my son is a plumber in local 38. currently in the process of starting our second generation of a family business. the p.l.a. agreement has created so many opportunities for us to capitalize and continue our success in this city. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you supervisors. we have been in business for 40 years and i have been involved for 20. i'm also resident of san francisco. my father was an immigrant of the city with nothing in his pocket. through hard work and a business on clement street was able to show me the values of hard work and working towards a common goal. i am an l.b.e. ad i am a plumbing contractor in san francisco. i don't think the the three are mutually exclusive. i think we can, and i think you've started the process. it is a positive process. no one should be excluded but i think there are guidelines that need to be followed. there are loopholes in the ordinances that the city has right now. i think this helps solve its. please forward the work you are doing and we appreciate the work that

i work on the local road. with this p.l.a., it will severely hinder my ability to continue to work and provide trucking to contractors. ultimately, i think this will make me shut my doris and i will no longer be able to have a business in the city. i oppose. thank you i am a small business woman owned company. i provide trucking services on many city projects, and i oppose the p.l.a. 's. >> thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors. i am a small business and a resident in san francisco. i oppose the p.l.a. i've been doing business here for 25 years. it has only gotten harder for me. the legislature written in the p.l.a. enters my ability to work in multiple markets. it will affect my business greatly. i will no longer be able to track if the p.l.a. is mandatory citywide. we cannot find the suppliers that will work with us on these projects. >> thank you. [applause] >> good afternoon. i am the president of the coalition for economic equity. the coalition has been around for almost 35 years. we operate on a conse

it's all politics is local. you can fill potholes and stop the i am fact of flooding in miami and become a hero politically and build concensus around the importance to deal with climate change by leading with adaption rather than with mitigation. and it seems to me as though that's a huge opportunity that the policy community and politicians have missed, and i think the worse the summers get, the more people are realizing that responding to that presents a political opportunity and that may change opinion more quickly than the foundati foundations. >> i think i'm adding to that. so, but it seems, two things, one, it seems that a lot of the innovation around adaption is happening at local scales and regional scales and one of the things we can do to elevate that and surface that, and i think that's a useful thing to be doing. the other thing, adaption is a really wonderful way to position science as something helpful for people. things people want to do anyway. so, instead of sort of the mitigation conversation,

in the local context. obviously local context matters a lot, but also how people make sense of what it is that is on the agenda. i think that takes some real effort, to facilitate at the local level, because otherwise, very easily the experts dominate the story and the kind of engagement and the kind of ownership that that requires, really, if we're going to deal with these options, it gets lost. second point to follow that, just as a specific example. i've been working and will be back in a few weeks in indigenous communities in taiwan and small communities in rural japan dealing with disaster risk. and there, too, the process of really engaging the local community in that and their engagement in thinking on their own terms about the process becomes really important, but then the other part is how do you merge that, how do you integrate that with global, scientific knowledge. so, i'd be interested in your thoughts on that. raj: yes. [laughter] i'll tell you about a project that i think is very cool that t

all work done by local councils on behalf of local residents. is warning that soon it might only be able to do the things it is required to by law. northamptonshire county council has warned twice in the last six months that it's at risk of running out of money, and has proposed reducing services to the bare minimum. the suggestion, reducing them to 33 core areas. the council says this is the best service offer it can afford, supporting only those most in need. what we have got to do here is spend within our budgets. making some important decisions about those statutory services. we have had to make tough decisions about budgets, and we have to make sure that we protect the most vulnerable in both the likes of children's services and adult social care, as well as deliver some of the important other services we do, the likes of highways and highway maintenance. it's a massive, massive ask. the situation is so bad that earlier this year ministers sent commissioners in to oversee how the council is being run. and yet local government experts say ot

in the early years after ramstein was opened local residents were invited to open house events. the air force tried to maintain a good neighbor policy with its hosts germans and americans often held joint public celebrations these included the start of baseball season with local royalty on hand . this nine hundred sixty five parade mark to the crowning of the local rose queen and the community seven hundred fiftieth anniversary. of that same day the base commander and the mayor of ramstein laid a wreath at the town's war memorial and then dedicated a square that had been named for president john f. kennedy. and. the relations between the two countries were cordial then many of the american troops married local germans. cup but to lose the goal when you know those are their golden years of german american relations from the mid fifty's to the end of the sixty's done in cold and then things sort of cooled off germany took a more mature approach and the post for your commentary that i'm critical of. the vietnam war divided not only american society but the entire western world and

local policymakers get it. a lot of communities are rolling out the red carpet and saying what can we do to encourage deployment? what they get is that if we can get that 5g, it's going to help their community to grow economically. it's going to be essential for not just the wireless industry, but virtually every business this their town. so the ones that get that are rolling out red carpet. others don't necessarily do so for various reasons. i mean, sometimes it's, frankly, difficult to deal with the volumes that they're seeing. we're already beginning to see the ramp-up of small cells a. community suddenly gets 300 applications plopped down on their desk, and they don't have a mechanism for doing that because they're used to doing a much smaller number of sites. so they're trying to figure it out, and many of them need time to do that. sometimes they don't have the work force, the inclination to do it, sometimes they don't get the fact that if they don't get this broadband, their community's going to fall beh

susan, longtime educator at local, state, and national level. one of the things i found most exciting about the lebron james program is his focus on critical thinking, which is often missing from inner-city schools. is that part of your community schools program to ensure that these young people who do the critical thinking every day by doing it -- are doing in the classroom as well you will mayor kenney: the community school model is not dealing with academics. it is dealing with dvd. when a child comes to school in january just like june, the resulting going on in the house. there is something happening. when children come to school hungry or in any kind of condition, those are how we address it. i leave it to the educators to try to figure out what the academic approach should be. we certainly collaborate with them and cooperate with them. we were up in graduation rate. we are up in kids attending school on a regular basis substantially. we are up in reading levels. we are making progress, but i have not been involved in this quickly thinking

it was all on a local level. >> and the media was still very local. how did americans get their news on this? yes, media was very local. newspapers picked up stories from other newspapers and reprinted them. we have a clear indication of spread, andase local communities would form health boards to clean up the to disinfect and enacts quarantines -- enact quarantines. that was the response on the local level. citizens demanding more of a federal response? did they demand that the government be more proactive? interesting: it is -- before the epidemic actually they asked president jackson did claire -- to declare a day of passing in prayer. he refused to do it. i do not think ordinary people were expecting the federal government to do anything about this epidemic. they were expecting their local governments to do that. if you lived in a poor city, to quarantine it -- a port city, to quarantine infected ships, and if you lived in detroit, another example, the local people are demanding that no more ships, steamships come into detroit. that interfere with

ic this is something, these are the people in our local communities, all law enforcement being local, that are on the front lines risking their lives with no routine stop every kay to protect americans. very brave men and women. i think the idea of resources not only financially but backup from the people inside our communities that we have their back against the bad guy the drug cartels and the human traffickers who play by very different rules. it's important that all of them know and that's what i want to convey today as well. mercedes: ron you had a career as a border patrol agent and now you're on the other side of this in i.c.e. what's been the most surprising difference between the two organizations? sometimes i think you and kevin are the same. so it's good to clarify the difference. who am i talking to? ron or kevin? one has more hair than the other but that's a different story. >> yeah, so, what we know about this, it's less of a surprise and more of a confirmation. these men and women go out there each and every day with the idea of doing the best that they can to protect t

local people in the south understood this. so the national office would say can't y'all just go down to where the lynching justnd see the man and tell the sheriff that the man did not have an ax? and the local people are like, mmmm, i don't think so, i am not planning to be hanging on the tree tomorrow, no thank you. so while there is great support and great pride, there is not this interchange of ideas coming down from the top and we are sending the information backup from the bottom to the top. you know where it came from? the educators have a structure that the naacp wants. so you can't run it through the naacp, but you can run it through these black educators. so the same structure that delivers curriculum to schools, typically a top-down kind of model, uses a bottom-up model to get the information to the attorneys. what happens in real time, dr. tate's greensboro story. who actually knows who will litigate a school principal? he knows his community, he knows it. and so when parents and community begin to talk to a princip

the recipe of success comes in three layers, state, local, and federal. and god bless them all for putting their lives on the line. god bless our families that support us every day, who wear the badge, and together we'll make our communities better. >> i'm grateful that the survivors are here joining us today. i would say on behalf of the work force, the men and women of i.c.e., i'm going to do my best to remind the american people, as has been said here, we all took an oath to the constitution. and to protect and defend that the first amendment, the number one in the bill of rights, we all know about freedom of speech, freedom of religion. you have the right to petition your government. that's part of the first amendment, but that does not give you the right to harass our employees trying to do their job. we're going to stand with them. we're going to remind the american people that i.c.e. does so much more to protect this country than folks know or care to think about. i think they selectively ignore it for their own purpose. but what folks need to know

government more localized. and i don't think it's ok if you ask me it's not it's a provocation and it damages the good relationship between turks and germans. this design supporter saw the statue as a tribute to his hero prompting a heated exchange with a critic of the turkish president. and everyone has their own opinion which they're entitled to voice and i'm avoiding mine mine of mine and that's the kind of mind this is an opinion it's a provocation this is a man who has hundreds of people on this conscience why. why. why he's got people on his conscience well is it because he lied his way to power he's a dictator he is and i picked up. in the end the debate proved a little too much for the local authorities the statue has been removed. with the city council deciding it couldn't provide the security needed to keep it sorry for the folks thank you for watching we're going to leave you with some images of the thousands of a wreath the franklins fans who have come to bid farewell to the legendary u.s. singer sh

a lot of localities are welcoming us in. there will be a lot of them and their needs to be cooperation. they need to make sure they are properly permitted. to make sure the electrical is properly permitted. these not saying just jam through, but there needs to be a process, a streamlined that doesn't look at each one as though it is a massive tower. that gives us the ability to deploy a large number in it -- in a fairly short period of time without costs or delays. been talking about suburbs, that's the larger discussion of the first few minutes. how about rural america? it is always a challenge in rural america because of the economics of it. first went to cities, so too, rural cities don't have the things needed for the deployment of 5g. eventually it will come. will there need to be support to make sure it gets there? absolutely. we have universal service today and it is designed to make sure that services ubiquitous. that is what the law states. how does that work in a wireless world? it is a big challenge. at&t is partn

i saw some hire locals is one of them. accelerate local entrepreneurs. i thought it was another. it was something that tech companies don't do very well. the twitter comes at the obvious kpac example of that. it was criticized. and they criticized that if the employees there weren't going to the local restaurants, because they had a cafeteria. there is an opportunity if you move into a neighborhood and somebody says, well, wait a minute. i could service this new organization. that the organization themselves could take those people in and say here is how to make a business. we can help you. i think it's a fantastic idea. >> yeah. so go back a little bit to how the zones were, you know, were decided on. and one of the criteria was that it has to be an environment that would make a new business viable. and they define that by saying you have to have at least 30 other businesses in that zone. >> right. >> and so there are, obviously, businesses there. and so, you know, part of what the local government might need to do is say, look, if you're begin to do catering, as an example, the

there were initial concerns about how the construction would affect the environment local homeowners have taken steps to protect the sea horses that live in the canals we put signs in the middle of the waterways. warning boats to slow dawning not to create a way. not to park too close to the gabion because discovered that that's really. nice. so there's that kind of signage people there's a great sense of pride in island but that you know we have them in our backyards and it's it's part of our environment. all over the world sea grass habitats like that in nice in the lagoon on the sea horses that live in them are under threat of extinction. or the marine scientists at the nih is not based on project their study and further education will lead to a more promising outcome working with an animal like this and having that apted love for animal like this enables you to spread that love and make people aware of how important animals like this in a. system and lower classes hopes the ten years from now see horse conservation will be viewed as a success story. renewable energy as a source o

i spend the her half of my time with local cities and towns, with local organizations. they're all happy and fulfilled because they're getting something done. and you know, 66% of americans think their own locality gis do well, and only 18% trust the federal government. so it occurred to me it's not only the local power, but it's a fferent kind of power. it's not abstract. it's not ideological. it's much more pragmatic. it's money more personal.mu and it's more tangible. and it seems to me in an age where nothing is gettingonin washington, it's a better kind of power being wielded at a local lel. so it's just saying, let's , do tht's move that down. >> woodruff: you think it could work practically? >> it might not for everything, not national defense, but even for schools, evenmmigration. immigration is a tough issue. some people really latove min. we want to welcome immigrants into our communities. some people don't like it they don't think diversity... they think diversity is a negative thing. you could have an immigration system, the first step, they have to have a c

it is also about what happens at a local level, so we have to show local level, so we have to show local and i have never entirely agree with any labour leader in my lifetime, and i have fought for a labour government throughout those 25 years because i know my own mind and i know people wa nt know my own mind and i know people want a range of ideas and to win arguments through the ideas that you put forward and not through the abuse. and one of his other strong complaints is that he says he is concerned about bullying at a local party level, and if you are saying things that i disagreed with, the treatment is not pleasant. is that something that you have encountered? yes, and let me be very clear. i spent a lot of time campaigning on issues around payday lending and debt. i have to say that dealing with some of these issues takes up the time and energy and interest of people who otherwise could be focused on those issues that i know people... dealing with what? dealing with abuse, dealing with people behaving in ways that are not progressive, not the best of the labour movement. i have

but where are locals supposed to move to? zeine el abidine works in the nearby diawling national park. he confirms the gravity of the situation. zeine: i spoke to an old man who told me that in the 1980's the ocean was two kilometers further back. now look at the damage that the sea has done. the government is trying to ensure that people are relocated to a safer area, but the older generation refuses and says, this is where our ancestors lived, we're not going anywhere. reporter: living from farming alone is increasingly difficult. land is in short supply due to the ground becoming oversalted. with their livelihoods destroyed, people are having to move inland. but the diawling national park, 12 kilometers away, provides alternative sources of income. a few years ago it was home to far fewer animals. today, it's a breeding ground for over 300 species of birds, including flamingoes. crocodiles live here, too. the warthog population is flourishing because the animals are not hunted here. there's both freshwater and saltwater in

we see this trend nationally, region alally and locally. demands on construction and labor reflect the abilities to attempt to meet the goals. construction labor demand is high and significantly higher than the previous year. to further show this spike in the demand for work force, when compared to the previous fiscal year, we see a 75% increase in the number of total construction hours performed on ocii projects. 1.8 million additional hours were performed on ocii projects in the last year. and while local work force did not increase at a proportion at rate, it did increase by 44% translating to 233,238 hours performed bill san francisco residents. this translates into 140 full time-equivalent positions as defined by metrics established by the office of economic and work force development. to address the previously referenced challenges, ocii and city build staff work closely to assess each project and each developer and each contractor's activities, including ongoing good faith efforts on their part, which include employers sponsorships o

councils on behalf of local residents.arning that soon it might only be able to do the things it is required to by law. northamptonshire county council has been warned twice in the last six months that it is at risk of running out of money, and has proposed reducing services to the bare minimum. the suggestion is reducing them to 33 core areas. the council says this is the best service of it can afford, supporting only those most in need. we have had to make tough decisions about budgets, and we have to make sure that we protect the most vulnerable in both the likes of children's services and aduu likes of children's services and adult social care, as well as deliver some of the important other services we do, the likes of highways and highway maintenance. it isa highways and highway maintenance. it is a massive, massive ask. the situation is so bad that earlier this year minister sent commissioners in to oversee how the council is being run. and yet local governed experts say other councils are starting to see similar iss
