two local city guys. >> there you go. >> to address these concerns, i have made a series of amendments to the resolution that capture the spirit of the policy but would allow continued conversation with the task force and other stakeholders about how we do metering. i believe strongly that the city needs to start developing toes to help create affordable housing. in our housing element alone, we talk about building a 60% affordable, but we are currently not doing that. it is important to start the discussion about creating tools of measuring our affordable housing and creating tools to enforce that. i grew up in new york city, one to my parents who had immigrated here to the u.s. actually, i started really becoming active in working with the community when i was in high school. came out to california for college, went to stanford. i was always politically involved. when i was a college student, i worked on the initiative to get rid of affirmative action in our public government system. currently, we have 3 legislative items that are pending. the first is going to be coming to a final v

narrator: sandhogs are the men of local 147, who work deep below the city. they began building the infrastructure of new york in 1872. from the subways to the sewers, the water tunnels to the highway tunnels, new york city thrives because of their work. ryan: you got one little hole in the ground, and nobody knows we're here. see the empire state building, right. that's 1,000 feet. so you figure, you go down 1,000. how high that is -- that's how far we go down. narrator: stretching more than 60 miles under the city, tunnel 3 is taking generations of workers to complete. ryan: i don't even want to imagine what my father had to go through. when we first started, it was a rough job. everything was dynamite. now, they have these machines called "moles." it's like a big drill, and it just cuts right through the ground. so there's no more dynamite. and it's still a rough job, but it's gotten to a point where it's a lot safer. in the '70s, we lost a man a mile basically. here, maybe we've had two or three deaths in the last 20 years, which is too much anyway, but i

that we could all share in view we can talk about the investments that we want to make in our local cities, but that is connected to our future, and it is the right thing to do. it begins with a great think you to the governor and for your leadership. i want to thank senator steinberg. and so, it is getting hot out here. of course, we know what he had to do. in the aftermath, we are laughing at the success because we were able to do it, but in this critical hours when we had to count the votes, we had to ask ourselves, did we have the leadership and told this? daryl, you have been there, thank you. speaker progress, i want to teach -- think each member of the senate and house for suggesting to the people of california that this is a time to make the right decision. it has been so many years. we have seen a lot of battles that did not come to a conclusion. this is the right conclusion. it is so right, when we made the decision, then the federal agencies came in and complemented it. that is why john mccarthy is here, deputy of transportation. it is the same thing we are doing in our city. we

the local city where the price actually went down. >> plus a new edition to the san diego zoo. the record that was set with the birth of a baby panda. >>> san diego zoo is celebrating the birth of a new record setting baby panda. it's the sixth cub born at the zoo. that is the most births. the pregnancy was considered high risk because of the mothers age. but mother and baby are doing just fine. >>> the bay area is bucking the trend. the average price for a gallon of regular is $3.49. our local prices are still close to where they were a month ago. in oakland prices are down in the last week. in san francisco they have held steady. >>> part of a street in one of san francisco's busiest areas will be set down for the next five years. starting today a two block stretch of doctor street will be closed between ellis and gory streets. the five-year detour is being put into place to build an under ground stop for the subway system. between thanksgiving and new years shoppers will get a break. >>> and to take a look at traffic in our area let's go to sal for another look at the commut

supervise other people and youngsters, who have a lot of time on their hands, and take them out of our local city to go to activities outside the have never been exposed to. some of the kids where i grew up and never been to the beach, never done any kind of out of such activity. it is very limited. even the small nuances helped to change me and them. but the best part about it was that at the end of my first two weeks there, i got my check. i remember coming home and saying, mom, look at this. i knew i could save that money, put it away, and have helped for school that coming fall. i grew up in a large family, with seven kids. mom and dad were working. but just the value of knowing somebody placed a concern on me, and said you are worthy enough to get a job here, but you have to work it out, you have to show up and fall into all the things that require you to be a good employee -- i learned that. just by being exposed to that experience at an early age, meeting new people encouraged me and pushed me to do more. thank goodness, because now i am secretary of labor. i have high school counselors wh

you didn't say state legislature has to pass a law and the local city council has to pass. >> we didn't. we said consent based, but also adaptive. it pends on the circumstances. it may be different in different areas. >> did you envision that there would be incentives to local governments to induce consent. >> we did. we talked about some of that. a research laboratory, all kinds of things that can make such a facility attractive to the community. >> basically whatever it took to create an attractive environment so the people want to compete for this, is that correct? >> that's part of the consent basis. in my experience and i don't want to prejudge this and this may not even be a part of senator bingleham's bill, for a long-term repository i would think that the federal government would want the governor and the state legislature to pass a law approving it. if i were the governor i would want the congress to pass a law approving it. i would want the next president or the next governor to undo it. my guess is what we mean by consent based will work itself out because communities who com

the problem. 15 years later, water quality is on the agenda of every city council person in that local city, and that's completely a result of activists forcing the issue, surfrider and other local groups, saying, "hey, these water quality issues are real and you need to address them." and only until the public sort of creates that will will the politicians respond. narrator: while some cities deal with infrastructure issues, others have concerns about the sustainability of water supplies. allbee: it's not just about the sustainability of the assets, it's about the sustainability of our water resources. parts of this country that thought of themselves as water rich 20, 30 years ago, now are discovering that they really are not water rich, they have source supply issues, they have serious questions about how they're going to accommodate additional growth in their communities. melosi: if we can find alternatives, we can preserve a water supply. conservation of water is a way of generating more water. allbee: we think that a household can actually reduce its water usage by about 30%. and that'

comes into state legislature understanding energy policy under term limits, most folks coming from local city council or board of supervisors, where they haven't dealt with that kind of policy infrastructure and perhaps those kinds of issues before. but it's something that we have to have a mosaic of a lot of different solutions to get to the end point. >>> i wonder, kelly, if there's some concern out there in light of what the obama administration had to do and there has been certainly criticism that money was put into a company that's now bankrupt. as a manager, do you worry about that? >> of course we worry about that. and what i think, what -- was touched on is scalability and market conditions. and that's really what we need in order to provide low cost, competitive energy, is scalability. and right now, i think across the nation, we have renewables that account for a small fraction of the pie. and that's not scalable. so i think what the current administration was trying to do was to spur on that scalability, in order to have reliable, low cost energy, you have to be able to manufacture

thank you for inviting the city administrator's office and the human rights commission to discuss the transfer function of the local human-rights business program. the human rights commission is known for their fierce advocacy, for providing equal opportunity for all, and its efforts to end unfair discrimination for residences, businesses, and contractors. the city is known for compensation. we work with the board. together, we believe unfair competition and the camp -- in the government contracting processes, and that includes -- and an inclusive government, whether you're a woman, minority, small business, a member of the lgbt community, or whatever affiliation or disability may have. the goal of the transfer is to have one city entity responsible for streamlining processes, increasing accountability, and insuring fairness in contracting. moving this to the city administrator's office begins the process of centralizing contracting offices. for many years, decentralize government has resulted in fractured administration, a competing takeover interest to my inconsistent interpretation, and lack of coordination and

what is interesting also is that the local city council is all white. not a single latino on there.latino population has registered to vote at a lower rate. so that's a fascinating part of this story as well. they are very upset now because they don't think that the city council, the police and the city are hearing their concerns. let's hear about that. >> if your' mexican, bald headed, boom pull them over. why? because you're bald headed. you're a gang member. >> they think because they have a badge they can kill anybody they want to. >> we don't use our voices. we don't let them hear our voice, nothing will be changed. >> the police are trying the best that they can. but no organization is going to be perfect. >> cenk: now we're going to bring in a reporter, andrew gumble who was at the protest last night in anaheim. andrew, great to have you here. >> great to be here. >> cenk: talk to me about the scene last night in anaheim. how many people were there and how much area did it cover and then what happened to spur the police starting to shoot into the crowd with beanbags, etc. >>

summer of 1866 when it began to appear that lincoln institute might be established in jefferson city, a local newspaper ran an editorial opposing that move and expressed the fear that if jefferson city became the place where lincoln institute was established, that it would -- it, the city, would become a, quote, mecca for negros throughout the state and indeed throughout the country. so there was hostility and there was difficulty. so he ended up opening a school for two students in september of 1866 on a site roughly a half mile from here on one of the highest points in jefferson city just south of what was then the heart of the town on a hill called hobo hill. there was a log building there that had once been a school and been abandoned because it was no longer fit for human occupation, but toward the late 1860s as it became clear that the 15th amendment was going to be enacted, the amendment that gave african-american men the right to vote, in missouri, the radical republicans were fearful that they were losing power. they had come to power and stayed in power by diz enfranchising, by taki
