in how old do we get that the local level? with those federal agencies. so the fact is trump doesn't care what you think. so they respond. so where is the leverage? millet they can do as a constituent. so with that line of accountability. so with this ideology what is interesting but actually has a huge impact on people's lives. that will be there for the next 50 years. but the thing with the police with us doj that happens that the local level to organize without protest to create space that so many groups have done to think about those issues deburred to say i can do this that people don't is more likely to be killed by a police officer but in virginia. when do you lose your right to go permanently. but so much is happening at the local and state level. >> is there a way to connect people from the very beginning into activism?. >> so from my perspective to see the threat of trump is a little obscure to their visions. >> they have not done well in the past few years there is way more interest to have that materialized to figure out how to do that. but we

into measures but action it takes place at the local level national level and local level and before we get into that action i want to actually go big picture with you here and actually a bit of history almost how do do we. to the stage where we became so addicted if you like to plastic and the fact that they would be five trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans what was the trigger that made plastics so popular i guess that's a very good question i mean as you mentioned before world war two we didn't have much plastic in society all together as i would say there's many factors i would factor at three first of all plastic is cheap benes a byproduct of oil refining which you know way like the price is one issue second a throw away culture of the american way of life like they're associating disposability that throw you away culture with modernity so i actually like this fast paced life associated with throw away culture that plastic is kind of that. a bit with the present a dave and thirdly the intrinsic properties of plastic is a material that is durable is that it's lightweight and

commission, our colleagues at the transportation authority, checking across both at the regional and local level to see where we can be working up partnership. i think we're very fortunate in san francisco to be so aligned particularly as it relates to our work at the state and federal level. the other jurisdictions really do not have that good fortunate. that combined with a strong support of an effective state and federal legislative delegation is fortunate for the work we do. the program itself on the local side, i'll acknowledge my local government affairs manager effective effectively managing the relationship for the board of supervisors and attempts to cover the topics in general we'll be working on in the coming year. we can talk about any questions but i think it's guided in general by some of the work you've talked about vision zero, our transit first. the muni equity strategy. a lot of those policies end up playing in policies at the board of supervisors and there's contract and capital projects. to the degree we have to go to the board for contract approves that also happens under th

, you canjust do things, even at local levels, you can just see this way of living trickling into everytution, almost like a cancer. my message to the anc is to stamp out corruption and to put the people first and not bow down to the needs of big business. lam i am andy, a social worker, and i am 25 years old. i have grown up in a south africa which values her identity but also the next person beside her, understanding that we are all equal. different as we are, but we are all equal. my message for the anc is whoever gets to lead this country, remember, we have come a long way separated, but here we are now, the rainbow nation, it is up to you now to take what actually binds us as you now to take what actually binds usasa you now to take what actually binds us as a country and give us direction as to the way we can go and flourish as a country. my name is samir, i am a student. i was born in 1994, all i have ever known is an anc government. i am just working on an essay about the race and class debate. i think that a lot of the anc members have lost their way and sort of lost what shoul

we have worked on it now promised 25 years, sought the local level it is strong but again, a community group, defendant to a discussion with law-enforcement now on any of these issues whether it is relations with law enforcement or policies, nobody wants to come out and talk about it. they are too afraid and they do not trust this government and by extension, there is less trust of law enforcement and that is i feel that it is very strong and we worked on building trust him partnership for so long. i cannot imagine how bad it is in areas where there has not been network toward partnership and engagement. i fear that is going to result in more bad things whether you are going to see more entrapment type infiltration of communities. surveillance of communities. to, a morelluded general and ominous problem and that is communities feeling more isolated and alienated from the rest of society. where now we're approaching the european structures where muslim is outside as opposed to the american shock sure where they have always felt there were part of -- where the americans felt they were al

for many voters, the only contacts they have had with our party is at the state and local level is when we solicit money or canvass for votes. as a result, voters may question whether our party understands, represents or prioritizes them. we believe the party needs to prioritize the grassroots focused effort of neighbors helping neighbors that will help us reconnect with voters and reestablish democratic party as the party that most cares about and best serves the interest of the people. that is now before us for a vote. all those in favor of six as written, please indicate by raising your hand. it is unanimously adopted. back to you for seven. >> seven is the last section of the party reform, which is promoting and protecting the vote. i will read the top summary. the right to vote is under attack. example, in the first half of 2017, 99 bills making it more difficult to vote were introduced across 31 states. example, in the first half of 2017, 99 bills making it more difficult to vote were introduced across 31 states. in this section, we have one, hree -- nine recommendations. are ther

beginning their resources so that on a local level and federal level they can use all of the statutes to combat these violent street gangs which are a scourge on the community. there is something else that needs to be addressed here. there is still the ferguson effect. i call it the obama effect. charles: i'm glad you brought that up. baltimore set a new record it's a horrible distinction. the most of killing per capita. baltimore we saw what happened with the police department there. we saw what happened with the riots there, and we saw what happened with the mayor's dismissal of the police department. it feels like somehow they are going to have to figure out a way to reinvigorate the police department and get more respect throughout the city. >> when you look at the city of baltimore, that's a city that's 500,000 less. so it is a violent city. we look at that mayor -- charles: it became more violent after the incident where the mayor sort of dissed the police force and condemned them and found them guilty before a coast law had to. >> it created a precedence where the people in tha

funding comes from too many different federal agencies out of the state and local level and how to use the funding in concert with one another and it leads to the obligations, confusion or frustration on your part of the substance part and the disasters part. this is the time to fix this and work down to the local level them to achieve the goals and responsibilities. you have to get hit to get access to the funding. we need to move the funding out of the act up front where people can plan out mitigation strategies rather than having to get hit. it needs to be changed and we need to make sure they have the ability to push out the life-sustaining commodity distribution. it can't be on the shoulders of the federal emergency management agency to push food and water out. every state should have the capability. our cities should have their own capable of. we should b be able to back fill the community can not to supplant it fully. we have to make sure we find low to no cost ways to truly implement a culture of preparedness within the citizenry. we don't have it and it's time to hit the reset

and cbe is going at the local and state level now that we're from the leadership this.al government on experts mental health to address a number of the social issues i was referring to earlier. and that was the basic objective of our program, so empower issues ies to handle themselves so that they don't have government coming in later it for them.of and as i said that program that called safe spaces, the grant for that was rescinded so is basically working now at various local levels in terms of trying to get communities to support it but the community is that it is still terms of ancy in organizational development. so it is not getting the support. however, we're looking for other support that. and i think in general, we want community to take ownership of the project. like i said. government doesn't come in and tell the community how to do it for them. >> so i want -- oh, yes. in the a question audience. seeing a alam, we're rise in hate crimes across the board in our country including bias-related incidents against the jewish community. of fearou see this rise and hatred against

it is time to streamline the government's part down to the local level to achieve the governor and the local government's goals and responsibilities, not my goals and responsibilities. we have to increase predisaster mitigation. you have got to get hit to have access to hundreds of millions of dollars of mitigation funding. that is reversed. it is backwards. it does not make sense. we need to move 404 section money out of the stafford act, where people can play not mitigation strategies, rather than having to get hit and then figure out how to do mitigation. the formula needs to be changed. we ask to make sure state and local governments have the ability to push out life-sustaining commodity distribution. they cannot be just on the shoulders of the federal emergency management agency to push food and water out. every state should have a capability. large states should have the capability. we should be able to back that capability, not supported fully. we have to make sure we find low to no cost ways to implement a true culture of preparedness. we don't have it. and it is time to hit th

i want you to know most of us here at the local level have that passion and political will. we just have to keep continuing to fight and in the meantime, we'll join together supervisor yee, i'll join with you, to push our health department to push our local hospital council, thank you david for being here. we need to see you put some pressure on cpmc to keep open swindel. they're closing the subacute unit at saint luke's. we're grateful they're keeping the current families there, they're moving them to the davies campus but they need to be part of the larger issue. it doesn't reflect well that they're closing two units and time and time again we hear heart breaking story after heart breaking story and they're making substantial profits. we need to see them giving back and giving back in these critical areas we need it the most. i don't know all of the answers but i know you have moved me and i thank supervisor ye for being a champion. >>> thank you supervisor yee. supervisor ronen and i were looking at each other in a depressed state, me more than her because i'm 60 and seei

they were getting radicalized at a local level. they may trip overseas to become a radicalized, and summoned on facebook or on the computer in their becoming radicalized. >> melissa: if you spoke to someone and they were determined to do what they're going to do. there is a chance that people around them see coming in and maybe have the opportunity to watch a little closer and say something to you if they know someone who is clearly being radicalized to make to think that is unrealistic to expect people to do that? >> melissa: when i was with the police department, we engage the community, what ice to say, we are not here to see gary. we want to empower you with knowledge and let you know about the threat. so if you do see something like this, make a call and let us handle it. i was to come at community and their neighbors and all those people are big part of any terrorist program. this individual yesterday, i'm sure did some odd behavior, if he had got that call, he may have prevented this from happening. >> melissa: one of the th

called safe spaces, the grant for that was rescinded, so, it is basically working now at various local levels in terms of trying to get communities to support it, but the communities is is at uch such a level, it's in infancy, we're building mosques, building schools, but we're not building any kind of program yet in the american muslim community. so it's not getting the support, however, we're looking for other means to support that, and i think in general, we want the community to take ownership of the project, like i said, so the government doesn't come in and tell the community how to do it for them. so i want to-- oh, yes, a question in the audience. >> maybe so we're seeing a rise in hate crimes across the board in our country, including hate and bias related incidents against the jewish community and i was wondering how you see this rise of fear and hatred against other minorities. >> okay. so i'm sorry, there's sort of a bigger problem as you're alluding to that goes just beyond muslims and there's a crisis of identity on the national level. what does it mean to be american. what is t

rocked the federal government now the same kinds of conversations are being had at the state and local levelse state house in annapolis, the general assembly has decided they will have the human resources compile a yearly list of all those sexual harassment complaints. what report are the names of the people who have been accused. now, we spoke to maryland governor larry hogan. understand, governor's office and the general assembly are two different separate branchs of government. the governor said he was surprised to find out that this kind of information wasn't being collected in the first place and he also added that in his opinion, he thinks the legislature in annapolis should follow the same kind of transparency and openness that the governor's office does. >> i agree with that. i just heard, you know, in the media that they were proposing a policy. i haven't seen any wording of the proposed policy. but it absolutely if they're doing one, it certainly should be open and transparent as the executive branch policy is >> the governor said much of what he's learned about this so far has been

there further engaging in the engaging with leadership on the ground that the state and local level. within given everything we can from the federal level, and we look forward to working with them. >> and so still attend. sec. sanders: i still believe, and you can refer to the comments the governor made previously, that every time they asked the federal government delivered. we want to continue to partner with them and help to rebuild. that is why the president is sent to members of his cabinet directly to deal with that to further assess and see what other actions we have to take. >> you're getting a lot of questions about will it benefit the president. i get that he does not want to releases taxes, because that would put all of these questions to rest. why theelucidate president cannot releases taxes for 2016? prove what you're saying is correct. sec. sanders: as we have said many, many times before, the president's taxes are still under audit. we willat is complete, not move forward on him putting taxes out. >> i do not need to belabor it, but the president wants to wait until afte

at the local level, we continue to work on a potential 2018 revenue measure through the transportation task force to boost transportation funding plans and provide local regional funds. as part of this work, i have asked our staff to initiate a public opinion survey to inform the transportation task force deliberations and recommendations later this year. as part of this effort, we are engaging our independent oversight consultant to look at the transportation authority's project and payment systems, all of which recently received a clean audit, but as with everything, can benefit from occasional review and fine-tuning. finally, i will close by noting our debt program is active again with our bond, which i signed 22 signatures on a whole bunch of papers to start the funds flowing just in time for the arrival of the new lrv's this friday. i will be away due to travel, but wanted to congratulate them on this milestone and thank the team for the successful financing to support delivery of these vehicles. with that i conclude my report and wish all of you and our staff a very happy thanksg

julie: this is an interesting concept to me that with these rising taxes at the local level the tax revenueunderpin some demand for corporate bonds. is that a phenomenon you have seen and will that continue to be a trend? julien: it could be in a critical source of demand. we think demand for high-grade corporate bonds domiciled in the u.s. will be continuing to be robust. 20 look at our yields relative to some of the other major developed markets, certainly versus core european rates and relative to when you can get in asia, are bond market looks attractive. i would agree with what ira said. it is not really a year for beta. it applies to the investment-grade corporate bond market. we are now at the post crisis in terms of corporate on spreads. we would say you need to be focusing on industries, companies in a deleveraging mode. metals and mining they just went through a mini recession. banking we would put in that category. avoid companies that are re-leveraging, late credit cycle type of behavior. we think there is continued demand for the better parts of the corporate bond markets. juli

on a local level.that is government to government cooperation. >> if this bill moves forward the management will be turned over to who? counties or under management council system, is that correct. >> you can interrogate me all day long, but i will tell you just like this we manage those lands a lot better than they have been managed. >> so if this bill moves forward management is turned over to the counties on management system, is that correct? >> absolutely. >> how much does the county v to budget three monuments and national park unit? >> we would not be managing those lands, your blm, the government's blm and the park service would be managing them. the county wouldn't be managing the lands. that is like saying, do you want to transfer me that land? do it right now. transfer me that land and i will manage it, i will tax it. >> management shall development and implement the comprehensive plan -- >> get back to the question. if you're talking about management. >> i have limited time, sir. shall deve

authorities do their best to keep an eye on this problem but the situation is really poor at the local level we're no longer able to deal with this issue of the federal government needs to get involved thank you very much i know that you've made a decision to introduce direct statements from people to utility companies and this is just the first step in the right direction but this entire sector is highly criminalized in the you need to set it in the well is another question all utilities. because. of about forty seven news dot are you website. november and december are military officers living at military bases throughout the country receive their utility bills their exorbitant in st petersburg region one family had to pay fifty thousand roubles a month this is because of the new managing company coming in military bases are often the band and. they're not supplied properly you're not aware of the situation we can show you pictures so we can show you those big. my question to you is can you do something about this situation this is just another company introduced by the defense ministry and
