mr. hanson before he goes away. which is can you tell us what the criminal charges were against bird in santa monica? >> there was a misunderstanding over the type of business that bird was in santa monica when we applied for the business license permit there. that's all been resolved. we are in a very good relationship with the city of santa monica. >> supervisor peskin: and you settled in what dollar amount? >> $300,000. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. supervisor kim and we would like to call up the spin representative. >> supervisor kim: before you go, mr. hanson. >> supervisor tang: sorry. >> supervisor kim: i would like to talk to both bird and spin. this question i will ask of spin as well, although i have this specific question for spin and my apologies for confusing the two initially. this question is actually really limited. i have seen a number of your mot mot motorized boards and i have seen a number tipped over. i'm concerned about having them parked anywhere. but i'm very

mr. hanson admitted it, they entered the field, knowing this piece of legislation was pending, and then went and acted like it was a ban when it was not. to the gentleman from spin, instead of saying whatever nonanswer you gave supervisor kim, i would apologize and say that was a material misrepresentation. you did not give us permission. we misrepresented that, for which we apologize. i say the same thing to mr. hanson from bird, although he kind of apologized, which is you don't go about and make misrepresentations to the board of supervisors and the people of the city and county of san francisco. it does not engender trust. the way this was designed to work was to put forth a mechanism to allow professionals at the mta in collaboration with the regulated community to come up with a common sense proving scheme. but when you enter the arena with that level of hubris and arrogance, you don't extend trust. i want to send a message not only to e-scooters, last year it was go go as the shared mobility world continues to evolved, it would be really nice if the tech brothers could come in and ask

mr. hanson if you could stay we have a lot of questions. i want to get through public comment. >> supervisor peskin: one last question. are you aware that during the course of this hearing we have received and you have received a cease and desist order from the city attorney for violations? >> i read it. the attachment we received didn't have page 2. i have not read the whole thing but i would love to see the full letter. >> supervisor peskin: it was resent to you with the missing page. >> supervisor tang: thank you. please stay. we have more questions for you after public comment. >> i will be here. >> supervisor tang: thank you. next speaker, please. if anyone else is here, please come up. >> i'm tim. i grew up in san francisco. i'm a skateboarder and i ride mopeds all around the city. i also wear a prosthetic leg. i had cancer when i was a kid. lost my leg. bird, i support it. i think it's awesome. being a san francisco resident i just think that we need to have better regulations on it and not leave the bikes on the sidewalks and ride o

mr. jones and dr. joe hanson. i'm completely confused about the ag budget. and so i'm so glad you are here to help me understand. and the reason why i'm confused is a couple years ago you said that, well, you hadn't been confirmed when the budget was put together. that you didn't share all the views in the budget. that you might have done it differently. but here we are a year later, when it is your budget, but it looks very much like the fiscal year 2018 budget. and so i know you'll help us understand that ap parent mismatch. the budget before us for ag and rural development has cut more than $5 billion, more than 25%, from the fiscal year 2018 om bus levels and little spared. rural america isn't spared. our producers aren't spared. last more more than 20 research programs like last year, 20 research programs at nif ta are eliminated or cut. the agricultural research service is cut by $174 million. 20 agricultural research stagtss are closed including one close to my heart in the corvallis, oregon, certainly an outstanding contribute tore to ag in my state,

mr. president, for the confidence you have shown in me. thank you, sir. >> congratulations. >> three weeks later at his confirmation hearing before the senate judiciary committee, mueller is more forthcoming. >> waco, ruby ridge, fbi lab, robert hanson mcveigh documents, these familiar names and events remind us that the fbi is far from perfect and the next director faces significant management and administrative challenges. >> there were a number of high profile incidents that raised concern during last director's term. when bob mueller came on board, part of it was to instill confidence back in the fbi. >> all of these were sort of piling up as mueller faced the prospect of taking over the fbi. >> we must and will confront the challenges. >> we understand that the fbi is now requiring polygraphs for managers handling national security matters. are you willing to continue that approach? >> yes. >> would you be willing to take a polygraph yourself if that were the case? >> yes. indeed, it's my belief you don't -- this may be my training from the marine corps. but you don't ask people to do that what you are unwilling to do yourself. i have take than polygraph. >> i ask that question because i knew you had. how did you do? >> i'm sit
