and one of those fronts was the legal construct of developing a jpa with marin should marin be able to progress. and i have to tell you, what they have been able to do in marin is quite impressive. and i don't think we should let their lessons be lost on us and shy away i think from what had been envisioned some years ago, that if san francisco can't do it on its own, then what we should do is huddle with the other municipalities, small, medium and large, and begin to rethink how a cca can grow, strength in number. and we may want to do that, i think, with marin and with any other municipality. and that's exactly what should happen. but i am so disappointed to see actions by city hall, present company excluded, that would at least attempt to gut or attempt to bury for good any effort of cca. and i want to thank the supervisors who have come to the rescue, i think, of this very critically important endeavor that goes back now a good 10 years since the first major public power campaign of 2001. thank you. >> thank you, sheriff. are there any other members of the public who would like to

marine in this prison?> yes. >> but sort of the side story of this, is that, you know, there is so much attention now on what we are doing for our vets, when they return. >> right. >> and i guess what, you know, caught my attention to the fact that here is a young man who has returned. he has had several incidents in afghanistan. ied blowing up his military vehicle or the front of it. obviously having trouble. and then going to a v.a. hospital to try to help trouble and then two weeks later we have this situation. >> it's tragic. it's tragic. this situation clearly was a mistake. an accidental turn. i mean an innocent wrong turn. but, we're from florida. that's not a border state. we don't have that sensitivity about the hazards of being so close to a border to be quite frank. and in florida we don't always hear a lot of news about mexico. so if you think about a floridian who is really just relatively new to san diego you don't understand the hazards of being so close to a foreign country where the guns ar

there would be some marines that never left about. this story is set on kampf loser some marine had recorded the song set to the tune of hotel california. the course was, welcome to the hotel camp. you're in a combat zone. go get your ice cream cone. it's sort of gives you the field . but an artillery unit. they're actually engaged. all right. this morning again dropped about 270 pounds of icn. we took out a group of insurgents and then went to the chow hall for lunch. i got fish and lima beans. i tried the healthy. at the table all nine of a smiling and laughing. i still jittery. i keep twisting my wedding band. and our number one guy on the amonte team with me in poland it a big plate of ravioli and pop tarts. and before digging -- the persian gulf, they have pop tarts are rare? >> a lot of pockets around. >> another butters, to. >> that's weird. before digging in he looks up and down the table and says to my can't believe we finally had an r.d. mission. sanchez says, it's about time we killed someone. even i chuckle. we have been t

kyl ran to box and began to pull the injured marine to cover. worried that he exposed more to gunfire, kyl retreated. the enemy rounds followed him. he ran out again. once more he retreated to distract the enemy fire. once more he went out thinking to himself i'm not going to make it. kyl could feel the pressure of the rounds going by him. somehow miraculously, they never hit him, not once. one of his teammates say the as if kyl was moving faster than a speeding bullet. finally kyl succeeded in pulling his comrade to cover. in his final moments, this american marine found some solace in kyl white, the american soldier until the end was there by his side. now that other injured soldier, was still out there. he sustained another injury to his knee. kyl ran out once more, kyle ripped out his own belt for a tourniquet and soon got his hands on a working radio. crouching behind that lone tree, kyl began calling in air strikes to take out enemy position. kyle was starting to feel the fog on his own concussion set in. he knew he was cain's best chance

so, i think it's a blend but marines f you ask marine on the ground, they would rather have the f-18s and hairiers overhead. that doesn't mean they don't appreciate the hell out of the a-10s. i know for a fact that they did. >> so, i guess my question is, do you think that the a-10, the f-16 is the equivalent of the a-10 in close air support? yes or no? >> senator, i do this for a living. and i think they're two completely different platforms with overlapping missions. one is very old. the other one is not quite so old. i think what you'd probably like to do is have a blend, if we could afford it. we're at a point right now we're trying to make decisions on what we can afford and modernization. >> well, it seems to me when i think about what the men and women in uniform on the ground have told me when i visited afghanistan, we should be able to afford what they believe is the best close air support platform, especially given the cost per flying hour and what we've previously invested in the a-10. i have a question for the whole panel that i haven't -- that i really think we need to ge

>> well, the board has passed a resolution to look at joining marin and so -- and in order to do that we would have to fund a feasibility study, which we will need money to actually do that with some con tib tingency just in case we decide to join marin. >> we approve your budget though so if you're saying we leave money it's, like, we would leave the money. >> well, semantics, you know, so yes, you are an approval body, this is the mayor's budget, it is our department that has the money so everyone has involvement in it. and so what i was sharing with you was highlight of what the mayor's going to present in his budget tomorrow. >> so the mayor's going to present reprogramming some of the reserves that we, as a board have put on reserve. >> that is correct as i understand it. >> so two things have happened since you received the cca appropriation. the first thing is that we will be confronted with having to issue the first power revenue bonds since we built the system. also the world changing so far as richmond, our neighbors across the bay were able to get a deal with marin clean en
