ken rich with owd and we have been working with the city partners and lead efforts on several complex projects where we were able to reach negotiated agreements with the sponsors on a sort that you do with a large agreement with a contractual element. you see some of these on your slide. these agreements have been tailored to specific needs and they have produced in part substantial capital investment in transportation. for example, infrastructure rolling stock and facilities, and then also innovative dedicated revenue streams, household transit passes in some cases, parking surcharges, transit passes linked to events. we did this with the project that just came through and solutions that make sense for those projects. moving forward i think it's clear that we're going to continue spear heading large complex transformative -- you can use lots of adjectives, and mix used projects. some examplings are the is that laid lock site, the potrero hill site, the uc campus, and several development projects coming down the line. the emphasis on transportation investments among all the different

i want to thank ken rich for the job he did for the mayor's office. ken kept us all alive and moving throughout the process and was the man who was better detailed than the rest of us. the three supervisors, i've said before and i'll say again, i've read about in the newspaper. i hadn't known them very well. i've not been involved in politics much in the last few years. and came in somewhat skeptical about who they were, what they were, and what they could achieve. but i would like to say that san francisco is very fortunate to have the 11 members of the board of supervisors that we have. they are all wonderful people. and i came away knowing that they believed in common good and that they were able to drop their political narcissism if they have such a thing, they de politicized and they put their ambitions aside to make this work. and at the same time, i think that the coalition of coalitions ~ needs a big thank you because they were a great educator as well. they kept us all informed as to what their issues were. but they weren't just giving us opin

units up until i think 2040 and while the problem is as shown in the eastern neighborhood plan which ken rich was in charge of i think he or some of the others said that the increase in property taxes -- that type of thing is no where near the cost of the infrastructure that new development causes, so but the city asking and more housing and we're so far behind in the hole in regards to muni funding it's a deeper hole to get into. the more housing the more maintenance that we need. we're just falling deeper, deeper, deeper, so i can't understand why we would allow auto planning department is doing a great job in planning housing units but in the meantime muni is falling behind and we shouldn't have more housing until we have transportation and we're no where near that so please fix muni first before we get more housing. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is is ms. tarbox and i am speaking on behalf of the san francisco water alliance and we're concerned about the whole corridor and from the embarcadero station to pier 70. as we have heard today the funding probl

ken cuccinelli has the same problem bob mcdonnell has. the recipient of $18,000 worth of gifts from the same super rich virginia businessman. earlier this week we said cucc watch was officially back on again. will ken cuccinelli return those gifts? well, we now have an answer to that question. no, no he will not. ken cuccinelli told reporters he has no plan to return any of the gifts he received because according to cucc, star scientistic ceo johnny williams didn't give him the kinds of gifts that can be returned which is not exactly true. i mean, one of the gifts ken cuccinelli received from this businessman was a $1,500 catered thanksgiving dinner. cucc can't give back that dinner, that would just be gross. he can do what bob mcdonnell did which is to pay back the giant catering tab. he can give back the money to johnny williams. or he can donate that money to charity. the cucc says that he's not going to do that, though. he says, "there are some bells you can't un-ring." in some ways, this gifts scandal may actually be worse for ken cuccinelli than for bob mcdonnell. bob mcdonnell is term limited in virginia, out as gover

ken mahoney is with us from mahoney asset management, michael from i-tech, and rich peterson from s&p capital iq and our own rick santelli. rick, we want to kick this off with you. we had a weaker than expected auction yesterday. >> the fixed income market found weaker demand for the three auctions totaling $72 billion, 3s, 10s, 30s. but it doesn't seem to have had a significant impact on the current structure. you know, we are slightly lower in yields, higher in price than we were yesterday, and the same could be true from a weekly per expectedive. i think the big story continues to be that the range is extended on interest rates and the curve is steeper, but it really hasn't gotten out of hand the last several weeks. as you can see on the three-week chart. the big story continues to be the dollar index. and maybe specifically how the european currencies, the bound and the euro, are doing better than the yen is. but the japanese don't want the yen to do better. they want to kickstart their export economy. i think next week from the u.s. standpoint, the inflation numbers and retail sa
