especially i want to thank supervisor mandel ' office. i know when the activists went to the second floor of city hall and looking for someone to sponsor the resolution, supervisor mandelman when he was asked, his update was hell, yeah , and he jumped in with both feet with what phrasing would be best, but he didn't have to be asked a second time, so i want to thank supervisor mandel ' office, and i also have a fair amount of zealotry for trees. it was very exciting to hear the advocates for urban forestry out tonight and as a member of the urban forestry council, i know what carla said is exactly right , which is the set aside in street trieste f. provided around $20 million a year for tree maintenance, and it allowed it through removal, and as much as i love trees, many of the trees in the city are getting to the end of their useful life and they need to be replaced but we need to find the funding for tree planting, and i think we especially need to prioritize trees that will sequester carbon i'm not sure that has a real factor in terms

. >> finally, i will ask you both, mandell, give me yours first.think he is already over index as it relates to what the initial expectations were when he came back. the trials and tribulations that he faced are fairly well-documented. tour championship last year, i think there were a lot of folks including his competitors that were rooting for him. that is great for the game. it has been a bolt of energy that i think everyone is benefiting from. we will see what 2019 brings. i think i have to be pretty clear here, morgan stanley is rooting for one individual any happens to be sitting to my right. his name is trust i -- is justin rose. justin: so, i was delighted and relieved to see tiger come back at the end of last year. with tiger, "what you wish for. we know what he is capable of. to see him looking well, walking around the golf course with that characteristic aura he has, he moves the needle on tour. people love watching him play golf. i think there is a major championship for him down the line. his game is so suited for the majors. his wealth

here with me now jeff mandel, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs in that challenge. let's start with what the changes were made. you've got lame duck section. you just lost two state wide races and the legislature teaming up with the current governor saying let's take power away from the governor and attorney general. what are those powers they tried to take away? >> there are a whole bunch. there's a tremendous amount within the bills. these bills restricted the authority of the attorney general to litigate, say that he needed permission to do several things. they allowed the lenl slacher to hire its own private attorneys and intervene in litigation involving the state of wisconsin instead of letting the attorney general and department of justice handle that litigation. they changed the way they do rule making and gave more pow vetoes to the lenl slacher. in general they interfered in several different creative and new fangalled ways with traditional separation of powers and the way government works. >> it was always unclear to me what are you suing under. what's yo

mandel than >> supervisor mandelman: thanks. >> thank you. >> so the priority gets people into a priority section. that's for the priority housing and about half of the navigation center beds. if you're priority status, we can place you in a navigation center? we have other centers for other uses and then, we have our temporary shelter system. we -- another collaboration point about coordinated entry and assessments is we are also working with d.p.h. about how to respond when we assess someone as needing a higher level of care than permanent supportive housing. we have -- so they can -- they will show up in priority status, and we will also know that they have not been able to maintain indepentadent housing thus far, and we're working so that that's kind of a seamless handoff so we're not losing those folks back to the streets. problem solving, one of the core components of the system. collaboration point on problem solving is that this is often our first encounter, so we're trying to setup our first encounter at a point where we do an immediate triage, engagement, and connection to the n

jeff mandel tonight tweeting, insisting on tying jewish pain to all other pain races jews from the incidentsts jewish culpability inside pain. it's very simple, and i don't know why both the right and left need this explained to them. a lot of dragging of feet on getting this resolution time. speak with a big mistake, the democratic leadership should not do it. it muddies the waters, diffusion is the issue. if there's an issue of anti-muslim bias, announced it, this is different for this is clearly in the realm of anti-semitism. look, americans have a very close relationship with canada. we have a very close relationship with the united kingdom. and those who advocate and say those close alliances are never called out as having dual loyalties, but when americans say we should have it, a close relationship with our major ally in the mideast, israel, the only democracy in a sea of either theocracies or dictatorships, the only democracy would win when someone suggests that a strong alliance with that one ally that we have in the mideast somehow suggests a dual loyalty. it's the oldest game in

things we're doing at the department of labor, vision centers at hud, private companies like mike mandelllow is here . he set up a recovery center in minnesota. thank you, mike. belden industries in indiana, if you fail a drug test, instead of losing your job, which means the -- you lose the pathway to recovery for many people, also. instead of losing your job, belden industries and other employers like them will let you keep that job, but you must immediately enter a treatment program. and they're working with local community colleges, and they're working with the local health professionals. unshattered is a nonprofit that helps women get back on their feet and helps to employ them, helps connect them with educational employment opportunities. so we're trying to treat the whole person and frankly, the issue has just been ignored for many, many years and we're not going to turn a blind eye to it. it's truly the equivalent of an airplane falling from the sky every day. i want you to think about that because if an airplane was falling from the sky every single day, we would stop and say, w
