are you getting a lot of feedback from those mailers? first question, how many mailers is that? >> we calculated this line item based on the business registration that we had estimated, for this year, i believe it was 90,000 businesses since i have been at osb we have not done a mailer yet. i know it has been -- there have been instances through clients that we have had that are the cases that come through ada complaints where we have wanted to be able to set aside a certain amount of funds to send reminders to businesses. they may not capture all of the businesses. but with the specific ones, for example, auto body shops and car repair where we have seen an increase in lawsuits to those businesses and typically with more underserved businesses, at times, a paper form or a paper letter is more compelling and actually gets to them then an online reminder. we are open, again, to consideration of adjusting the budget if need be. this is an item that we just added to a spending plan but now that we know the amount of funds that we have had, we can sort of revisit this after we've go

this was a district 6 mailer, and the video at the bottom of an internet mailer ad, paid for by a committee, clean and sunset. major funding by progress san francisco. and the district 6 version said paid for by san franciscans for change, major funding by progress san francisco. i think all of us in this room know who are behind that committee, but most regular people would have no reason to know. two big things. number one, it will require the dollar amount of the donors to be listed, so that voters get more than a name and an actual piece of data that they can use to say -- to ask if they wish, who's really behind this and what's their agenda. and more importantly, it pierces the shell of fake name committees like that by requiring that progress san francisco in this example, the top two donors to that committee would also have to be listed, and the amount of money they gave to that committee. in addition, the font will have to be bigger and some other cleanup things that make it easier for voters to know. again, we're trying to give voters information and ensuring they really know who's

tom saying norman mailer they became immersive in their topics and they they took the approach of being like i'm just going to write what i see i'm just kind of walking into this thing george plimpton and the u.s. wrote about this he became a professional football player now you my view you've taken this similar approach he said look i'm going to just going to write what i see document what's going on here and is that a fair characterization 1st of all of your approach and what have you discovered yeah so i think that's pretty kind of going into this place so he's coming but my show is going quite quickly and i just found stories i want to get into the mt gox one really wanted to get into that and i'm quite interested in what's going to happen and. looking back at segway but in doing so you come across people who become very hostile if you took certain people you cover certain topics in the way they don't want and also i've also wrestled with people saying you're a journalist you have a responsibility or you said this or used to say i'm just a content producer now i accept i'm a journal

it was originally done via mailer. now it is through the phone with web based option to allow a greater sample we had over 2200 surveys completed. when we look at the entire sample the ratings are weighted to act for major differences between the sample and the population of san francisco. we do try to minimize weighting. when we look at changes over the time we can see significance for differences between about 2% points. of course that needs to be larger for district level for 7 to 8% to see those significants. here we show the overall ratings and trends. main results in blue and grey is 2017. you can see government has remained b minus. it has been so since 2013. libraries and parks continue upward. transportation infrastructure had been on upward trend since early 2010. it peaked in 2017. you will see a half letter grade decline here. you will see 311 ratings increased half a letter. they didn't change significantly. that is a factor of distribution of people responds. with safety, the ratings did increase slightly

13 , the business round table launched a fight for prop 13 effort including a website and targeted mailersoss the state. prop 13 passed in 1978 and taxed property tax increases at 2%. supporters say it safeguards homeowners and businesses from paying high taxes. opponents say it caused a funding crisis for the state of california. a ballot measure qualified for next year that revises prop 13 to reassess business property taxes every three years. >>> president trump is continuing his attack on four democratic congress women. as ray reports from washington dc, critics are calling the president's remarks racist. >> reporter: president trump doubled down on his attacks against progressive house members. >> they are free to leave if they want. if they want to leave, that's fine. if they want to stay that's fine. >> reporter: after the president fueled controversy in this separate tweet sunday. where he referred to four freshmen lawmakers, saying quote, go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. nancy pelosi fired back on twitter. rebuking president t

and we're so old that -- i was there, we were worried about mailers going to the right homes. and there's something really backward about the campaign having to worry about this. it should be your government, your president should be protecting the country from an attack because these are not just attacks on kamala harris, these are attacks on the democracy. >> i think that would require acknowledgment by that government and the head of that government this is a problem. when up have that left of denial still in play going into the next political cycle, presidential political cycle, campaigns do need to step up their game and become almost independent actors in this space. we're on a new platform, new frontier here where it is at least under this administration signals given to foreign adversaries and backdoor is open, come on in any way you can. just make sure you pick the right side. >> yeah. >> so i think the campaigns need to up their expectation game here of themselves. and not even rely on their respective parties, democrats or republicans to actually get this right. >>

if you think your donation to your favorite candidate funding the campaign mailers and bumper stickersd be wrong. >> i don't know what surprises me more that he spent $12,000 on paella or you knew that. >> i really like it! i wish someone spent $12,000 for me. >> tucker: i don't know what it is. sounds healthy. question two. another 2020 question. despite telling us a lot about the importance of love, there is a democratic candidate for president who says his testosterone, he says he has so much testosterone welling up within him, he wants to punch the president in the face. who is it? >> cory booker. >> tucker: martha maccallum says cory booker. >> sounds like it. >> tucker: filled with testosterone. is that true? >> you cannot lead the people if you don't love the people. you cannot love your country unless you love your fellow countrymen and women. love is the best strategy. donald trump is a guy who understands who hurts you and my testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching him. >> that was the most awkward moment. oh, my. >> tucker: in a long list of awkward moment

running for mailer of kansas city when he dropped out of that race to seek help for ptsd.is week he spoke to cnn's kate baldwin about his journey and the help he got from a non-profit run by cnn hero chris stout. >> my first message to people is if you think something might be wrong, something is wrong and you should get help. i went to the va and they gave me a lot of paperwork and i looked at it and said i'm not really sure i know how to navigate this process. >> even you. >> and i'm in a decent spot to be able to figure that out. and i went to an organization and helped me navigate the process. they have a village of tiny houses. they effectively eradicated veterans homelessness in kansas city. it's a new mission. >> if you want to find out more about the veterans community project go to cnnheroes.com, and while you're there nominate someone you know to be a cnn hero. >> well, the stage is set for next week's 2020 democratic debates. cnn is hosting two live nights of debates wednesday july 30th and live from detroit michigan. here's the line-up for night one. and then h

well, our streets were littered with all these glossy mailers funded by god knows who. i'm, like, what's going on here, and i would often take pictures of it and post-it on facebook, saying, you know, if you're going to litter our streets, you're automatically not fit to be supervisor. and of course, like, there was the other things, like, you know being like, influenced by diagnosed -- like, who knows, ron conway or whatever? but you know, i kind of, like, took the opportunity to troll some people. i said send some pictures of glossy fliers with bad color schemes. and said pick up your trash. and i want to know where that fucking trash is coming from. this proposition is so fucking necessary. we need to get it on the ballot and get rid of this shit, and if we can't get rid of this shit, we need to know what's littering our streets with it. >> chair ronen: good morning. >> my name is vivian torelli. i have been a campaign worker since 1985, for art agnos. i carefully choose my candidates in terms of what they can bring to my city in terms of values, organization, and in

so if you think your donation to your favorite candidate is just funding campaign mailers and bumperstickers, you'd be wrong. julie? >> julie: all right. must have been really good paella. i understand it has no shrimp in it. >> reporter: you are asking the wrong person. >> julie: if you're gonna pay 12,000 you said? >> reporter: if it does have shrimp, i hope they ate it. >> julie: i don't think they had shrimp. aren't you paying for the seafood? $12,000 in sausage and rice. >> reporter: we can google that and have it for you tomorrow. >> julie: please do. see you later. the house passed a bill that would more than double the minimum wage, but one democratic congress woman said it needs to be even higher. plus, canadian police releasing new video, surveillance cam of the couple found dead along the highway, amid new fears their deaths may be linked to others in the area.

-- our department will be doing lots of outreach to the business community and doing a city wide mailer to all businesses affected by the ordinance and make the placards available to that business community doesn't have to always be communicating directly to the customers. so the placards will say 25 cent charge on bags. and they will be available. we will also have the outreach team called environment now out covering the business corridors and talking to the business community directly. and specifically targeting mono lingual businesses. we have already done -- given out 25,000 bags in the past. particularly targeting low income communities, seniors, and limited english communities. we will be doing that again in partnership with supervisor brown's office. and continue the city wide campaign which is getting consumers to be responsible and bringing their own bags, reminders. this all really fits under the overall goals and we have pivoted away from zero waste into generation reduction. so one of the big goals is not stop telling people, but focus the attention on what we're reducing a

you don't know who is funding that pamphlet, that mailer that goes into your mailbox at home. flooding you with emails. you don't know who's flooding your television with commercials. you don't know who is having lunch, necessarily, with staffers or lobbyists. and influencing elected officials. and what we're trying to do is figure out why -- when did it become that way, and is there a way to fix it. >> how do we fix it because we've been talking about it for a long time. >> there's a light at the end of the tunnel. if you pay attention and understand how it works, you will find out how to fix it. in the in the has domontana has. >> i always say montana is a scam because it's such a beautiful place to go. >> in montana, they don't have the proliferation of dark money in politics. they have passed, number one, disclosure laws. and number two, the limit is $180 for people in montana. >> let me make the argument. the opposite argument, yeah, that's montana but the population of this entire huge state is this lan tless than th of manhattan. >> the disclose act says 90 days -- you

you've got to buy television, you've got to buy mailers, you've got to hire staff.ho don't develop that you don't see them because they don't survive. >> when the dust cleared, pelosi was the last candidate standing. >> she ended up getting votes from moderates, even some conservatives. and the irony here is that were it not for republicans and moderates, nancy pelosi never would have been in congress in the first place. >> your father, he was there when you were sworn in. >> yes. >> i can't imagine how, i don't know, beautiful that moment must have been. >> it was lovely. because during the campaign, he kept saying, don't worry about having a ticket for me for your swearing-in because as a former member i can go right onto the floor. i said, dad, i have to win first, i'm in a fight, you know. i have to win first. but it was lovely that he was there. and 2 1/2 months later, he passed away. i didn't realize he was that close to the end. but it was wonderful that he was there. >> he was there for you. >> yeah. and my mother too. >> pelosi's first order of business was

you will have a 550-foot mailer go out. the most compelling are 100 feet people.

you can print mailers as a republican without permission of democrats. they are going to do this because the polls say this will work. understand, stephanie, what is happening here. it should be heart breaking we're actually seeing this evolve. the president has pivoted to a message that is more acceptable among americans just in 24 hours. what i mean by that, what was racist in his sunday statement was when he said go back to where you came from. that was the racist thing. when he singled out four women of color. >> three of the four were born in the united states. >> i know. but this reflects the fact that donald trump believes american citizenship is uniquely a white privilege, if you will. he said, go back to where you came from. by monday and now today it is, if you hate america, then leave. okay. that's not a fully new message and frankly is a very populace message. if you don't like it here, leave. there are still enormous things wrong with that message but he has already stepped away from what was the racist core of his sunday message. it is hard

in self reporting to the mailer as well. exactly what is a census game plan there in terms of advertising and messages. >> the overall message for the campaign issue per future, start here. that will be connected with the link to the 2020 senses where you can apply by internet and is a reminder throughout the campaign to help shape your future and start here. many instances you can link directly in the home the link in the advertisement and others it may be on the air in which they would repeat the website to go to. there is going to be tremendous, we have again one of the largest campaign contractors in this area and we have subcontractors for all the populations -- at least large groups of them. and we think people will go directly to that. one city i was doing, they were putting in wi-fi in the buses in the city was saying we could put advertising in the buses and people can enter the senses on the way to work. >> let me make a suggestion. help the government save money, self-report. >> absolutely. >> that would resonate

they are allowed to send campaign mailers at taxpayer expense. along with the name recognition and media coverage they get by being in office. the incumbent advantage creates a barrier to entry for everyday americans without the connections to fund the campaign. elections may in theory be capable of dethroning incumbents but that is and how it works in but that is not how it works in the real world. congressional incumbents have a 98% reelection rate. that probably explains why congress looks more like a country club than a melting pot. it is predominately made of lawyers and politicians and disproportionately old, white, rich, male. term limits would give us diversity of our society. the message incumbents send young people like me seems to be, we want you close enough to the political process to help us win but don't get too close and take our jobs. the american people have lost confidence in the congress. we see abuses of power routinely. 18 months ago, members of congress were secretly using taxpayer money to settle lawsuits , some for sexual
