secondlyi agree with supervisor's yee letter that out of school time we discussed with director maria sue can be more target toward more foster youth. we should see more funding for summer programs. next flexible housing subsidies for seniors and people with disabilities are important. i want to say that we stand by families as a priority. but we also discuss whether an additional amount in the allocation should go for seniors. finally i think the sheriff's station, station $1.3 million transfer ask is important. it's actually something we haven't really discussed here in the committee. i like to begin discussion here. as i mentioned this is a jumping off point for negotiation. i thank my colleagues for their continued engagement in this process. through our priority process, we've identified public safety, clean streets, clean and green streets and homelessness and housing as a significant priority for this committee. again, i want to remind the public that these policy areas reflect policy spending. if there's a specific population that has a specific need, we should discuss that here t

maria. so it's another reason to question this death toll. we found the cases after digging through a government database that we had to sue the government of puertog the center of investigative journalism in puerto rico to gain access to. help t harvard researchers found the death toll would be 70 times what the government is reporting. for the government of puerto rico's part, they say they are waiting for a study out of george washington university. they have asked for official review and once that is complete they may change the death toll. they say they don't plan to make changes to hurricane maria's death toll. >> we are so glad that you are staying on this and that your investigation and reporting is bringing us the truth about what happened at maria. thank you very much. >>> so this was a fun holiday show. what are you doing for the rest of the day? >> sleeping, fourth of july tradition. >> i'll be grilling out, listening to xs fourth of july. >> the best fourth of july song. >> happy fourth. >> i take your word for it. of the uz the dozens of fourth , it's the best. >>> cnn newsroom with erica hill picks up after this quick break. have a

sue for. we found 26 cases of deaths where they were listed in the government's own database as related -- excuse me, as being caused by this. when you look at the official hurricane mariay four cases that are actually listed. when we talk to medical experts and officials about this, they say that that number, 26, should have been enough to declare an epidemic or an outbreak. that could have triggered a different response to what many felt was a medical crisis. once again, pointing to something else as we dig through those records that we obtained through that lawsuit, pointing at a reasonable to question th controversial death toll. >> it brings to question, we're in another hurricane season. as we look at the information that we have or maybe don't have from last year, it's important. >> reporter: right. other studies have pointed at this. the harvard study believes the death toll should be 4,600. we found it was nine times what is being reported after speaking to funeral home directors. certainly, what can be taken away from this is a way to prevent this in the future. it's so important to get to the bottom of this death toll. if you don't understand how people died,

maria and an economic crisis tourism represents about 7% of puerto rico's economy. you are up to date that's the news update this hour. melissa back to you. >> thank you very much sueof cbs crushed on reports of crow less moonves will be accused of sexual misconduct on the news line is our media analyst with b riley fbr barton great to have you with us. >> great to be here. >> what's your take? let's run the game out here. let's say les moonves steps down or is forced to leave. how forced to leave the position what happens. >> that's a huge leap i don't want to say i've gone there. i want to make that incredibly clear. obviously you have to think about you know those type of possibilities given just the arc of what's happened in other situations and i think that the important thing to remember is you don't get to be a very strong media organization in this environment i think on the back of just one person you know-like cbs he has a strong bench, with good leaders. you have seen other strong organizations rocked i mean, "the today show," fox news, pixar, you know cbs this morning. >> you brought in -- you look at corporate america we had a high profile ceo departur

sues from the present. so the president is focusing on the right thing. constitutionalists, somebody that's going to interpret the constitution going forward. mariae v wade. when i asked the president about that, he was very clear. he said no, i'm not going to ask the nominees their position on roe ve v wade. >> just like he's not going to ask them their position on any ruling from the past. the democrats want to drag the psychic of america back to the past, rather than focus on the future. the other thing that the democrats' actions point out is they really don't care about co-equal branches of government. they want to try and stack the supreme court, if they can get away with it, with people that they believe are going to lean left when it comes to a ruling. this president has been consistent. he wants a constitutionalist. he's not interested in getting somebody that's going to lean left or right. he's interested in getting somebody that's going to interpret the constitution. that's what this is about. but the democrats keep trying to shift the subject. maria: you make a really good point there, actually. let me switch gears. general motors is
