i think that mr. kingsked a good question, application, and you have been selling food over here for almost ten years and why not? and what caused this problem? and it is the best question. because we are not letting people get away with this. >> okay. >> all right. >> i just want to make sure that we were able to communicate where we are coming from and the fact that it is not something new that we are doing, we have been doing it for almost ten years at this location. and unfortunately, by getting our or enforcing some of these issues, we are making some enemies and not a lot of friends by some of the old clients. >> i have a couple of questions for you, have you seen the police conditions? >> we have not. >> the police say that they want you closed by 3:00 a.m.. those are the police conditions. and i have a couple of questions, first of all i want to say that ignorance of the law is no excuse. and you have been in business nine years at that location and for nine years you have needed an extended hours

mr. king: madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include any extraneous material on the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. king: madam speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. king: madam speaker, i rise in support of s. 3542, the no hassle flying act of 2012. at the outset let me commend the gentleman from illinois, congressman walsh, for introducing this measure. it passed the house in september by voice vote. madam speaker, this bill gives t.s.a. the discretion to determine if checked luggage arriving from a foreign airport with an aviation security preclearance agreement must be rescreened before it continues on to a connecting flight inside the u.s. the bill explicitly defines such an agreement as one that delineates and implements security standards and protocols that are determined by t.s.a. in

so, i have to contact with mr. king for sure to make sure that we don't have anything in depositcy in terms of canceling them but that is probably the likely scenario, so if anyone has a problem with that let me know. and then that means that we will not see you until january, so merry christmas to you all. are you ready? >> commissioners, i will keep this short. you will see on your sheet again, just as director stated it is thanksgiving and so traditionally thanksgiving usually people come home from college or school and spend time with their family and eat too much and drink too much and get into trouble. but this past thanksgiving weekend we actually did pretty well. the city was busy but not too busy. and we did not have any major events which was nice. officer from central station is here he has a few things to go over that i will leave to him. and over all, central has actually been pretty quiet and southern has also been quiet with a few hiccups and the mission as this commission knows if you read the paper has

mr. king, if you can hear me, i was wondering if there's anything that the unions can actually do to deprive some of the nonpaying members from the rights you're able to put together. is there anything you can do as an incentive or leverage to get people to pay if this measure goes through? >> again, the vast majority of our members in right to work states now, a huge majority, do pay their dues. they want to be part of the union. it's just that this is an attack because we herped elect president obama, because we stand up for working people. >> but the question, mr. king -- >> we're not going to allow that to happen. >> are there any measures you can actually take against those that decide to opt out of paying of being a part of your union, that perhaps they won't receive some of the benefits of -- >> you know, honestly, honestly, i'm not interested in excising leverage. we do a great job. we think the great job we do, members will continue to -- the vast majority, 98, 99% will continue to pa

all of your experience, mr. king will most certainly be called on it tested for the job ahead of you. mr. kevin law is one of the most respected business organizations in new york. the long island economy is made up of over 100,000 businesses, 90% complete 20 people or less. bit with look forward to hearing directly from you about what your business is their same come, many struggling to recover and how we can be as helpful as possible. mayor, let us start with you and again, hearts go out to the people that you've lost and are devastated, but were going to stay with you for the long haul, long road ahead. [inaudible] >> make sure your buttons are pressed and you speak directly into the mic. >> good morning, chairwoman landrieu and committee members. it's an honor to be here today. i am the mayor of hoboken, new jersey. hoboken is located across the river from new york city for baseball and franks are not shed in the home of cake costs. with more than 50,000 residents and hundreds of businesses call her square mile c

we want those jobs to come to michigan. >> let me go back to mr. king. >> yes. >> you have had a great -- let me just tell you what i know how good you are because it was a clean union from the beginning. it's a very liberal union with big picture ideas. isn't just interested in wages and work rules. interested in the welfare of mittle class people. you have a great union there. is this right to work thing really going to hurt your union and kill the esprit de corps of the union workers? why would this hurt them? >> i don't think it will in the uaw. we have great membership loyalty. the problem is it's just the first step. we have watch nt this state right wing legislatures pass laws to take away the collective bargaining rights from public sector employees on health care and pensions. they did a petty vindictive law that took away the right to deuce deductions for teachers. that's why we're fighting here today, we want to stop this before they try it take away the rights of private sector workers to bargain over wages or pensions or health care. this i

i thought it was a well written article, but i can assure at least from my point of view mr. king expresses some concerns about the environmental review and its speed. and i can say that expedient and complete and thorough are not mutually exclusive, and you can do something and certainly i would expect the same analysis to be every bit as thorough. and this would be the case with any e-i-r, but that does not preclude it from moving in an expedient manner if it can be so done. and the other very interesting article by john wildermuth, very excellent journal on the housing wars, key to city's diversity, that's the title of it. he does talk a little bit the years of protest. it's well written, but a little self-laudatory in that we have a lot of problems, still a city which once had a huge middle class and had lots of families with children and had some of the highest sale prices of anyplace. we have to differentiate. i think these things he mentioned have done a lot of good things, stopping free ways from chopping up the city, shopping another western addition destruction as happen
