mr. braun as i did. and want to thank him for taking the time to talk with me. and follow up in a phone call. we are familiar with his background in san francisco area and beyond and knows that part of the complicated world that is city planning. i personally was pleased to see his understanding of the human side of planning and the nuances that are involved in the planning press and with that if there are no questions or comments would like to invite mr. braun up to share thoughts and words with this committee. >> >> thank you very much chair peskin and supervisor mandelman and chan. i have enjoyed the conversations we had the past several weeks. and to shirr a bit about this background frsht public had might be meeting me the first time and to reintroduce myself. i have a master's in planning with a focus in economic development from university of southern california. 14 years i have been with strategic economics my work for local government to the cross california and the nation. and through

mr. braun: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from indiana. mr. braun: the state of indiana is america's heartland. i have traveled to every county, listened to businesses, schools, churches. i think that's where we need to get our cue in terms of what needs to be done. farmers as well, they're in the middle of something that they've never faced before, probably the toughest job and business out there, never been tougher. the american people are strong and resilient, but they are represented by a government here that is not necessarily the same. sometimes gets scoffed at but they live within their household budgets. state and local governments have guard rails but naturally would do it anyway because they know you can't borrow money from future generations and spend it today. bad business plan. for this reason i think the u.s. congress is broken because we have kept shoving this issue down the road. having done a budget that we've adhered to in nearly 20 years. the last time we did it, we were most ingenious about how to unravel it roughly ten year

mr. braun: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from indiana. mr. braun: reserving the right to object. i'm glad that the supreme court has returned the issue of life back to the people's elected representatives, where it should have stayed 49 years ago. this legislation denies state representatives the right to make laws protecting life. this bill is an attempt to undermine state laws that protect life by allowing abortions for anyone who crosses state lines and is not a resident of the state. moreover, it gives the department of justice $40 million in grant funding to help people sue states, to help people sue states that enact policies to protect life. the department of health and human services is given another $40 million in funding for any eligible center at secretary becerra's discretion. this funding is not protected by the hyde amendment, and most likely we're going to borrow every penny of it, like we do for most things in this place. we should not spend $80 million to undermine state laws on life or impose a legislative backdoor for aborti

mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from indiana braun braun the -- mr. braun: the plan the democrats are going to give ow this was put out in biden's blueprint to put us $45 trillion in debt for ten years. we'll be paying as much on interest as we do on goods cretion near spending -- on discretionary spending domestically or the military budget. that is no business plan. how do you think they're going to pay for the debt forgiveness? they're going to borrow the money to do it to pay the people that are owed the money. one other point of clarification. when you had a practical bill, the tax cut and jobs act which was done before senator scott and i got here, it was a plan to grow economic activity, a way to pay for it. had covid not come along, the cbo was ready to say that it was paying for itself because we were growing the economy at 3% and the $150 billion per year over ten years which is chump change now compared to the $3 trillion, the democrats have put us in debt over the last year and a half was growing the economy, was zero inflation, raising wag

. >> supervisor dean preston: there is no real reason that mr. braun may not be able to to exercise his duties. we'll get more info at some point about what guides that discretion. but i appreciate supervisor peskin raising the situation. i feel a little bit like missing from this is we got pretty good evidence so far that this stuff is held over at least with commissioner carter or over stone that this is going to be appearing in front of any commission. i think what i would suggest to some of my colleagues who are inclined to support this is i think some of you are assuming that the planning commission cannot meet if we do not appoint these folks and that's not the case. they have a quorum. they have a quorum. so, i would like clarification to one thing if we were to move on. if were to vote no on the planning commissioners and the mayor would reappoint, how soon can this come back to rules. if she would reappoint them tomorrow, what is the timeframe here? >> we are having a meeting october 3rd and october 10th. >> i feel like this idea of somehow us
