. we are not top 10 in nationalist education. in the united states we are not top 10 so we have to get better faster. you don't hear the administration talking about any of those goals in the absence is deafening. if we could agree on goals we should have lots of creativity on the best strategies to achieve those goals. no one has a monopoly on what works well. may not work in montana, idaho, l.a. wish about local educators figure it out and help them be creative scale what works. we don't see any of that either. the final thing and i'm always maybe a little too honest as i actually don't think the current president wants us to have the best educated citizenry of the world and i think when you have such wrong authoritarian is, when you cal

we talk about pre-k to 12 but you talk about pre-k to 14. how did you figure that out? >> guest: we're all thinking about it, but to that question, the k-12 model of compulsory high school came to the united states 100 years ago and i would argue it held up extraordinarily well and part of why the united states has been so successful both economically but in terms of democracy is we did have a more educated populace and more educated citizenry and the rest of the world. i would argue that what works well for the past hundred years is insufficient for the next five, let alone the next 50 and that we have to start younger on the pre-k side and way before that. and high school diploma now is important, but you can't get a good job today with just a high school diploma and some form of education beyond high school. trade, technical vocation, training, you have to be thinking about it pre-k through 14 model at a minimum and if our goal is not just to educate but if our goal is to help people find good jobs and break cycles of poverty and have a growing middle class, have ase

i have a pre-k medallion. and i was wondering, all of a sudden they said they're going to take my medallion away. i've been working all this time and never retired. and i'm still working now. to my recollection, i gavemy permit beneficiary to my wife and child, who is also a cab driver. and i'm wondering, they're going to take it away, it's my livelihood, i'm still paying on my home and i'm just wondering what is going to happen. thank you. [applause] >> thank you for the opportunity. my name is tim lap. i've been in the industry for 35 years. at the time i started in 1983, i could not purchase a medallion. i wish i would have been able to. i would have had the best cars, the best shift, but the city would not make that available to me. i decided to stay in the industry only because i knew that after a certain amount of time, about 13 years in my case, i was going to receive a medallion, for being a grizzled driver, basically. now they're trying to do the classic take from peter to pay paul, by excluding all o

so prop k, very high level approved in 2003. this is the expenditure that tells you what are the categories you can fund with prop k, the types of projects, who can request the funds, however revenue is expected to be generated over the 30 years, how much that revenue is expected to bring in on top of the prop k sales tax, $13 billion in additional funds. including projects like central subway, and itthe only other thing i'll add is the expenditure plan allows for the kmulgs accumulation of debt. we just issued our bond a year ago and we've got 14 more years in the program. the expenditure plan and the strategic plan requires a five-year plan. the board adopted the strategic plan baseline where we did a true up of the last 15 years, and how we expect things to perform over the next 15 years, we ran our financial model, and that's what ultimately tells us how much each category can expect to receive from their share of revenues peryear over the next 15 years. it does not tell you, however, which projects are going to receive thos

k side of the building. now, as you noted, we are watching flames on the other side, on virginia 5th and virginia avenue side of the building, so to the extent indicates flames having jumped or at least the fireng barge enough to need to be fought from two sides of the building, defie'tely seen that larger area of flames.ng as i'm loot the roof of the building, though, you know, i have to note that at least from the edges, from what i can see o k street, on the backside access to the marine facility here and from the virginia avenue side, i doesn't look like as though the roof has collapsed anywhere. i meanri the int of the building is excellent from the backside we're looking a directly and from the k-street side i can see the entire sidew of as . >> yet, on that western and northwestern corner of the building, fles. flames have really, really stiln dug i there as that hose there on thatextended ladder still pouring water directly on it. the flames have not lessened at listen, aaron, as you were talking, i

we've seen pieces crumbling on k street side here. this is not going to be a building anyone's living in again any time soon, i'd imagine. >> aaron, let me ask you. his is a tremendously long building. how close are other buildings to the structure? is it an island of its own in terms of being surrounded by other streets? >> reporter: no, not at all. directly across the street from this buildin there are several town homes across 5th street from the buildg on t k street side, on the south side of the building, there's a marine parking structure, and then as you work your way down 5th street, there's other buildings there, more townhouses a community center, a school not far from here. i know where i go to vote on the opposite side of the building, the north side, virginia avenue, under construction for a long time here now, that sort of butts up against t highway here, but all the wind and smoke here is blowing arsouth, t m street, towards the navy yard and the river into thosehomes. when i came walking over here fromhere i live, six,

and also by banning k medallions, it's totally unfair, because k people have been working for the last0 years, a long time you know. and we've been following all the laws, all the rules. so it's not fair to steal from us and give it to the purchased medallions. i really am very sympathetic with them that they got this bad deal, but it's all mta's fault. they sold medallions, made millions of dollars and i think they should buy all the meions back and -- medallions back and picking them up at the airport, it's like you had a heart attack and they put a little band-aid on you. it's very bad, a cheap approach and it's dividing all the cab drivers. and everybody is feeling bad. the business, there is no way you can make a living now anymore. thank you. [applause] >> hi, number one, mta is the one who messed up everything. i drive cab 29 years. i have k medallion. i have no benefits. and they tried to stop us from the airport. where i go? 29 years i work in the city, start in the morning, 2:30. work, pick up all the drunk people. i did the 15 years of that. now i'm 56 years old. where shoul

we talk about pre-k to 12 in utah about pre-k the 14th. how did you figure that out? >> guest: i figured out why was thinking about it but the k-12 model paul surry high school came to united states about 100 years and i would argue served up extraordinarily well and part of the reason it's been so successful in terms of a vibrant democracy if we did have a more educated populace than the rest of the world i would argue that worked well for the past 100 years is insufficient for the next five let alone the next 50. we have to start younger in the pre-k side and a high school diploma now is important. you can't get a good job today without a diploma. four-year university, two-year colleges. we have to be thinking about a pre-k through 14 model at a minimum. again if our goal is not just to educate but if our goal is to help young people find good jobs and have a growing middle-class and physically and gauge democracy a chance to earn a decent living and supportive family is what we all want for our kids and for our families. i'm not federal. when i was in high school i

d p and the p k one posts are trying to obviously capitalize. following this full year of politics in this region during this election the k d p very much blame dippy u.k. and around kid cook for being complicit with the federal government in withdrawing from that area and basically giving that oil rich area back to the baghdad government there are also many people here who blame barzani the leader of the k d p for that failed referendum attempt that resulted in being punished so heavily by baghdad voters here so people are saying are very apathetic it's expected that there will be quite a low turnout here and we could see some of the traditional party certainly the p u k losing to some of the smaller polities here but what analysts are saying is it is vital that some sort of unity some sort of understanding comes out of this election between the k t p and the p u k in order for them to put more pressure on the baghdad government as baghdad struggles itself obviously to bring together some sort of coalition federal government in the capital than

i have worked hard to get more money into k-12 education. that is why we worked so hard on your initiatives in the first four years. we were able to get that advance appropriated to our teachers because our general fund is overflowing with dollars. our economy is booming and the cbo put out a report april 11 that showed a $1.5 billion surplus and what i wanted to do was communicate to our teachers the commitment we would make going forward. you will remember in the state to talktate i was able about restoring additional assistance, $100 billion last next $371 million over the four years. more is needed. we are getting these dollars to our teachers in southern arizona as well. mr. garcia: doug ducey's quick reversal on red thread is the example of him being a follower, not a leader. out, to teachers walking all he said he could afford was a 2% raise over four years and it was only after political pressure of losing his position he suddenly found the courage to do something at that point. plan and itailed look forward to sharing it with voters
