mr. kelly? >> madam vice-president, commissioners, i request the hearing be held today. they received the permit to construct the new structure without approval from the park commission, the arts commission. that's one of the crucial aspects of my proposal today. i was mislead that will phase 3 approval was an enhancement of the previous one, but in fact they got a permit to develop this site without proper authority. okay. any comments from the department? any public comment. if you wish to reschedule, we will. if you don't, we'll move on to the next item. >> the arts commission has at times modified the design. i think we should get their final approval and proceed with that. >> i agree with commissioner fung. i don't think there is any reason to hear until we review the final phase. >> move to continue to february 19th. >> okay. okay. thank you, mr. pacheco, call the roll please. >> we have a motion from commissioner fung to reschedule item 9. 13-076 for february 19th. >> i'm sorry. how does that work from a point of view? >> i think it's okay. there are items on the

mr. kelly's point i've been here 4 years and know how hard the staff work and so long as people say we're not doing enough that should help us to keep working hard. i disagree receptor if you 11 gedz out of 15 people who didn't get a diploma is a very, very good thing thing and have a lot of receptionist. i was happy to get 11 people to get a job and not have to loaf san francisco. that's enough for me. any other commissioner? commissioner caen then we'll go ahead and move on the next item and a commissioner caen >> sorry for the next budget meeting i would like the following addressed: i would like to get a sense of the overall overtime their your projecting for next year and if you can compare w that with loose fiscal year over time i'd like a i'd appreciate it. secondly, we've worked very hard to get this budget looking the way it does and it's much more efficient we had line items, however, some of us talking with some people both staff and the commission would liquor to see the line items and i'm sure that's easily done that's how you arrived at the material here. so if we could have

mr. kelly's point i've been here 4 years and know how hard the staff work and so long as people say we're not doing enough that should help us to keep working

thanks a bundle, mrs. kelly. working. oh, okay, well, what i wanted to talk to you about... ooh, talky, talky, talky, talky, talky.

mr. kelly's point i've been here 4 years and know how hard the staff work and so long as people say we're not doing enough that should help us to keep working hard. i disagree receptor if you 11 gedz out of 15 people who didn't get a diploma is a

i have respect, mrs. kelly for the work you do and you're trying your best and i have respect for the chief and what she's doing. i moved to the city 18 years ago to work for group that created the lawsuit. there's a perception and a reality in the numbers that this is still a problem. and the fact of the matter is, it doesn't allow us to have direct affirmative programs race is a protected class. we had to cough up $40 million based on a program they're recommending that needs to be revamp. i want to make sure we're doing all we can to limit our legal liability as well as make sure we do have the fire department up and down looks like san francisco. but i want to again, i know you are trying your best, so i want to say that publicly. >> supervisor tang has something to say. >> thank you director cohen and my question will help you into your next segment. speaking to supervisor chiu original point. i believe recruitment is important and it impacts what happens in terms of promotions so is i'm excited our city i

. >> thank you, mr. kelly. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public -- i would like to call francisco decost an up. if anymore public comment, please submit a card. >> my comments on 7b and c. on 7b just lie we often question whoever is in charge what percentage of this and that whatever, again and again i have stated very clearly for those who can hear, i want to know what percentage of the water is reaching into ground from our pipes. what percentage. and i have stated to you that we have propriety ary knowledge for that and we could have done that 5-6 years ago. we need to know this water that belongs to the first people from hetch hetchy which comes here and which we drink, flush our toilets with drinking water. the awe audacity that we have the water. we have millions of gallons of water that spill. we want to know that amount. just so that we have some accountability and we have some transparency. now, i'm glad that on calavera, the person who is really monitoring that, i believe his last name is wade and i briefly met him th

mr. kelly's personal diaries, calendars and all of her electronics equates an unlimited invasion of her privacyo potentially reveal highly personal documents. it will not protect them against possible criminal federal charges. >> it doesn't affect the criminal investigation by the u.s. attorney. the other thing, the legislature may very well call them in and make them tame the fifth amendment on television. generally speaking, if you take the fifth amendment, everybody thinks you did it. >> unequivocally, no. >> governor christie continues to insist he knew nothing. appearing on his monthly ask the governor show, he also faulted the media. >> it's just a game of gotcha. when did i first learn about this or that? well, the fact of the matter is, i have been very clear about this. before these lanes were closed, i knew nothing about it. i didn't plan it. i didn't authorize it. i didn't aprieve it. i knew nothing about it. >> governor christie has said his office has been subpoenas about the situation, and also tonight, he did not answer any questions at all when he appeared before a sandy funding

mr. kelly: i rise in strong support of h.r. 3193. my family has been in the automobile business for 63 years. cfpb is kind of interesting because what we've done now, we've absolutely abandon the rulemaking process and have gone to influencing people. the relationship that car dealers have with their customers is sometimes they navigate a very hard financial system to get their loans arranged. we want to do it with guidance. it's like the policeman walking his beat and pulling out his billy club and tapping on his hands and say, i strongly suggest you follow my guidance. there's no oversight on this. these group of people are going to make decisions without even consulting us, the people. we do represent the people. i'd like to think we can come together once in a while that's in the best interest of the people we represent. it's not a republican issue . not a democratic issue but an american issue. we have to do these things. again, strong suggestions that you follow my guidance as opposed to letting people sit down and negotiate th

. >> dear mrs. kelly, your family plan is no longer available under the affordable care act.is no longer in the network due to the affordable care act. >> due to the affordable care act, your monthly premium has increased. >> wow. they're really trying to show you real images of real people losing their insurance. just one problem. all these people you see in the ad are paid actors. they're just pretending to be victims. they're getting paid for it. a spokesman for the group behind the ad defended it, saying it's meant to be, quote, cinematic. great idea. they're fighting real world facts with right wing fictions. but while they're at it, why not include some real hollywood actors? like this guy. ♪ go ahead, make his day. what about a real conservative fighter? or how about a republican actor who played a "law & order" type. on second thought, hollywood conservatives don't always make the best spokeswomen. take a seat, clint. >> what do you want me to tell romney? i can't tell him to do that. can't do that to himself. you're absolutely crazy. >> let's put away the gop script

mr. kelly maybe i'm slow on this case, to finally get sort of an old polaroid view of what actually happened. you're going to be really late, you can sense. and a guy asks you to roll down your window and says are you frustrated? it's a police officer that is there to protect you and get you through traffic safely. and he says are you frustrated? well, if you are, you should go and make a phone call to the ft. lee mayor and blame it on him, because he made a decision recently that is causing this. and then apparently dozens and dozens of calls like this went to the ft. lee mayor. message delivered, i'm out to screw you. what is the return address on that letter? that's the great question. mike? >> that is a great question, chris. yeah, this has been one of the mysteries as i said that has been lingering around this controversy almost since the day it broke. and that is if this in fact is political retribution, how did the message on political retribution get delivered to the mayor of ft. lee? a

mr. kellyfrom everything you have seen and heard and no about sochi, what isut your opinion about the situation there now? guest: as far as the olympic venues concern, the level is .igh the russians have devoted 100,000 people to it. you have the army and many come many volunteers. probably 100,000 security personnel in the area of the aympics, which is about 100-mile perimeter. it is a challenge, but as far as the venues themselves, the security level is high. host: any participation in setting up security or consulting on it? guest: what is a patient -- i'm sorry, say that again -- participation -- i'm sorry, say that again? have you consulted all with security issues? guest: no, we have not, i don't leave the government was consulted much at all. i think there is a certain amount of nationalistic pride involved. i would say there has been very little external consulting as far as security is concerned. they have devoted an awful lot of resources to it. obviously, there is a terrorist threat.

with that again mrs. kelly thank you so much for being here and thanks again to the institute. i really do want to single out my students here. they are hoping to get good grades but we are so proud to have this program with the air force academy. some of our graduates come to us to get a masters degree after finishing up and it's always nice to have people who are embarking on a career in public service and i thank you both for being here tonight.

with that, again, mrs. kelly, thank you so much for being here and thanks again -- i believe you want to single out my students, not just because they are my students and they're hoping they'll get good grades, but we are so proud to have this program with the air force academy. where some of the graduates come to us to get a masters degree or finishing up its always nice to people who are embarking on a career in public service. and i thank you both for being here tonight.

mr. kelly? >> i'm delighted to have that list. it does focus on what it is that you feel you need more from, where you think you haven't gotten all the documents you need so we can actually be responsive. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. commissioner, thanks for being here. i would echo the comments for everybody else. you have a very tough job. your background suggests that you have done this before. so, when you were turning around different companies, you said you would called in to help out with troubled companies. when you look at the irs, your number one goal right now, it has to be restoring its image with the public. does it not? >> it is. as i said, i don't say it as words. public trust in the agency is critical. it's our most valuable asset. it's important to the -- we collect 91% of the revenues from the government. we touch virtually every american. we've got to have people confident. >> we also agree that you and i both work for the same people. >> i've always said these are taxpayer funds they're spending. we need to

mr. kelly, your thoughts on this market? >> yeah, boring. it's not over yet. still going lower.hose are my general thoughts. >> wait a minute, it can't be that boring if we're only pausing here on what's actually been a pretty sharp downward move. >> yeah, but listen, we're up a half a percentage point, 0.8% on the nasdaq. that's nothing compared to what happened yesterday, and not only that, i still continue to hear people talking about let's get that shopping list out, this is a buying opportunity. >> yes. >> when people start -- listen, when people start to ask how low can it go? that's your boouying opportunit at that point. >> when people see it more as guy adami says, a selling opportunity -- >> exactly. >> that's when you need to be paying attention. >> then you buy. >> then you buy. one thing people are buying -- let's talk about some ports in the storm. gold, natural gas. >> yeah. >> it's a mirror image of 2013. >> some interesting commodity plays here in light of what we're seeing with the equities market. gold is definitely one of them, but after all, look at what hap

. >> mr. kelly, what can you tell us about what it's like being a pilot?you have a little seniority and you get to fly the good trips and have good time off, has good benefits, but to get there, you have got to start out at the very low end of the pay scale, and the working conditions are terrible, and where it used to be that everybody wanted to be a pilot, now you don't see that. i mean, you have guys who like airplanes but they can go over to the faa and work as an air-traffic controller and make $120,000 a year within five years. so it's a little different today than it was, and it's going to be a real problem in the future. >> and that's why i want to bring in the panel on this actually. an issue perhaps people are just getting much more aware of morgan because this year in particular the tighter restrictions have made it much more apparent how deep a problem this potentially is. >> that's one of the things that really jumps out to me and maybe you can answer it is this idea of going from 250 hours of training to 1500 hours of training which is a 500%

mr. stepien and miss kelly's objections to the subpoenas were invalid. and compelling them to turn over those documents that were called for in the subpoenas. if bill stepien and bridget kelly do not comply, now that the legislature renewed their call for the documents and said the objections are not valid and must comply, if bridget kelly and bill stepien do not comply, it's likely they will be held in contempt and then they will get referred for prosecution. that's what happened when david wildstein invoked his fifth amendment rights to not testify to the legislature. mr. wildstein has been referred for prosecution on contempt charges. as his lawyer continues to seek immunity for him from those and other charges. he says he will sing like a bird if he gets immunity from everyone. but for chris christie's former campaign manager and former deputy chief of staff, it is not just that they are refusing to testify, like david wildstein, they are refusing to even hand over documents. yes, david wildstein is refusing to talk, but he also handed over 908 pages

kelly: thank you, congresswoman beatty, thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank all my colleagues in the congressional black caucus who have joined us here tonight and continue to fight and serve as the conscience of our congress. when women succeed, america succeeds. it's a simple enough concept yet it hasn't received the attention it deserves in the policy arena. as we reflect on moments like the fifth anniversary of the lilly ledbetter fair pay act a bill that most of us would agree was long overdue, it's important that we keep in our minds and hearts the critical lesson of that important legislation. that it's unacceptable for paid discrimination to exist in our work force. that workers who face discrimination have a right to claim compensation for the injustices they face. that regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexual identity, we all have rights to be justly compensated for our work. and most important, that it's beneficial to our economy, our family, and our children to pay fair wages to all of america's workers. and in that spirit,

mr. steppian and miss kelly continue to refuse, then they too honestly will be moving toward contempt chargesldstein. in their case, it is an open question whether they will plead the fifth in order to refuse to testify and that's an important question, right? after what david wildstein did, is everyone going to sit there and plead the fifth? is everyone going to refuse to answer questions? when new jersey spotlight published this piece. rule prevents staff from testifying in bridge gate. senator robert gordon, who's chairman of the legislative oversight committee in new jersey. he announced he had been told by the christie administration, that the christie administration policy that no members of the governor's office are allowed to appear before legislative committees. senator gordon told the new jersey spotlight this is a christie administration policy? there was no such policy before this in previous administrations. now senator gordon wanted testimony from people who work in the governor's office on a matter sort of unrelated to bridge gate, it was something having to do with hurricane s

mr. stepian and ms. kelly are claiming the fifth amendment.hose documents? they're government e-mails on government -- that i ear owned by the government, aren't they? >> yeah, that's right. they're going to get them and they tier going to get them for a couple of reasons. first, the fifth amendment rarely applies to documents. it complies to compelled testimony against once oneself. it can apply to documents in rare instances where the government is saying i suspect somebody of drug trafficking and they subpoena that person and they say give me all the documents that show you may have been involved in drug trafficking. in that case, the production of the documents may be incrimin e incriminati incriminating. but here you have something entirely different. you have, first of all, documents, as you just pointed out, are government documents. secondly, the government is already aware of these documents. and is aware of the incriminating behavior surrounding documents. so the production of them seems to me not to add too much additional incrimina

mr. stepien corn tends. oh, really? in the other one, in the bridgette kelly civil action today. as the person who authored that e-mail saying it was time for traffic problems in fort lee, miss kelly certainly has relevant information about the subject matter of the committee's investigation. the committee is well within its right to ask miss kelly a state employee using state resources about the official state action to close access lanes to produce any further information she has. the effort to compel them to turn over those documents, and maybe to compel them to testify. that effort is now going to court. and it will likely take months. the battle is joined on that front and you can read all about it, if you're interested. you want to know what else happened today? in addition, this happened today. in all its glory. it's been a big day. we got these today. the town of ft. lee, new jersey which was the object of punishment in the bridge scandal for what happened on that bridge, it was ft. lee, whatever reason, we still don't know. but ft. lee was the object of punishment. and t

mr. speaker, please join me in honoring robert newton lowry on his unwaivering dedication and contributions to this great nation. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentlelady from illinois, ms. kelly, for five minutes. thank you, mr. speaker. as we have served the final week of black history month, i'd like to recognize the divine nine historically black from a territories and sororities. for over 100 years, brothers and sisters of the divine nine have played an instrumental role in altering the course of american history and the divine nine have served as training grounds for some of our nation's best and brightest leaders. the divine nine organizations are alpha phi alpha fraternity, founded in 1906 at cornell university. their brotherhood includes the reverend dr. martin luther king jr., congressman emanuel cleaver, danny davis, al green, gregory meeks, charles rangel, david scott and bobby scott, ambassador andrew jackson young, the national urban league president, legal pioneers charles hamilton houston and thurgood marshall and their honorable president, mark s. tillman. alpha alpha kappa sorority founded and boasts congresswoman sheila jackson ee, felicia rashard of the "co

. >> the part of the market that sold off the hardest, brian kelly, they're the ones that bounce back the most today. mr. bear, what do you do now? >> i do nothing. i stay short. we had a couple of things happen today. lots of people talking about very big jobs numbers tomorrow. i think that's wrong. even if you have a weather effect, look at the last jobs number. 25,000 accountants lose their jobs. that has nothing to do with weather. you look at the jobless claims this morning. four-week moving average. that's trending up since last september. that, to me, at the very least, a stagnant job market. and i think anything above 200,000 is a pipe dream tomorrow. i'd be cautious. >> what are you making at this point? >> i guess better. when you have a ripple in the market, to have a day like this, i don't think it's that monumental, really. i didn't do a lot. on a day like today. really, we're right back to where we were a couple of days ago in the midst of that big sell-off. the level is about the same. i don't think that there's a lot to trade around here. they would disagree. >> i think tomorrow's going

mr. speaker. as we celebrate black history month, i rise to honor a remarkable american, john rogers sr., a man of unrivaled determination and intellect who led an extraordinary life. ms. kelly: mr. rogers moved to chicago at the age of 12, following the death of his parents and earned his pilot's license and enlisted in the army air forces, where he flew in 120 combat missions in world war ii as a member of the famed husband keegy airmen. he went on to attend the university of chicago's law school, on the g.i. bill, and served for 21 years as the cook county juvenile court judge. he was known as much for his compassion as he was for his convictions. and believed as much in give second chances as he did in doing things right the first time. mr. rogers was a great leader and role model. he passed away last month at the age of 95, but leaves behind a legacy of accomplishment that have made a greater america and are worthy of being celebrated in any month. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. for what purpose does the gentleman from minnesota seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr

kelly. to your letter and mr. issa's lette letter. >> without objection. >> thank you. >> like all americans i was outraged to learn of the targeting by the irs of both conservative and progressive groups. this type of political targeting by a government agency that is supposed to have the public's trust is completely unacceptable. i certainly understand the emotion and passion of the witnesses. as members of congress, particularly members of this committee we have a duty to look into this type of wrongdoing and mismanagement that occurred at the irs. we also have to learn from mistakes and put processes in place to make sure that they never happen again ch and i think this is something all my colleagues on this panel are committed to doing. the department of justice is also investigating to determine if any laws were broken. i think it's completely inappropriate to apply the witnesses with a platform to unfairly attack the ranking member of the full committee. like any member of this committee he has the authorit
