but locals there fear that parts of the city are not being looked after by local authorities.treets full of dirt and litter, and neighborhoods effectively in control of the mafia. so locals have now decided to take matters into their own hands. if the government won't look after the city, then they'll just have to do it themselves. reporter: rome is more than a city -- it's a world of its own. the local authorities are battling the mafia and chronic corruption, while the city falls into wrack and ruin. right in the center of rome is the piazza vittorio. it's quite a rough area. last november, gianluca giordano got together with friends to open a cafe here. he lives in this neighborhood and decided he couldn't watch anymore while things just deteriorated. the gatsby cafe is intended as a place to hang out. the building used to be an expensive hat shop. local residents love it. mr. giordano: people came to us with tears in their eyes. they were full of praise for what we're doing, especially the older people. they're hoping the cafe will improve life here. reporter: but the cafe

and local governments. my fifth point, i think that this bill actually does create a problem that people haven't previously recognized and i call this the strategic super hold out problem. that is this bill would specially empower property holders not just with the value of their land which is always something they can seek, but by being able to threaten the loss of all federal economic development funds a single holdout can threaten really not just to hold up a project, but to cause a cessation of funds that would otherwise flow to the jurisdiction. this holdout really is specially empowered and i think that's a real problem. as i suggest to my testimony, i see my time is running out, i think one way to address some of these issues would be that if this bill is to proceed is that there should be someway for people to know if they have reached a genuine agreement with state and local governments that they couldn't take fair market value and then walk away and then sue. then similarly there should abe way fo

local government about 2.2%. we're not saying that the peak levels in 2008 were the right level of government employment, but we're basically back to where we were in the mid 1990s in having 150 state workers per 10,000 residents. oh, i should say also that i think someone brought up the idea i think it was capital investments and your work. state and local investments are also depressed below pre-recession levels. that has effects on the larger macroeconomic economy. those are patterns unlike we've seen in other post-world war ii recessions. you see derecordation fees and taxes. that was sort of the canary in in the coal mine. those went up about 100% in the recent recession, but they also went up in the early 2000s recession. property taxes went up 100% and income taxes went up by actually 200%. income taxes are not a city's main source of revenue, but for cities that rely on those revenues, they certainly saw a lot of action there. sales taxes were certainly effected. there's a burgeoning literature in housing

so, by spending it with a local business, we're strengthening our local economy and we're making it more and more possible for those people to reinvest in jobs in our local community. and i think one challenge that these small businesses have, really, is that sometimes they are two or three person shops. so, doing the research to determine what you can apply for can be overwhelming. we're trying to make it easy because we want that 3-person shop to become a 10-person shop to become a 20-person shop, and have that success in our community. damian: are these mostly--ones you're contracting with or subcontracting with, are they national, small, minority-owned businesses or are they all local, the ones that you-- alberto: the majority are local, yes. damian: what message does that send, i guess, to those who want a piece of the pie here locally? alberto: that they're all welcome and that they should all make their presence known because we wanna do business with them. damian: that's awesome. well, it's a great message. if you'd like more information, again, the kick-off is happening may 11 t

they showed up and local revenues. the pink line you see things like the requisition season, taxation prices and that's the canary in the coal mine. those without by about 100% and the groceries recession but you can see that all the wind up in the early 2000 recession to property tax went up by about 100% in the most recent cycle and income taxes when it might actually 200% income taxes are not a main source of bread for cities as was discussed at the end of the last panel buffer cities that rely on those revenues a saw a lot of action. sales taxes as well were affected. there is a burgeoning literature in housing finance about this housing wealth effect. in finance more generally this and i get up a stock that independent of peoples income they tend to spend more when the stock market is doing well. some economis economists asked e with housing wealth wax when you see your home price go up quite a lot, do you spend more quite this is made easier by reducing transaction costs are financial innovations like second mort

they were all at the local level. essentially going to the concept of bankruptcy aside from the actual map of the, probably the most devastating was the embarrassment. it's embarrassing for a community, for the people who lived there, who work there to go through that process. the upside is that once you go through a traumatic event and bankruptcy really is a traumatic event, once you go through that piece, you are a little more willing to do things different than she did before. so in our case, it means this is much more willing to take a longer-term look. so as you dissect what happened, how did things go bad, you realize that the city at one point in time made some very myopic decisions come just getting through the next election cycle, the next budget cycle, that sort of thing. as a result of those lessons learned, the city is going to take that much longer look. for many cities who didn't endure the pain of the bankruptcy, they do have the benefit of the lease looking to those who have gone into that process and

on local charges. just wonder if can you expand on the assistance program and what changes might need to be made. >> well, i think it would be a good idea and more effective to have that reimbursement funding tied to specific cooperation and that is honoring ice detainers. if a jurisdiction is not honoring ice detainers, then they become ineligible for scout funding. i think in a would be a simple fix to the program that is more relevant to the situation today. >> time of the gentleman has expired. the gentle woman from texas mrs. jackson-lee will bat cleanup. >> let me thank the chairman and ranking member for a very important hearing. let me ask just a straight forward question that deals with fixing the immigration laws and allowing individuals to come from out of the shadows and distinguishing individuals who are hero posed to criminals and others who happen to be on status. would you support comprehensive immigration reform? yes or no? >> congresswoman, i've been working on that for 20 years going

it passed about 71% local support. we also had a tee splice funding measure that passed with 68% local support funding more than 3 $300 million in infrastructure. we had a local referendum for a $250 million infrastructure bond. it passed with more than 80% support. so my state, i'm from the state of georgia. we have a very conservative state. and all of these measures have been passed with broad majority. the legislative majority was in the general assembly for the $1 billion in road money. and then the other item that's i referenced regarding marta, our transit system and our infrastuck tour funds have been done within the city of atlanta. i think it's a nice mix of urban and rural showing that whether you focus on rural folks or urban folks, people get that we need significant infrastructure investment. >> very instructive. conservative or republican, nobody found a way to build roads and bridges and transit systems without money. and i'm interested in the -- in what the states have done. half the states have taken

the local governments are relying on it. having something like in maryland where we have reassessments every three years and if you have an increase in your property tax base, it sort of staggers up and you see it very, very saliently, then you can adjust your behavior accordingly, that is better for local governments in planning ahead in thinking about what's going on. i'll say another controversial thing since i did that. the other thing since i got into housing finance -- and i'm not in house prices anymore. it changed my perspective on what we can do. your revenue plus your cash has to be equal to or more or less than your expenditures that are anticipated. it is thought of as this account you can draw from when things get bad or you have programs that are not line itemed and you can sort of transfer those funds over. that's a really bad financial perspective. that's exactly what caused the financial crisis in the mortgage industry when banks started doing that as well. what cities should start thinking about is not a ra

legislatures continue to pass legislation, they soon gave way to local control. the passing year distanced war from the cause that governors wanted to find. although a few went on to some distinguished political careers in congress, most return to obscurity, many to poverty, and faded from historical memory. the new york times wrote that one governor's departure marked the last of the famous war governors. what a distinguished list, wrote the editor. soon they would be nothing more than a memory. hopefully with this book they now have a history of their efforts. thank you very much.

in the normalization phase local leaders and local governments will take on the process of restoring their communities in the wake of isis with our support. the development of a rejuvenated civil society in these places will lead to a disenfranchisement of isis and the emergence of of stability and peace where there was once chaos and suffering. none of this will happen automatically. we all need to support this effort. to date in iraq and syria, the united states provides 75% of the military resources supporting our local partners in their fight against isis. for humanitarian and stabilization support, the ratio is reversed with the united states providing 25% and the rest of the coalition providing 75%. the united states will do its part, but the circumstances on the ground require more from all of you. i ask each country to examine how it can best support these vital stabilization efforts especially in regard to military and financial resources. as we stabilize areas encompassing isis's physical caliphates in iraq and syria, we must prevent their seeds of hatred from taking root e

certainly the local jurisdiction has complete exposure. the federal courts have ruled that detainers that hold individuals after they have been released or could be released by the criminal system for civil law infractions such as immigration law infractions are -- it's a seizure that goes well beyond the 48 hours often, and that constitutes a violation under the fourth amendment. they absolutely would have full and complete exposure there. >> just a couple of other observations and then maybe a question. clearly, the police chiefs and the police officers who i know in my -- in the district i represent are against criminals. i mean, that's why they're in police work. that's why they are called to do that. in santa cruz recently, there was an effort -- the sheriff actually sent his officers out with i.c.e. agents because they were going to do an anti-gang activity. and what he found out, at least what the law enforcement official said is he'll never deal with i.c.e. again. instead of doing an anti-gang activity. they did general immigrant e

even these obscure local newspapers went up in subscriptions. people read about the war. and newspaper editors were very effective. and you print on christmas day the list of casualties for the 14th maine, that is not front-page news you want to read on christmas day. governors recognized there want to have to find a way to incentivize volunteers other than conscription, which was -- that is why i'm saying this was such a hard-fought contest on both fronts, both the confederates as well as the home fronts, trying to figure out, how can we win this war and maintain this sort of, you know, focus on local governments. great question. thank you.

missouri is one of 26 states to preempt local minimum wage ordinances.another is alabama, which blocked birmingham's minimum wage increase last year. according to grassroots change, a national group that tracks preemption, 15 republican- controlled legislatures, and one with a democratic majority, have adopted laws since 2010 that ban local requirements for paid sick days. milwaukee voters approved a referendum for the benefit in 2008, and in 2011 wisconsin governor scott walker signed into law a measure that preempts it. other state preemptions have prevented city regulations on plastic grocery bags, pesticides, e-cigarettes, and sugary drinks. >> as a policy tool, preemption has been used primarily by the republican party, but even that's a bit of an oversimplification, because it's been at the urging of interest groups that are allied with the republican party. those forces that want to fight the minimum wage find it very difficult to carry on that struggle in a progressive, highly democratic community like a kansas city or the city of st. louis. >> r
