at the local level chair avalos talked about the workshops it's been a good way to start the process there's a lot of good work we need to share citywide and we hope all the open houses continue to attract the public we're getting good suggestions that are equitable and effective way to move forward in terms of investments last time we got proposals from the public i encourage you to come out and it's early and we can bring those ideas into the policy process. may is also a busy month for vision zero work as we know a few months ago the first vision zero meeting we continue to work on the improvements as well as to participate in the statewide efforts we had staffs and supervisor kim's office to come to sacramento with the city team to pub talk about the pedestrian safety we're setting a high bar we're an ambitious city toe meet the long term goals and the a long time action for the pedestrian safety through the 3 major straechlgz of street it design, improvement and education. in addition we've had a enter agency discussion around brt a robust conversation we're looking at moved the

the kinds of people who are in washington versus the kinds of at the localrve level that at the local levelcan figure this stuff out? theye national level cannot. we are all human beings. ha is the difference in the beings we send to washington versus the one ones t elect locally? >> two differences. in a bubble a long way from where people live and work. in the local politics you can't escape, that is number one. number tortion the republicans and -- number tortion the democratss and gerrymandered the districts so they pick the voters by computerized design. pick their own voters in this off in theice it other area. gives them a one party state domination in over 90% of the congressional district so they don't have to worry about the party.arge it as total autocracy. localsn't operate at the level but can bubble up from the local level. idea is left right saying we don't like where we can disagree on taxes. trillionsike how our of dollars are being spent. we don't want to spend them bridgesup countries and across the world. we want to repair the bridges and schools and clinics and librarie

so much it seems these days is being done at the local level.little is being done in washington. why areot washington -- we not seeing more leadership on this issue in washington? think the issue, i main reason is because our political system has been bought and paid for by the companies that have an interest in keeping consumers in the dark. chemical companies that want to make sure that they are free to sell whatever products they want to spray on crops and whatever genetically engineered plants they want to spray them on. and politicians that too often are in the thrall of these companies and in there debt. we don't have any way to raise $40 million to fight these battles. that is just the amount of money that the food companies that monsanto and a few other chemical companies spent in california to defeat a ballot measure. in washington, it is hundreds of lobbyists, hundreds and hundreds of dollars in campaign contributions, and a lack of political kurds. -- political courage. but we have made this a kitchen table discussion about food. once

. >> another objection raised at the local level is not only nebraska but oklahoma in other states with the pipeline goes through. although it down to texas from canada. has trampled on the land owners rights and sees the property. are you concerned about individual people whose property has been taken for the rochester? -- for the project? >> yes, i am most concerned about rights. --far as the root itself route itself, they need to be respectful and work for them. they are working out terms but if there are any disputes, people have to be dealt with fairly and property rights properly respected. >> looking ahead to the senate debate this week, the keystone pipeline issue is coming up in conjunction with energy efficiency bill that has bipartisan support and is sponsored by your colleagues from new hampshire and ohio. there are a number of other energy related amendments and proposals that republican senators would like to offer in connection with that legislation. as far as where things stand on the broader question of the energy debate, the senate republicans would like to have it and

say at the local level are you talking about on an onbase local level or an offbase? are they referring to the d.o.d. hot line to say at the l level are you talking about on an onbase local level or an offbase? are they referring to the d.o.d. hot line to other community help an easily remembered lines for assault? lines.e are military >> when your sque makes this recommendation will it be like a directive to military personnel that you must use this line in lieu of something that may be available in the community? >> what we want is every installation have one number so there's no confusion and we can also ensure that the service continues. that there is -- the d.o.d. mainline and there's another line. we don't have any oversight over that second line. we can over the main d.o.d. line. >> but i think it's a wonderful idea. i'm not questioning that. i just want to make sure that military personnel are not going to be directed there's not going to be a zrective they can't call other hot lines or other online chat services for counseling and that sort of thing. >> that'

what's happened at the local level, sadly, is that most schools no longer have kitchens. when we grew up, people worked in those kitchens. they prepared fresh food for the children. farms were close to the school. local produce was brought in. it's all changed. many schools just have warmers now and they bring in this processed food that's high in fat, high in salt, high in sugar. they warm it up and feed it to the children. it's really not healthy for the children. and you know what, the medical outcomes show it. so we have to check -- i give first lady michelle obama so much credit because she is pointing at something that is so important and she's putting her credibility on the line as first lady of this country saying our children are our most important asset. we have to take good care of them. we have to feed them properly, and we have a role at the federal level in setting the best standards and finding ways to make that happen at the local level. >> you know, helen, it appears to me that it is totally upside down on the hill because today the gop-led ways and means

so i think my view of the message is, let's do it on the local level. stick to some of our problems locally. let's raise up other sleeves and together on a local state level, we can try to work with the business community in fashioning some of the responses. whether it's for transportation. whether it's for biomedical research. the dollars have been cut dramatically some 25%. and yet, nats the life blood of so much of this region. >> one of the conflicts for nut capital is sexual harassment in the military. today, we know general jeffrey sinclair is going to plead guilty to lesser charges and not sexual assault. what kind of message do you think that sends? >> well, it sends the wrong message and it underscores why we have to take it out of the chain of demand. because the argument floor abannan doing the sexual assault charges have to do with undue influence. well, we don't want undue influence on baffle of the victim or on baffle of the assailant. we want an independent, individual within it to make that assessment. both as an attorney or versus. if w

and i got of the local level from the los angeles times. i keep it when i make a speech. sometimes i will take it out and read it to him. we don't. we looked at the heroes in the movies. something that drives us to have flawed heroes. you know, they are rereleasing that movie. we will be interesting. but from actually leaving the york, going to come down. he had just retired from his law practice. i came down and spent three or four weeks. one time i was having lunch with my father and he started to reminisce about when he was growing up. a young boy. the kids would tease him and chased him and so on. and one day the young boy's mother fought a piano. they start moving into a home. and within two or three days this piano music wafted out over to the dusty streets. the early 1900's. and the other kids thought, you know, that is pretty neat. and so they took him under their wing. teasing a man throwing sticks at him. the protected in buried and i thought, drag him back over here . i may use it as a scene somehow. i recognize. sixty minutes had just done something about an i

. >> you're saying you have to do more at state and local level because washington is engaged in some kind of gridlock and is not able to do the kind of responsibility it has been doing in the past. >> correct. and it's the polar opposite of what i grew up with in the 60s and 70s, assuming the federal government was actually the progressive standard bearer, the good change agent, the force that intervened to help fix a problem that was going unaddressed. >> rose: we conclude can actor kevin spacey. >> as long as people have stories to tell and people want to hear stories theater will be alive and well. it was a great experience for me to be able to try to capture. and the thing i think i'm most pleased about in terms of this film, although sam and i are the center of it, what you really do get a chance to do is meet a whole group of journeymen actors and actresse actresses who aren. this is what they've dedicated their lives to doing and they are the heart and soul of what makes theater fantastic. >> rose: deblawzio and spacey when we continue. >> there's a saying around here: you sta

cristal, since you have experience at the local level, let's look what the wall street journ journalhere republicans are one seat away from the control of the senate, proposed limits on hydraulic fracturing could be reveiled, one seat could thwart the ban on same-sex marriage. in the iowa senate, expected to push income and corporate tax cuts. how much will the national landscape change if republicans get into power locally? >> this is something democrats actually tend to be really bad at. we focus so much at the federal level because that's tends to be our ideology. we think of big sweeping changes but the fact of the matter is nothing is happening at the federal level. all of the action is at the state level. what we've seen already is when republicans take control of legislature as they did in north carolina and virginia, you get extreme legislation and it looks very similar across the country because they in fact koord nature a lot of the bills rolled out through the american legislative exchange council and other bodies. it's really important and i think democrats are just now s

that requires a higher level of local match. but opens up more funding available for fleet and facilities. if these sources were to pass we would be eligible for another $5.5 million from the mtc, that gets us closer to the $2 billion. and this november we could become part of the city's capital program of issuing structure. the parks are on a regular cycle and the proposal that transportation is part of that cycle. we anticipate a bond in 2024. and the committee had proposal to increase sales tax, and not moving forward but it's something that the policy maker could consider. together if we took all of those, it could get us to $3.5 billion, and if not $6 billion. we have the opportunity to review and identify other potential revenue options going forward. and i will say that -- closing that gap by 50% would be such a significant achievement. and the impact to the street would be very widely felt. even if we got to that point. >> thanks. >> yes, that was one of my questions, thank you, direct. the bonds is two-thirds and the vl

government puts out every month, but the labor department also compiles figures at the state and local level. today we got new job figures for 372 metropolitan areas all across mark for april. now while we reported earlier this month that the national unemployment rate--don't look at this. the national unemployment rate fell to 6.3%. but we learned that it was lower than that at 5th 9%. that's versus the national rate of 6.3%. which ever you use, the story is the same. jobs are coming back and unemployment levels are going down. but where you're looking for a job matters. look at these areas in red. these are locations with a local jobless rates are higher than the average for all metropolitan areas in the united states. as you can see in big urban centers in the northeast, in the great lakes, in southern california these are local area jobless rates that came in above the national average. for example, when you look at los angeles it had a local jobless rate of 7%. but nearby rural areas that are only a car drive away from l.a. were much worse off. el centro, california, has a jobless rate

so the lack of certainty in washington is creating a lack of certainty at the state and local levels.thought. >> no, no. within that context, what the president and i have proposed is a $302 billion grow america act that would substantially increase the investments in our infrastructure so we can better maintain it and also help with our growing population, which we're expected to have 100 million more people by 2050. if we don't get ahead of this challenge, we're going to see more congestion and crumbling roads and bridges across the country. >> the biggest challenge you are sort of dealing with but i would argue is not at the heart of this debate and maybe should be is funding in the future. the point of the gas tax in the past is it was for the highway fund. the funding option may not be enough. do you have think that only toll roads and raising the gas tax are the ways to fill this gap or is there an alternative here beyond those two items? >> well, our proposal would give governors the flexibility to apply to the department to toll roads if they so chose. we're not using tolls as

regards to running that's unfair to them for us not to give them as much notice as possible on this local level. so i support the idea of adapting the resolution of non-enforcement >> other comments from the commissioners? >> i think it is not goes to effect the maximum to each candidate that should be made clear. >> very good. >> i agree with that sentiment that we should adapt the resolution i don't see how we can enforce it as commissioner keane stated. my comments from the commissioners on whether the staff should just deal with that on a one of basis or prepare others changes to consider as a package? >> i did want to hear more from mr. syncountry you said over the next several months we're loovnth more changes and those are inevitable. >> the supra is something we have to work on. >> i'm in agreement with commissioner keane the more notice we can give the candidates i'll support moving forward with the decision one .1. and just hold off on actually having a full resolution to remove it non-enforcement >> on the point about whether the staff should work up whatever multiple changes to sequ

we also think we need dedicated staffing at the recreational and local level there needs to be a biken place so he know what the cost sharing will be. since march we've had a number of comments most of the comments are chair bryan larkin referred to the geographic entity and social equity and how to identify the goals that are being met. there is some, some concerns the company that provides the infrastructure for the current pilot has filed for bankruptcy in january we're still waiting with fingers crossed as a result of that so that's come up. and we've received a atheist letter from a coalition of bicycle rental companies that are on the ground existing with the bike sharing system and are concerned and wanting to make sure that as we moved it's contrary to yourselfs the bike rental companies are serving the local services not extensively. some good news since mark mta has that announced a share of $8 million to expand oakdale and other operational support and potential support for the potential cities. their transitioning the district. next m t c is a applying up to 10 millions fo

education law project that clearly highlights this for fix for the transparency to the state and local levels as of many others problems in education finland? at the state level as well as the san francisco presentation in this case anyone wants a copy 10 years ago the legislative put an initiated on the ballot to protect all tax properties except for education and what that meant over the last 10 years education is increasing tacoma the debts of the state now totally billions of of dollars and children are literally the only interest to the state. san francisco reports that 34 percent of our stable residential property takes are allocated and spent on occasion the actual number is 18 percent this measures will give education the same preventions up to their property taxes and the libraries received 10 years ago. well, it doesn't bring more money the fact is it costs nothing but that hurts the loopholes. i'll say quickly for the prison experiences they've risen formal our future and this is effecting the taxpayers they're losing their chance to do something better than be last in funding ever

but just like politics most weather is local, and most collective action can take place at the local level. like you can have public health services, which gear up for heat spells, emergency relief in the event of hurricanes. but we already have this in places in florida, for example. people there are very aware of hurricanes, and my basic view of this is that the climate system itself is full of hazards, dangers and perils. there was a study that came out recently that shows that no drought in the 20th century was as bad as several droughts in the united states that occurred over the last 500 years. these things happen, and people should prepare for them. i'm very wary and dubious about a central plan by the federal government because that means the federal government has to manage land use, energy use all throughout the country, and to me that is scarier, that prospect of central planning for any purpose, it's scarier than climate change itself. >> doesn't the air over columbus, ohio, on any given day get its start somewhere else in the united states. >> reporter: the air in connecticut

your prosecution is much better today because the work at the local level but there's a lot of people having to talk to one another this is how to do it in a well organized way making sense of the manhattan district attorney's office we by comparison with our small population if we have a comparable unit we'll have 25 to thirty crime 2345689 this way we're asking for 4 people >> district attorney its not only the increase in the technology i'm following the press reports and the framing it is new populations o positions will help with the tech sector crime by your saying it's across the board. >> we're trying to do several things beef up our technical capacity to deal with the normal nature of the work and throats crime analysis work we're looking at technically tech crimes we're seeing on increase in tech related crimes in our city preliminarily because we're the social hub of activity for instance, we had the network intrusion to help at the same time, we had another start up their business model was violating the law in protecting consumer information we said you have to stop now a

we also see a lot of gridlock at the local and state level. for major infrastructure initiatives that would add value not only to these regions, but to the country at large. i was thinking of the example, we hear so much about the new court in charleston, that it is just gridlock over the permitting and things. i do not know if it is an anecdote or true, but if it is true, it is shocking. it is taking longer to get these permits to do the digging and things than it took to build the entire panama canal. situation where every locality and state could block the national highway system that enables us to go from coast-to-coast in our transportation. i agree 100% with tom on the investment issue. also, this hermit inc. and this -- permitting and regulation that gets us so far down, that is something that we need. it is really dangerous when you look at the electric grid. that is a case where a country like brazil, again, they have a national grid. course, we do not and we saw the consequences of that with the devastating storms and things in new y

we sometimes assume it is innovation will happen at the local level. i invite you to innovate. get a new program, access to a new audience that is not your users. bring a tear. if you have a company like showtime, we want you to film here. we are working with showtime to sex" back tos of los angeles from new york. i hope that you will look at what you can create in the content you are making. forangeles has always stood openness. it is always did for the diversity of this world. we welcome you here. i know you're here for business today. i want to end it with one last note. angeles is perhaps the hottest new neighborhood again in america. magazinescribed by gq as "america's next great city." s museum.asegee we have a great deal at the beach and in the evening come downtown and see a symphony. los angeles literally has something for everyone. come back. in best. let us know what we can do to be more business friendly. , we wantos angeles your ideas to get out there quickly. there are many tech companies in los angeles. one is being created every 40 hours and l.a. understand the

order to address a lack of data about the homeless youth and to improve the understanding at the local level. we found in the count, 914, unaccompanied children and transitional aged youth, which represents close to ten percent of our over all population homeless. and unfortunately, roughly 90 percent in this population remains unsheltered and half of this population are reported to be homeless longer than one year, and one in four in foster care before coming homeless. 28 percent cited job loss, 21 percent, argument with a family or a friend who asked them to leave, but you see a disproportion ate youth that are experiencing domestic vie excellence and for the safety and well-being for their homelessness. and 21 who identify as lgbtq, and forced out of the home due to family rejection or ran away due to family rejection and the youth experience the greater rates of victimization and abuse. and that is one of the reasons that we called these two hearings together and because there is an overlap among these two populations that we cannot ignore from the statistics and i look forward to hear f

we will be seeing this play on the local level. this will be the first stayed wide time it's in play. >> all right. scott december troe, josh richman. thanks so much. fasten your seat belts. >>> jose antonio vargas was just 12 years old when his mother sent him froth the fill fens. after graduating, his journalism career took off including stints at the washington post and the new yorker. but he kept a secret, he was in this country illegally. in 2011, vargas disclosed his immigration status. now in a film, he chronicals his imbrags journey. i spoke with him, but first a clip from the film, "docume "documented". >> the only thing that's happened so far since coming out is my driver's license got revoked which is kind of a big deal because it's my only form of government-issued id. so thankfully the philippine em pacy here in new york gave any a passport. this is a passport i can use as a form of id. problem is, there's no visa in the passport which means that once i show this to the tsa people at the airport as id, if they see ther

guest: how much more even it is all the local level. ws that these localities -- not only are they tasked with building these transit systems, but they see the value of it. they see how a train system or a subway or even buses -- we have talked about subways a lot, but bus rapid transit. they use buses and things like that. the localities see the importance of a keeping a good quality of life for residents. host: carlos from florida. caller: thank you for having this show. i am part of a program in miami-dade county that was a largerecause we fear abuse of toll or agencies down .ear miami they concern is, from a lot of onele, as tolling is mechanism of funding roads, the gas tax will not go away. so the concern is that we have more and more roads, the percentage of roads in miami-dade county, where they we are stilld paying the same amount of gas tax at the pump. --understand these agencies particularly the miami-dade what would be to address the percentages? we could have double taxation with the gas tax and ever-increasing amount of ro
