least get stuff done. and that is exactly what people are looking for and it is what they hold us accountable to. >> what we're seeing at legislative level, at one point it was, that congress may be dysfunctional but at least at the legislative level governors would, in most states have to deal with one body or maybe both that were of a different party. now you have more one party controlled legislatures than we've in certainly in recent history. so, tell me though about how that works? i think we're seeing some backlash. we're seeing a lot of states where there is an agenda, both on the left and the right, that is much more partisan and where we're seeing voters feeling as frustrated with their state government as they are with what is happening with washington? >> this is all i've known as governor. i was elected in 2008. before i was, i'm a democrat. democrats were in the minority in the house. since i was elected we had a majority in both chambers. and so that brings with its own blessings and its own difficulties for sure. part of what we always have to do is make sure we're focused on where people want us to be focused and no

data in the way that was going to be most effective and meaning the [speaker not understood] legislation and least burdensome. so, what we did is we put the equal pay advisory board together and have tasked the board to do this. and if you look at the legislation on page -- on page 9, we have required that experts in quantitative gender analysis, including statistics, a person who work in a small or medium size business that has contracted with the city and county of san francisco, a person who is responsible for human resources, responsible for diversity, person with expertise on discrimination, against women of color, a person whos ha worked as a discrimination or employment lawyer with emphasis on gender equity, that there be a representative that have all of the requisite knowledge and expertise to be able to put a data collection system together that is going to meet these twin goals of being able to identify whether or not discrimination is taking place, but at the same time minimize burden on businesses he. and, so, that's why he we set it up in this way because we realized that it's compli

it's only fair before we move forward with this at least allow them to provide legislation a they work for their companies so they have a better understanding of it. i would be fine with a continuance to allow for the opportunity for that to happen, which means that between now and if this legislation is continued to the following week, that would probably be sufficient time to have that discussion in order to make a determination as to whether or not -- can remained or not. i'm happy to withdraw my motion, but if we don't, then i want to keep it active. thank you. >> president chiu. >> thank you, mr. chair and colleagues. thank you for your thoughtfulness on the various amendments to the legislation. let me just address my perspectives on what has been proposed. first of all, with regard to the motion to continue, this legislation has been, as i think many of you know, a long work in progress. the conversation really started last year during the family friendly workplace ordinance discussion. we decided to take out the predictability provisions to what we would refer this year. my off

sweep last week, both parties talking about getting along, at least enough to pass legislation. i don't think anyone was surprised it took a week for both sides to head to the trenches, and get into a battle they are in. the rhetoric on immigration has heated up. >> yes, that truce lasted about a week. no one expected it to last very long. now immigration - things have escalated quickly. some republicans in the house threatening it shut down the federal government if the president issues an order allowing - that postpones or cancels the deportation of mean illegal immigrants. it is a serious threat, and can blow back in the face of the republicans. >> let listen to something that mitch mcconnell was asked. >> we will not shut the government down, threatening default on national debt. we will not shut the government down or threatening to default on national debt. >> the majority leader harry reid said that he may not buy it, so he asked the white house to delay an executive order on immigration until a spending bill passes to keep the government running. michael, can the preside

the legislation creates an initial phase during which the legislation will actually not go into effect or at least the data collecting requirement. during that period the director of the human rights commission is charged with the responsibility of convening a working group to design a data collection system that is best suited to both identify if wage discrimination is taking place at a workplace and to also minimize the administrative burden on city contractors. the board of supervisors mayor's office and the commission on the status of women will appoint members to this working group. and let me say that i at some point when we began this process, we thought of legislating the exact data that the city should collect, but we thought it was important to be as inclusive as possible to have this wait period so that we gave every person who may have a say on this an opportunity to weigh in. after conversationses with martha burk who designed the data collection system for new mexico, we created in this legislation the equal pay advisory board which will be responsible for designing the right system

the visits also included meetings with legislators, senators, congressmen. usually at least one or two ceremonial visits to the white house. the work of the delegations centered around diplomacy. washington became more than that for native people. there also quote unquote official delegations. native leaders would come to the city of their own accord, seeking an presence with the office of native affairs were another organization. >> in your mind, are those delegates claiming space in washington just by their presence? >> presence is important. in rethinking historical literature on the city itself, this is kind of the salvage part of the project. reclaiming that history of a native presence. i have suggested in some of the early work that i have done that this was a normative experience for many native leaders. some of the writing that exists on the native presence in washington focuses on how it may have been an alien place. it may have seemed overwhelming to native visitors. that would have been true of any rural visitor in 19th-century washington or the 19th-century unit

get up to the steps and rent it out on the top and so this legislation will, if you are doing the mandatory, or the buildings that are at least five units and three stories and do an evaluation. and we know that there are a lot of apartments where there are no units at all, and you will add the two units and the legislation will allow them to do that. and the basically the same rules will fly from the castro legislation in terms of the building envelope and the code, and modification, and so forth. and the one exception that you will see that it does allow for up to a three foot bump in height. and because there are some situation wheres that might be unnecessary and there will be two, i think, positives coming out of this, first, it will allow people to add new housing, and in a way that does not create higher bulk issues and for the people that we are requiring to do the retrofit, it provides them with a little bit of a bonus and, we are going to aslow you while you have your contractor out there and your architect you can explore this and do it and it is a little bit more efficient and we are adding the new housing stock a

the choice congress made was permissible because you certainly would just defer to the legislative judgment at leastn the first instance. and if it was so obviously if they allow different limits for different candidates, for example, that would clearly be unreasonable. but i really think the amount of discretion that that word would permit congress to exercise would be far different from the present rule which says any limit what, any contribution whatsoever is impermissible. >> host: will be an example of an unreasonable limit? >> guest: as i say, one that -- welcome there are 23 examples -- two or three examples but one that prohibits newspapers from endorsing candidates. one that provided greater latitude for incumbents than for non-incumbents. one that provided a different amount for wealthy candidates than for different financial circumstances should not be justification for allowing different limits. it would not be a reasonable action. >> host: and in your citizens united dissent uk the example of how the press is different and first amendment press clause itself such as newspaper should be
