i know a great efforts have been made by our founding was madam clerk and others in city hall, but yet, there is a reliance on a preponderant of paper, where i think there should be an opt in or opt out policy about information and getting those forms as opposed to having all of these documents with duplication to all of love and of us. so i'm going to ask the city attorney to help us draft -- duplication to all of us. this is to shrink the amount of paper that comes to us. he knows? mets unpleased find a way to economize and be smart for the environment, and then also, we should fix the a little rule that came up earlier that a los -- that allows the board of supervisors to be managed in a way that does not necessarily reflect the intent of what the law, i think, ports, and the rest i will submit. thank you. madam clerk: f.a.q, supervisor mirkarimi. president chiu -- thank you, supervisor mirkarimi. president chiu? president chiu: there are dozens of bodies for which we as the board of supervisors make appointments, and only a small number of others make appointments to. at this time,

colleagues, because we do not have the technical amendments from the city attorney's office yet, can we come back to this item? madam clerk, if you could please call item no. 3. >> item #3, charter amendment (first draft) to amend the charter of the city and county of san francisco by amending article xvii to change the definition of "voters." supervisor campos: this item was introduced by supervisor mirkarimi. supervisor mirkarimi: without regard when you consider the last and elections, -- last 10 elections, more can be done to inspire and motivate with voter participation and turnout. this charter would allow election day registration only in municipal elections. specifying voter budget -- registration procedures, registered in election day registration, not applying to statewide legislation. the director supports the idea and is confident of the department being fully capable of implementing election day registration. this very idea was attempted in 2002, known as proposition 52. it was a california state proposition that did not succeed but in san francisco nearly 60% of the voters voted for it. the champion on

madam clerk. representatives from the eta? >> thank you for scheduling this item today. the city currently has a contract that allows tighten to sell advertising on mta vehicles and other property in exchange for minimal annual guaranteed payment or ratio of revenue. the board approved the contract of this year but has agreed to does not allow for advertising to cover all windows or vehicles as there was concern from some members of the public. the mta has put the money into the budget for fiscal year 2011 and 2012. they did approve this item and have reservations, but given other options before them they felt it was a better alternative. the budget analyst made a comment that i can respond to after he is done about guaranteed revenue, but this would not be allowed in all mta vehicles. 5% of bosses, tighten does not -- titan does not think there's that kind of

in this specific case, madam chairman, the city of new london, connecticut, used its eminent domain authority to actually seize private property to sell to private developers in order to aid a struggling economy in the name of economic development but not specifically in the traditional interpretation of public use. justice john paul stevens' majority opinion states that the fifth amendment does not require a literal public use. however, the fifth amendment of the document this nation holds sacred, and i have it right here with me all the time, madam speaker, the fifth amendment of this document clearly reads, nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. this decision represents the disparity between constitutional interpretation and, yes, judicial activism. government should compel an individual for public property for the public use but not for the benefit of another private person. i agree with the views in the case which point out that the decision is an intrusion in the private citizens' lives and it picks winners and losers in the private market at the c

madam speaker, on july 8, the city of montgomery lost a great public servant, councilman willie cook unexpectedly passed away after suffering a massive heart attack. he was only 53 years old. he was not just a colleague, he was a trusted friend. we were elected to office in the same year, 1999, and it was an honor to work in partnership with him to move our great city forward over the nine years we served together in the city government of our capital city, montgomery, alabama. willie was known to be a tireless advocate for those he represented in council district six. as the "montgomery advertiser" noted, cook provided a strong voice for his constituents and was an aggressive advocate for what he perceived as their best interest, end quote. last thursday, willie was laid to rest at the memorial cemetery after a service at the convention center. hundreds of friends, family, and admirers were in attendance. it was a fitting way to pay tribute to someone as accomplished as willie cook. my thoughts and prayers continue to be with his wife, lorna, his children, danica, bonita, and triffe

but now, madam speaker, the american people are fed up. across the country from big cities to quiet suburbs to rural towns, americans are all backgrounds are demanding that washington stop the wasteful spending. today, here in this body, we will hold the seventh youcut vote and the american people will once again be able to see which member of congress hears their plea and gets the message. this week's proposal by representative schock of illinois would require agencies to report on the amount already spent on the signs and it would recapture those funds by reducing the agency's administrative expenses by that same amount. america is at a crossroads. we need to stop spending our country out of prosperity and into a quick sand of unsustainable debt. we need to change the culture in washington and tip the balance in the direction of savings. i urge my leagues to vote no and to bring this week's youcut proposal to a vote before the full house and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgoverpblgspb i yi

smith: madam speaker, the obama administration is suing arizona for wanting to enforce our nation's immigration laws but they won't sue cities that violate our immigration laws by enacting sanctuary policies. sanctuary states and cities prohibit their law enforcement officers from cooperating with the department of homeland security to report illegal immigration. with the administration also ignored individuals who fail to pay their income taxes, for compferings? of course not. the administration's policies endanger american lives. in san francisco, anyone with a past violent crime conviction savagedly murd aerodynamic family. in los angeles an illegal immigrant murdered a man. and three students why shot in newark, new jersey, execution style. all these took place in sanctuary cities where they might have been prevented. the obama administration needs to enforce immigration laws not ignore them. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, the chair will postpone further proceedings today on motions to suspend the rules on which a recorded vote or the yeas and nays are ordered
