i'm mary murphy, council for the permit holder and respondents, laura and peter fenton. here with me tonight are members of the project team, paul kenyon are project managers, jeff maddox, my colleague and also technical expert, allison kidd. all will be available to answer any questions you might have. unfortunately the fentons could not be here tonight because they agreed to postpone from hearing from mid-september to mid-october at the appellant's request. dear members of the board, my wife, laura and i live with our two small children at 2705 larkin street. as you may know, we have proposed to remodel our home to make it child friendly and to better accommodate the needs of our growing family and that remodel is the subject of tonight's appeal. it has always been our intention that the remodel be in keeping with the neighborhood. in fact, the remodel complies with the planning code and we did not seek or require any variances. unfortunately laura and i are not able to be present today to discuss with you the appeal of our building permits. as you may recall, this hea

thank you. >> miss murphy. >> again, commissioners, mary murphy. in closing you've heard the rebuttal arguments. i don't believe anything new has been raised by mr. buscovich or mr. moony or mr. elman, but with respect to the matters mr. buscovich was raising, in the 2002 issues he raises, we have the 2008 permits here. we can show when that work was done. this xlaipblt -- complaint was filed on monday, they will look into it. as to mr. elman's point as to whether the prior permit history has any bearing, this board knows as well as anyone if this permit is issued you have 15 days to bring an issue before the board. they are raising issues in 2002 and 2003 and what's remarkable is that they walked down to the building department to file the complaint about permits issued 9 or 10 years ago, and with respect to the 2008 permits they made allegations, again baseless allegations, that work was done without permit in 2008, again, 4 or 5 years ago, and one could argue that they are claiming there were no permits issued so therefore the 15 days it appeal

murphy's primary points, that linda mcmanes represents the war on women, demeans women and so forth and it's worth doing because democratic registration far outpace republicans in that state, but mary is right, there's a lot of economic anxiety and the democratic governor raised taxes, and his approval has fallen below 50% so this is going to depend on coat tails between romney and obama and go right to the finish line. >> and with these ads she's also hitting on this trust issue, he was on the financial services committee in congress. aen she's suggesting in her ads, also, that he is someone who got a favor from the bank in connecticut, even after he had stopped paying his mortgage so that's suggesting that people can't trust him. >> though he and the bank do deny that. >> and really she went so far for the democratic committee to invest in the race, obama is up 12, 14 points in the state, a very blue state, but made this a competitive race which no one expected. >> and a lot of people are independents. >> that's right. still ahead, the supreme court is back in town and the new term promises to bring new controversy. and next week, affirmative action, we'll preview that case and p
