>> couple of thoughts about action at the local level and those are not sort of tools we've thought about but there's interesting things happening the cities for climate control campaign. something like 50 municipalities signed up. so through the general purpose around the west about 50 western water providers are part of that campaign already. the municipal water district when jarrod hudson was the first to sign up for that from a new system provider. i think it's a real opportunity for water to step up in that. there are folks from the santa clara valley, looking at a range of local variabilities with climate change being one of those. in both of those areas - and those are a couple of very few examples where places have decided to get involved that local level in climate change issues. >> i've been trying to puddle through the advice i'm going to walk away with. i hoped you would be more precise in strategies. it's not clear to me that it's predictg the future i'm not sure you want to look at,pa leo climate, it's not clear - hearing the pieces early on from charles and port land, deman

that is the key things it does at the state level. >> at the local level what prop 26 is requires us to public -- put regulatory fees before the public? mar or a regulatory fee. supervisor mar: commissioner maxwell? supervisor maxwell: give us an excellent? >> alcohol. >> that was passed prior to 2010 and just stays the same. you will be able to leave that on the books. if you increase it or extend it, if it was sunsetted, then you would have to play by the new rules, requiring a vote of the people. >> one i have wondered about if we were to ever impose a congestion fee impacted by prop 26? would we have to go to the electorate now? >> it could be. you could design the fee and have fight findings and dedicate the revenues. you get outside that and use the fee revenues for other things, it becomes a little more subject to 26. supervisor mar: economicser maxwell? supervisor maxwell: no. >> one last comment is there is a school of thought that the fuel tax swap, either in part or in whole, may be in validated. now a provision in prop 26 that anything that was enacted in 2010 that is in

i also think good planning and the local level will enhance good planning at the regional level. i do not think we can engage in could regional planning unless we know what is needed at the local level. one final thing is that i welcome the employe of the industry. that is something we have been doing for the last six months. at some point we have to move, and i think what is happening is there are people who genuinely believe the city should not have our role in deciding health care to the extent this legislation is trying to do. there are people who believe planning is ok, and at the end of today that as a fundamental difference. i believe with some individuals it does not matter how many changes you make. they will oppose it because they do not want change. we have an obligation to make sure the interests of san franciscans are addressed. that is underlying this legislation, which is why i request that we move as quickly as we can. the body that is responsible for having to make these decisions -- the planning committee voted 5-1 for a reason. they are ready to act. the longer

the state, and $400-plus million is the amount provided to mass transportation at the state or local level as a result of a fuel tax swap earlier this year. it providing over $400 million from the state to local agencies for transit. one of the first things that prop 22 does is protect both those sources of funding. in addition, it protects, and this will be prosecutor for projects like the presidio parkway -- it will protect the highway users tax account from being borrowed and goes a step further and prohibits the use of highway users' tax account funds to pay for general obligation debt service. the legislature in enacting the swap was trying to generate some revenue to help the general fund, and they did. it is booked at about $1 billion. proposition 322 those thorough -- proposition 22 throws that into doubt. some say that relief will be lost. at this point, the pretty clear reading that the general fund is going to be hit at the state level at about a $1 billion level on top of everything else. there is a provision in there that says anything enacted from october of 2009 through the

so at the state and local level, no. no. yes, federal policy, yes, i would say.inois is another state that you talk to the, at taxpayer grants and tax advocates in illinois, don't mention republicans as an area, as a party of reform in illinois. so no, not at the state and local of a. yes. >> hi. i'm on the hoboken new jersey school board where we spent $60 million in 2012 -- on 2000 children. >> i live in west when we spent 101 million note on 6000 children so you're ahead of us. you have an advantage. spent but we are going into teachers union contract negotiations this fall. our teachers union doesn't pay any thi a

get what they need, but i'm concerned about governments at that level. local accountability also, but if you're operating in a context in which only a couple of folks with a couple police officers for example or a couple folks in the sheriff's office have clearances, how does that affect the ability of the mayor, the chief of police, the sheriff, the city counsel to conduct that important oversight and ensure accountability at that local level that we're so dependent upon, and does this, perhaps this notion of role-based access to information which we apply to governors, for example, as opposed to giving clearances to everybody. is that a potential solution, and how did that work out in seattle? >> i think the thing that was most helpful was that for instance the length system has a series of checks and balances as to who can access that system and when it's been accessed, and actually there's several disciplinary cases within that seattle region. for inappropriate access or inappropriate use of information, we had lived with an intelligence auditor, an outsid

level off local government we still miss you have the most i mean more steps local so government is in important key of every city unfortunately there are many political parties in the municipal work is in sin that and then if your particular bill knew at the local level not all in your party so were a key as a blogger national organization is when you put a thought i think we should have proof your worship it or a mixed in with another but electoral system when. mean we support all the level you put up assemblies with the teacher with at least twenty deputies. elliptical is the home petition we get at the low level. building the true us to using our audiences to try to keep it as good and will make parties more responsibility they were. but usually we should have nearly every closer to the daily lives of whereas surely kill shark who could this is another detail. step to string glenn now that you've got a democratic government doing everything that i mean goal which is still making the life of our people better to do that therefore elections to the south. in the december of next year

what it entails any partnership that is called for on the local level and the federal level, the one thing i share with my new colleagues is there are a lot of things that are going to happen you cannot be prepared for. this is one you cannot predict, but you can be prepared for by making sure you appoint the right people. yet to make sure emergency management is ready to go. you have to make sure the structure is in place. situational awareness is key at that point. that is the lesson that i learned the hard way, if you will. i pass that on to my new colleagues. quite the thing i would share with you, we did not have an authority to go to vernor- elect orientation because she was going to a recount. the way i became governor in nebraska, my predecessor was asked to be the secretary of agriculture. on january 20, he got confirmed. on january 21, i took over. he included me on everything. what i would like to share with the governors, know your budget in detail. know your two-year budget in detail, but also be looking at the four-year big picture. that is one of the most critical thin

prevent, as fran was talking about, using some of these collaborative efforts at the state and local levels. and also the schools can provide education prevention intervention services. maybe that would be through a student assistance program, maybe through having something like a chemical health specialist in their buildings to help facilitate and support those students. or if their local community doesn't have a recovery high school or collegiate program, maybe being able to support those students when they're returning from treatment so that they can have access to an adult who is trained in dealing with addiction and recovery. mark had mentioned earlier that, you know, an adolescent coming out of treatment and working on recovery is going to have issues and they're going to need support and the families need support and education on what that's going to look like. and the schools can also be a part of helping facilitate and educate those families and support those families and students when they return. and just to add one thing, there's also this emerging peer-support models in public

not have the form of government in afghanistan nor is it in e near future to run elections at the local levelt is certainly one of the challenges. we are trying to strengthen that local government for the same reason we do it was a seminal event in iraq. at the local level is where the people are and the government has an opportunity to be responsive to those people and assist them with their needs and services. given thrule of nature of the communities in afgnistan, it is even more of an issue as opposed to the urban nature of what we were dealing with in iraq. i want to take my colleagues for participating on this panel and taking time out of their busy schedules. we appreciate all of the comments you have made here and all of you for attending and the fall questions that you asked. thank you very much.

at the local level, the authority of staff continue to coordinate the city families and put into the high-speed process. we have been successful so far in getting the high-speed rail authority to accept a set of three alternatives that are the result of a consensus building process among the agencies. you're sure that will be included in the report. given the news that i'm sure you have all seen in the last 24 hours -- the incoming republican leadership in the house looking at high speed rail and california's allocation of money as a target of deficit reduction. we have at least a reason to be worried. come the beginning of the year, we will most likely be involved in a vigorous advocacy process to help the state retained the funds that are already at the state level to keep moving this project forward. of course, there are implications for projects within san francisco that we need to be worried about. it seems as though this topic will require continued education and continued attention. we will continue to do that. i'm sure there will be some demands for your time as the advocacy

us is that we perhaps did not come here to observe the conflict and we should look more at the local level rather than concentrate on the political shenanigans that go on their. local teams and local civil servants, that is where some of the real progress is being made. the other real point that i would draw from the last few days in afghanistan is this culpable move towards the idea -- excuse me, i do not know if you can hear that but we are in the middle of a military camp. if this is some sort of culpable moved towards the idea of we are talking about. -- palpable move toward the idea we are talking about. >> thank you very much, george. quite a cacophony of sound. not quite sure what that was. let's take a look at the other stories making headlines around the world today. the cholera epidemic in haiti is getting worse. efforts to contain it are being hampered. attacks on relief workers are hindering the international response. locals blame un peacekeepers. >> anger erupts in the second city, although not so badly affected by the earthquake, there is alarm over the spread of cholera. an

one of the things we realized was there has to be a way that cities on a local level can provide these resources from all different agencies into a single place. that is where this idea came from. we know in the city of san francisco, returning veterans will no longer be drowning from that fire hose. through this program, veterans of all walks of life, regardless of their deployment, will be able to call in and find these resources at a touch of a button. that is what we need, sparred, innovative thinking to combat these issues that veterans are facing right now. one of the main things that iraq and of canada and veterans are dealing with when they come -- afghanistan veterans are dealing with when they come home our mental health issues, difficulties in integrating into society. things can be overwhelming, so where do they turn to first? other local community. this initiative will make a difference. one of the innovative ways the iraq and afghanistan veterans of america have engaged this new generation of membership is understanding that technology will be the key to outreach to a lot

we recognize how important it is the health-care planning at a local level recognize what is going on on the state and federal levels, particularly with federal health care reform. the supervisor earlier said we are under a legislative mandate from the state. we have to make sure that our hospitals are seismically compliant. we are under a time line with an uncertain deadline in order to achieve that. we really appreciate your willingness to entertain the amendment, to allow projects that are currently being considered to move forward expeditiously. i remind the supervisors that unfortunately we do not control the approval process. it is possible the project currently in the pipeline will not actually be approved in time to be exempt from this ordinance. i think it is very important that the supervisor understand that any health-care master plan that delays our ability to rebuild is dangerous for the city. it is dangerous for citizens of the city, dangerous for the feasibility of our projects. it puts on hold the investment of billions of dollars, 1500 construction jobs, and 6500 plan
