her. >> larry bush two points one many of you are new in terms of last year or two commissioner renne hears what people have to say it was very much appreciated and the second thing the commission has been taking steps forward with the new i know what you call it a dashboard that allows people to act take a closer look at how money is coming into city hall that speaks well, where you'll be going next and commissioner renne away's raised did issues of the expenditures for lobbyists i was disappointed i couldn't come and talk i was in the civil grand jury and took a 54 of slowdowns i know you want me to do that again, i will not (laughter) >> okay. is there another motion to elect scomplaern as chair. >> all in favor that motion passes 5 to zero congratulations commissioner renne elections for vice chair commissioner keane. >> yes. i'd like to nominate commissioner andrews. >> are there any other nominations for vice chair public comment. >> commissioners ray heart inform san francisco open heart i'm in favor of commissioner andrews to serve as vice chair i've gone through several times

statement that filed nothing you have a head engaged in a group i think they should be on here >> hello larry bush i would also second the question about the list whether or not it's complete of people engaged in elections who warrant being audited i guess those are the groups that have foiled they're a political committee i piloted a group friends of lib that's not a committee and the people with the lions that have put money into the parks measure they didn't folly wonder you might want to delay this with a more detailed campaign of details and not by the committees listed thank you. >> ms. shake can you respond to that are we missing entities. >> the memo does state we exclude entities are raise less than $10,000 and we based think that on prior guidance from the commission on focusing on entities with higher levels of activities. >> okay. but understanding that exclusion of anothers do we have everybody. >> yes. >> is there a motion to select the - >> we don't need a motion. >> only volunteers from the - >> we have in a box the names of each of the committees for each category so we we need a

>> hello, i'm larry bush this time i'm speaking on behalf of friends of ethics we sent a letter outlining the number of concerns looking over this i want to add a post script it that on the calendar that would be helpful to the commission if in addition to the timeline of activities for the staff and commission you also included in here the timeline for political activities that is gong in the city at the same time sometimes i'll be seeing campaign financial reports that helps if you include that in june and september and november there's an election it is an important part of looking at our calendar secondly on the issue of travel and more disclosure i think that the civil grand jury y request wore more payments and not just attractively it's a way in which people will have an ability to respond to city hall interests by writing a check to someone that still wants to see funded in some cases offices. >> and then i think that on terms of the control committee the first step i don't see listed to define how do you know the committee is a controlled committee we don't have a good check list

. >> larry bush from friends of ethics i was involved in the selection of the first two executive directors we crude from new york and the points that you've made commissioner renne and commissioner hur you urge to a e have a process or soliciting combutsz from people if the regulated community and the citizens and people that are in similar positions like for example, ante fcc who certainly understands what those things are liquor or leslie the head of the ethics commission there's a group that johnson is fume with a national organization that is made up of ethics commission people but getting inputs on the job is critical before you look at the candidates and i'm not sure that h.r. a aware of a mostly target the job here is at it's you've added a great deal of duties into the commission staff and also facing a new political investment that involves for o more demands for transparency and greater knowledge of using the internet to get information to the public and prohibited behavior so all of those things going come into place not hire someone to manage a water system it is a new nuance t

. >> hello, i'm larry bush i'm speaking for myself i want to urge the commission to wave a forfeiture i've looked through the record and not a clear definition of what constitutes a controlled committee if they don't see or is that this commission is not in the past as recorded i looked at gavin newsom committee his acid law committee and his committee on the banning city officials from sitting on parties i looked at the aggressive panhandling all of them put on the ballot by mr. newsom not one was listed as a control committee and he took a grateful of money from the people in the committees that coincide and if you look at the materials that are provided by mrooerlz you'll see the minutes from 2008 of the ethics commission as being 10 indoors u thousand dollars or more district by the officials and the commission choose not to move forward they didn't put in a definition as i'm sure you're aware of control committees and contributions to a city offers holders ethic so i went on the ethics website to see a check list to see if it's a controlled committee you have the same consultants

. >> he will larry bush for friends of ethics i'll point out that it is the commission that is going to be held accountable and not staff their protected by civil servant computerization can be recalled by voters if you're not doing our jobs it is one of the of you commission you voluntary a recall and in the past there were waivers or reduced penalties there were high school questionable and involved very powerful political people with reasons such claiming that the person being fined didn't have the financial resources but their form seven hundred they had millions of dollars in property why don't those match up so long as we were unable to hold the staff unaccounted goable only public confidence by the commissioners. >> good evening. i'm janet reilly in 2010, i ran for the board of supervisors in district 2 i campaigned for this officer pretty much full-time for 18 ms. and put together a campaign team i assembled the kitchen cabinet and staked out position i met the district 2 residents at holmes in the street and on playground i shook hands with voters and gave out litter as volu

. >> good evening, commissioners i'm larry bush from friends of itself we're asking you to take up the issue of run starting reporting of expenditure lobbies that's been part of san francisco lobbying ordinance up in nodding it was arltd in a meeting of 2009 and went into effect in 2010 it went into effect they chanthd the definition of a lobbyist a person that makes a contact to city hall people are contacting the public then city hall and so as the result of the change of definition the expenditure lobbyists westbound dropped we'll be happen happy to work on that we hope it exists in jurisdictions like san diego and for the commissioners to put it on the november bottle it serves many purposes there are this kind of outreach to the public and reaching babe back to city hall, and, secondly, it will sort of reboot the commission for the commission putting things on the ballot and moves towards greater transcripts this was something the commission took up in july of 2013 where commissioner hayon was the commissioner president but the civil grand jury endorsed this step in june of 2014 i

bush. >> i see it as a veritable hostage situation. >> larry: a hostage situation? people like jeb bush scott walker they will have to cater because a significant part of the republican base are the people who sent that $800,000 to that pizzeria, and someone is going to take up their mantle, ted cruz and then you are going to have people like jeb have to answer it. i will, it really hurts the ability of any of these republicans. >> larry: do you think the republicans are ultimately going to turn -- >> they are going to pander and pander until the last minute. >> they will have to. in all honesty i will say jeb bush is happy ted cruz will try to beat up that little -- becausingbecause it will be very clear where the moderate republicanswhere want to be and where the farout guys want to go and if that is where they want to go he may be able to pick up the rest of the pie and run with it. >> larry: run? very nice. i like how you did that. >> very nice. [ applause ] >> larry: so how long is it going to take? do you think it is going to be the next election or the one af

larry: ya? >> basically after you get through the nuances of a rand paul over ted cruise or jeb bush their views same. tax breaks the billionaires, cuts for medicare medicaid. most money for billionaire. >> larry: he's leg legitimate -- >> he's the republican dna. to make the rich richer and everyone else poorer. >> larry: okay. rand -- i don't know if he fits nicely -- >> his nuances are on positions that i agree with him on. >> larry: he is reaching out to black people. he went to howard, tperg ferguson. i think he has a show on bet. reaching out to the nerdy millennium and -- why is he going after people not likely to vote, bar a ton day? >>baratunday. >> he's reaching out to those left behind. the wiretapping. that's not something they hear politicians talking to their issues in the direct way. he's not doing what the gop hasn't done. if he reaches out to kwaeus and women maybe he can catch up. >> larry: one person clapping much. >> one person cares. nice. >> larry: is rand paul feeling like the future of the republican party or an ab i aberration? >> probably a little bit of both. i think t

create huge amounts of wealth huge amounts of productivity and i think guys like larry roberts or jcr or vanderveer bush, who is basically the father of silicon valley, were anything from liberal. they were conceived as a universalist minister for pete's sakes. i find it fascinating once the liberal progressives get their bills they become totally intolerant about conservatives totally intolerant about republicans. david: to tell you the truth, craig, it's happened on the east coast it happens a lot on wall street where, millionaire and billionaire bankers become quite liberal after they've made their money. let me just say most 20 somethings are not making a million dollars in silicon valley. a lot of them are living at home because they can't afford a place of their own. won't the message for millennials eventually the reality of policies that don't work catch up with politicians and it's not because young millennials like republicans, it's just because they realize the policies of the other guys don't work. >> you're absolutely right. i totally agree with you. if you look -- look the google guys gave

governor larry hogan met the house speaker michael bush tuesday afternoon to talk about things. lawmakers have until monday to make a deal. alison: coming up here on abc 7 news at 5:00 -- license to drive. find out who is teaching one of the first daughters how to drive. leon: first, the media gets asked to leave the courtroom during a media hearing. we'll tell you why. reporter: if you plan to drive to a nats game on sunday or holiday, you may be paying more to park. leon: if you plan on driving on a sunday or holiday and you use metered parking in the area, well folks, be prepared to pay. stephen tschida is live now to explain why the department of transportation is about to start charging for those spaces again. stephen, what's the story here? stephen: oh, leon it's about money. they want to generate more money, parking meters bring in a lot of bucks. now, ddot stopped charging. stopped enforcing these meters around nats park because they were so confusing. the signage was so confusing that it just decided to bring it to a halt. now, the district doesn't enforce parking meter

larry sabato always a pleasure. thank you. >>> quick clarifies. we showed you an image of jeb bush of0 apologize. >>> harry, carson bush, jindal and cruz. they're awful meeting with this guy today. former reagan economic adviser art laffer is who pushing them to push his tax plan. it would scrap the count tax rate at 39.6% and replace it with an 11.8% flat tax. art this is a plan you proposed to the republican candidates. are they buying it? it really doesn't radical to me. are they on -- it sounds radical to me. are they onboard you look spectacular today. it replaces all federal! taxes the corporate toes personal tax, excise tax medicare, medicaid and it's two glad rates one on business net sales and one in person ungifted gross income and that was jerry brown's plan. except he added one percent so he made it 13%. but it's the right way to go. >> what is their reaction. >> you come out with plan like 11.8% flat tax across the board there that's -- i got say that is a radical plan. what is their response? >> except for i get eye-twisting and gasping gasping gasping gasping and guf

bushes. neil: my predict, i don't know mayweather or manny pacquiao very well. i know in past, these guys lose their money you did not you built on it, i think larry holmes did asl but this is rare. you went into the grill thing thousand on-line. >> you have to keep earning, you can't go to bed say i got $100 million and expect to wake up day with a hundred million. neil: did you feel an obligation, you are very generous with handlers and friends. >> you got to be. neil: and a preacher, i would -- i keeps it all where do you draw the line to keep track of your money? so you don't lose it. >> you know, you just don't draw the line but tell yourself, i must keep earning. you just can't live on what i had last year, keep earning as long as you earn you can beever be -- generous, 1 you stop earning you -- >> your kids and grand kids say pay dirt time, we've seen revenues on foreman grill now have you on-line butcher shop. >> yeah. best meat in world grass fed cows meat will be served all over the nation with no steroid or antibiotics and all thing that make us sick. piece of meat you can trust and chicken. neil: is st more ex expensive. >> no we're going out and be

bush maybe a john kasic or a ted cruz. it's -- this is going to be the most national security foreign policy race maybe since 1980. >> who has the edge there, larrys the edge there? you are talking about -- as i hear the subtext, you seem to think that the people with staying power are the governors? walker bush perry. >> i do. you're exactly right. i think that rand paul has a problem here with the no management experience first term senator. in terms of the foreign policy issue, i tell you what probably the most underrated guy in the race right now is governor rick perry who made a big speech at the citadel yesterday. i think jeb bush can handle himself on international stuff. i think scott walker has got more work to do on international stuff. we'll see. i'm just making that point. foreign policy will be very big in these republican debates. >> i think you're exactly right on that. larry, john, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> sarah, down to you. >> game changers, tyler. we're spotlighting new technology and innovations. transforming the way we live today. meet the company that's boosting productivity in the workplace. we're back in t

ted cruz, jeb bush rand paul, all ten or more points away but these early polls are no guarantee who is going to come out on top. you're right, larry. we'll rifle through some polls that featured prior runway leaders that didn't quite pan out. what happened? is there a danger to being out front early on? >> well, if you get out front too early and scott walker is now way ahead in new hampshire compared to people that most would think are front runners. then everybody is going to target you. they're going to air ads against you, they're going to empty their opposition research folder. so that's all bad. although i have to say, neil, i'm sure that walker and his people are making hay while the sun sunshines because you can raise a lot of money while you are up in the polls. when you're up in the polls the cash register rings. >> we're showing people, as you were speaking, professor, who was leading at the time the n the poll w.h.o. was the party's nominee and we learn more often that nonthat early polls can give a false read and they often help raise money. so if you're scott walker you're seizing on this. what if you're a chris chri

bush. >>> the gavel came down at midnight. the maryland general assembly wrapped up. lawmakers ended the 2015 session with the approval of a last-minute state budget. >> but irresponsible is how larry hogan described that final budget. he also called it a good deal for taxpayers, though. vanessa herring is here to explain. >> reporter: the first-term republican governor certainly had his work cut out for him with democrats controlling both houses in the maryland state legislature. in the end democrats got much of whatbut governor hogan still isn't giving n. the budget includes $202 million for k-12 education, cost of living raises and health programs according to our partners at "the washington post." however, governor hogan says that doesn't mean the money will be spent there. in a compromise, democrats agree to include some of the money hogan wanted for the pension system and $1 million for the state police. several other measures passed during the 90-day session including a fracking moratorium, charter school improvement legislation, and a bill decriminalizing marijuana paraphernalia which also makes smoking pot in public a civil offense punishable by a fine up to $500. there is

bush 43 -- that's trash talk. >> trash talk or just getting a little hot under the collar. sometimes that can be good. sometimes can be bad. does senator rand paul look to skin-thinned? larryato says that kind of behavior can wear thin, and professor, two standouts john kennedy and ronald reagan were pretty good at handling thorny questions. listen to this. >> mr. president in talking about the continuing recession tonight you have blamed mistakes of the past. you have blamed the congress. does any of the blame belong to you? >> yes because for many years i was a democrat. [laughter] >> mr. president the practice of managed news is attributed to your administration. mr. salinger says he -- will you give us your definition of why you find it's necessary to practice this? >> that -- you are charging us with something -- you're asking me to define what it is you're charging me with. you might have me just say that we have had very limited success in managing the news, if that's what we have been trying to do, and the -- perhaps you'd tell it what it is you object to. >> are you asking me? >> yes. >> i don't believe in mangeds news at all. i thought we ought to get everything
