mr. kelley as well. >> thank you. so, i agree with supervisor mar, and i thank supervisor for not making this tonight. and i voted for cca and i voted for the resolution that he offered to was very critical and legitimately. and of the puc, for forwarding the super majority vote of this democratic board to proceed with the cca and i think that we were all very not just disappointed but pretty outraged that the agency chose to do that. and i am glad that supervisor avalos is able to work it out with the puc in terms of the reserve, and i think that placing a significant portion of the power enterprise operating funds on budget reserves, would be a very negative thing for the agency's ability to actually deliver the power to hospitals, and to sfgeneral and fire stations and muni and so forth and even though i completely understand, the concern, that given the track record, you know the trust level and the commission's, willingness to follow through on directives from this board, i completely understand that sentiment bu

mr. kelley the general manager is obviously going to be setting up those discussions? >> working through us. >> yes. >> they are actively engaged in the effort to calendar those. and i would want to make sure that through mr. freed and our office and able to take part and i want to take part and mr. freed as well. >> i will take that back to the general manager, thank you. >> colleagues, any other questions? mr. freed? >> jason, freed, lasco staff, miss hail did give a good synopsis of what occurred, there was a lot of discussion and a lot of interest, but once again, while the staff is once again looking at least at these options there is still not the four robust, you know, movement of the staff to try to get a program forward and so hopefully as these discussions start to continue, again they will pick up the speed and we will get the staff working on the regular basis of trying to launch the program in the city and i think that it was a good start at least, getting us restarted in this process of getting the program moving forward and then on ab 12, or 2145, and th

mr. dennis kelley president of the uesf and followed by executive vice president susan solomen, followed by van williams. >> good evening, commissioners. deputy superintendents, and superintendent, i am susan solomen, executive vice president. last week we spent three days in negotiations with the school district. and yesterday, we spent all day as well. we went into bargaining yesterday and then into the beginning of the workday with the district, the district representatives told us that they could not agree to retaining and or reinstating much needed counseling periods for special education teachers, because of the cost. they are, and this is the quote, focusing resources on total compensation, president kelley asked, what is meant by total compensation? the response was, salaries and benefits. and then, this is what happened. at 10:11 a.m., we got no agreement from the district for daily prep time, for elementary school teachers after the instructional day is over. which is a cost neutral proposal and it is free. the only changes to that article in the contract which

mr. rose, and supervisor breed? >> thank you, thank you supervisor avalos for working with director kelley to put forth these recommendations which, i think are reasonable. but, as you know, in the past, there has been money put in reserve for clean power, and specifically it still did not convince the puc commission to set any rates. and so it did, it did not do what it was intended to do. and i talked to director kelley. and i talked to the folks at the mayor's office and i have assurances that they are going to work with us to review and to determine if the direction that we are proposing to work with marin is the best direction as it results to actually implementing finally a real clean power program in san francisco. and today, i actually came prepared to put their funds on reserve, and in an effort to leverage the resources within the puc's power, funding in order to get them to do what they are making commitments to do. and at this time, i am not prepared to move forward with that budget reserve, but, this item is going to go to the full board, and i don't think that should be placed off the table. so between now and

two thousand and two in two thousand and three meghan kelley of all people actually called dick cheney a pretty are about her fox show last week mr vice president let me start with this this is from one item in the washing. post posted by paul waldman today quote there is not a single person in america who has been more wrong and more shamelessly dishonest on the topic of iraq than dick cheney and now as the cascade of misery and death and chaos he did so much to unleash rages a new mr cheney has the unadulterated gall to come before the country and tell us that it's all someone else's fault the suggestion that is that you caused this mess mr vice president won't say you know. obviously it's good to see cheney getting called out but the fact that he and all the other neo cons are being say taken seriously enough to appear on any news channel even if it's spock so-called news shows that not much has changed in the media mainstream media since bush lied us into war eleven years ago joining me now from los angeles for more on this is tom hayden author activist and former california state senator he's got a great piece on this topic
