very local. after him, we have the managing director for local news at yahoo.com, guiding the company's local coverage nationwide. last but not least is the senator who represents san francisco and san mateo counties, and he is the recipient of spj's freedom of information award in 2010. that is our panel. back to you, rose. >> before we start, i want to get a sense of who we have in the audience. how many of you currently work in the media? lots. how many of you used to work in the media? how many of you want to work in the media? ok, good. that will give us a sense of who we are talking with. great. every friday, we have a media roundtable and invite international, alternative, and mainstream journalists to talk about coverage of the week's news. we believe it is important to highlight good journalism because so much of it gets passed over. we think it is also important to start off on a positive no. with that, i want to start off on a positive note tonight. i worked with very. we were on staff

there is no jurisdiction in this case under local collier. it is work force development that does that. i think that was a simple oversight. the development agreements in place for the shipyard require quite robust local hire and workforce under equal opportunity program and the employment and contracting policies that are in place. the oversight is done in on a train the compliance by the redevelopment agency. as an added dimension to this, the oversight in compliance is not enough. through the development negotiations we have gotten a total of $8.9 million for work- force training, and that is in partnership with 8010 labor and ace, and the city through the work force development arm will match that money in programs and services. if i could beg the patience of the supervisors, i would like to ask cristina garcia to walk you through how we are performed. we need good outcomes, and that is what these are about. supervisor campos: i think that would be very helpful. it is a big reason why so many people supported this project was because of t

it is a local company that hires local people. just wanted to remind you of that. thank you very much. supervisor avalos: thank you. nec's speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors. last week renaissance in the partnerships with southeast career center and city college, we put on a job out there, and it was a real good success. out of 21 visitors that came out, 20 showed up. we had over 350 people. what we found is there is a lot of individuals that have skills. when we are talking about this work force in the compliance, we also want to make sure that we give that some of these professional services included. i understand they briefly spoke on it, but it is very important. not everyone wants to be in construction, but there are a lot of opportunities. there is a program through usc. very successful community development program. a key word is the double lot of impact -- double bottom impact. there has to be a lasting impact. in light of what we're talking about now, we want to make sure the lasting impacts on interacting with the business owners, because the b

we're a local area hiring company.e want to see a fair share of the jobs of america's cup going to local disadvantaged communities. we want all construction jobs to give us access to these unions. that is a lot more important than saying we want local union jobs. we need access to the unions. wheat also want it to be prevailing wage, and we want the jobs and event staging, local community service sector jobs, which many of our young people can get training in a short amount of time to do these jobs. we are very concerned that these jobs will not be local community jobs, but more city-wide. thank you. >> supervisors, i am terry anders of anderson anders agency. i am very glad to be here. one of the things we know is that since it is going to be on the water, what about the marine and maritime? we would love to see participation in see doors open. we know about the other unions. we also hope we can get access to those trades, but let's also talk to the marine and maritime unions, since it is going to be in their jurisdic

he is -- this is his local library. i will not tell you what his address is, but he can walk home after this is done. if anybody is going to get this library done right, with people from the bayview benefiting from it, it is going to be freddie carter. what we did is rather than award one big contract that other folks could be competitive for, we broken up into a lot of pieces so that we could maximize opportunity for local business. we have a large number of local businesses. i think we already have tens subcontractors from the bayview who are going to be working on this project. one of them already started and cleared the space here. we want to give a shout to oliver transbay. another great firm benefiting from your tax dollars. derek has been making sure that we do the out reach so that we do not miss an opportunity for companies to participate. and then we are working with our partners within the government. one of the mayor's former departments, romulus, has been working with us. we have odierno rodriguez, ken, and

we just need to make sure that the spirit of local hire ordinance and local letter of the law are apply where they can be. the america's cup is one area where do want to make sure we can put all that promise. that promise came and we had the america's cup agreement come before us that the board of supervisors and budget finance committee. there was a direct discussion on the number of jobs that would be provided, an economic benefit that would come to san francisco. the economic benefit was about to be $1.4 billion. the number of jobs that were assessed, to be traded, about 800 jobs over all. whenever we have big development prod to come before the board of supervisors, there is a lot of talk about local jobs. it is one of the big selling points we have. i think it is important that we do our work on the board of supervisors to make sure we are maximizing that promise. we want to make sure that local residents will be able to get a job in the industries we create, in this case, the america's cup, construction projects, and other non-construction related projects. our hiring ordinance ha

it is about local control. they can decide where their tax dollars go, in light of lack of leadership of politicians in sacramento, but we are not counting on that type of leadership occurring any time soon. it would be helpful that the politicians will listen to the need of san franciscans and act accordingly when they enacted the next sales tax. up next, we will be talking with an opponent. i'm here with howard, former chairman of the san francisco republican party. he is an opponent of proposition g. thank you for being here. why should voters vote against proposition g? >> in this age of high unemployment and high high unemployment -- of high unemployment, a regressive sales tax will hurt everyone. just to give you an idea, in 2000, the budget was $4.2 billion. in 2010, the 2011 budget is 6.8 $3 billion. that is more than the budget -- $6.83 billion. that is more than the budget of any other states. if you look at the way city hall is, there is over 100 commissions, boards, advisory boards, so on and so for

i am the coordinator of the local clean energy alliance. i am not have the opportunity to address the commissioners, but i have sent letters of various times. i wanted to say from the point of view of the advocates, advocate community that has been active on this issue, it has always been our intention to see these parallel tracks as being very important and integrated, and our support for moving forward to the supervisors has been conditional upon getting an agreement to move ahead on the parallel track of the local build out. as director harrington has mentioned, we expect the work to begin by the end of the month, and we're very happy to see that. just to say a word about that, although most of the discussion has been around the term sheet, these things are very closely connected, because of shawmut marshall said, it is the building of local assets that gives the stability and strengt. those assets include energy reduction, as well as energy generation aspects. as we know, the energy production is quite a bit cheaper than energy generati
