mr. griffin: we talked about regulating greenhouse gases -- mr. griffith: we talked about regulating greenhouse gases and it would make prices go up and we said there are programs for that. but the president cut the liheap program, he's going to make an electric bill fwose through the roof and they want us to cut the assistance program that would help the poorest of the poor. that doesn't make any sense. i don't understand it. because they're really going to hurt american families. mrs. roby: will you share, mr. gardner, will you share the testimony, because i watched it and it's really powerful, you were questioning in the energy and commerce committee about whether there's ever, you can than i story better can because i just watched the clip, any connection between the number of jobs that would be affected by the regulations that come down from the e.p.a.? mr. griffith: one of the -- mr. gardner: one of the things is the focus on regulation and the welcome of focus on that regulation's effect on jobs. we had them talk to the energy and commerce

mr. griffin. >> yes hello, i'm larry griffin. i've would on ma clarity between line and central for 58 years. i never heard about the project. i heard there was some plans but was never notified about any meetings i would have been all over this. i think there's been no plan or thought given to the neighborhoods on west or east of ma sonic and how the parking is going to effect the neighborhood. you have sf students all with cars. i'm not anti bike but there are cars folks and to get rid of crucial parking is not a smart plan. i'm also a former fire commissioner and i think that commissioner bred can see there maybe problems trying to negotiate the traffic. if a bus stops you've got one lane and if i've got first responders trying to get through it's a real that public safety issue. that's not been taken into consideration. who people come out of their garages they're going to have trouble. people speed on that corridor all the time they should be getting thank you very much >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please and a
