committee >> president chiu. >> thank you all for being part of this legislation i want to thank mrs. lee and her family for stepping up and your encourage talking about all the stories that are happening around the city. thank you for all who stood with the lee families and all families facing eviction. i speak for my colleagues, we're hearing way two many stories like beverly upton and the stories thought the decide. we know during the affordability crisis we have to make sure that the city of fantasia moves forward. we have to provide relief from the holidays. i mentioned colleagues, i have two brief amendments to the legislation. the first is on page 4 of the legislation to essential address what might happen if it turns out a landlord resends a notice we want to make sure any tenant in that situation can have the protection in the future. on page 410 through 13 if the rent board grants the landlord address to withdraw the unit before the tenants move out of their unit in other words, a tenant in the future would have the protection if the tenant after receiving a ellis act is fortuna

.) >> so i'm mrs. lee i'm here today because you know i was also a victim of ellis eviction. my landlord used the outlines to evict me i found a place to live with my family. i'm glad for the community support and the city government and also the board of supervisors. i'm really here today to not talk about myself but those still out there still being evicted and displaced. i recommend and suggest that in the city we really need to think and to look deeply in how to address the eviction issue. for a lot of people that applied for the applications those are people we need to think about because when it comes down to it i don't believe the ellis act should be used by landlord as a way to evict tenant. in particular our city we need to take a course of objection action in that regard. there a lot of seniors people that are disabled have a hard time finding housing. at the same time, they have tripod so hard to apply for themselves. i support the legislation and preference for those who are displaced. it's an tuesday night to get into those units faster. at the same time, you kno

and the head of the mayor's office of housing and mr. lee, did you want to make me remarks to the board before we hear the public testimony? >> yes, i know. yes. >> thank you. >> good evening, my name is olsen lee and i am the director of the mayor's office of housing and i just had a very, very few remarks, one is i just wanted to thank, the district staff for the work on this particular transaction, and this is as you know from the discreption and the presentation from mr. gold man and conversations with mr. gold man and assistant superintendent lee, this is not an easy transaction, it is a complicated transaction and it looks at a number of properties, but i think that the bottom line is that this is a transaction where both parties benefit. and i think that that is one of the things that we do here in san francisco well. and we look for sort of the good in the transaction and clearly, this provides the benefits to both the school district and to the mission of my office, which is to create the additional affordable housing and so on beha

how do you respond to mr. lee who is also from jp morgan? >> you know, i don't really have any particular disagreement. i tend to make longer term forecasts than tom does. but, fundamentally, i think the u.s. economy will have a very good year. it will be the strongest year since 2005. we may well see a continuation in this momentum. we are seeing investors move from bond funds into equity funds. but when i think of it in terms of valuations, we are above long term advantage. i think people need to look for opportunities outside the united states and not just here. >> david, thank you. appreciate it. gordon johnson, europe over japan? >> i think so. i think that that will be a major issue. >> let's move on to the next subject. take a look at several of the dry bulk shippers today. a lot of these are new highs. dr. jay, you like this space? >> i do. and i have liked it for the last two months now. this thing has been on fire. >> do you have to believe in the china story in order to like the space? >> i don't think you have to but it's certain

mr. mayor ed lee mayor of san francisco. now i'd like to ask the district 6 san francisco supervisor ms. jane kim to please come to the stage for a response >> thank you justin. it's actually a good reminder it's important to support our language schools in san francisco being bilingual and transitional is an important part of our city to be able to compete in an economy. so the mayor and i have the honor of going to all the ribbon cuttings participate in the south of middle market. this is the first incubator space we're coming to which is an international collaborative workspace. i was speaking with some of the employees how many of us came to san francisco 13 years for the first dot come boom. many folks went from the colleges to the hot economy at that time. of course, we had the bust will cycle that followed and we're seeing something that's exiting the diversity of the economies and the businesses are incredible. this is excited about this step we're seeing on international collaboration this notice not just in san fra

so mr. lee could you tell us the status >> so commissioner winn said this issue has been brought up as an important question for the board and for the district staff to examine. and we've taken a close look at the curre the curre the current range time. it was back in 2010 that the arrangement with respect to the artist and residents that are fund from district resources were contracted. a long story short we've reached a recommendation and shared it with the superintendant we should with the appropriate transition time transition the responsibilities for at least with respect to the district resources that are funding of the artists and resident contracts that those contracts should be anything congratulated balk back to the district beau not because of the business stylists that you know shouldn't be taking place but as a general matter of carrying out our fiduciary responsibility. we think it's consistent with the other duties we execute as commissioner winn just said. we've let the school co

i should say mrs. lee is on her way in the bus but she hadn't made it here. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. from san francisco apartment association. i want to thank you supervisor chiu and the rest of his sponsors. i think this election is a good piece of legislation to create an migration to a difficult problem. i want to encourage this to allow private owners to step in and help anti amending that law so we can help out where there are no fault evocation to help getting people stabilized with unit for a year or two. i hope you employ that creativity to help us all house people that need to be housed. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please ted from san francisco tent e tenancies. this is a good piece of legislation one person getting evicted has no place to go. it, it's an epidemic when tenant are being evoked and having to sign up for huge long waiting lists. the lee's were applying for tenant space and only had one year and were not close to getting a place. the people needing residence are in need we need to keep pe

we've had a good relationship with mr. lee and i. pier 48 we have plans and our first tenant anchor brewer has hired their architecture will firm and engineering firm and they're doing duo due diligence how much that will cost and it will lead to negotiations and we can't do anything until the environmental review is duplicate but once that happens in neo 15 we'll hit the ground running. strapgs plan another important piece not only for our project but for the community in the whole we're working with the transportation planning will work together with the larger effort to come up with a solution. of course, i mentioned sustainable ability we believe we have an opportunity we've mentioned before to pursue 2k3wr0u7bd breaking. fwhuns a lifetime at any point to create from the ground up substantial measures that aren't seeing none, nationally given the fact we're starting with a ground slate look at the cooling systems and the feasibility of a centralized trash collection for example. not only look at them but we have a development par

mr. lee: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. lee: mr. president, in utah i have a program that i call my mobile office. it's a way for many of my constituents, many of whom live some distance from my two offices in the state, to meet with members of my staff in order to discuss various concerns they have with the federal government, concerns that arise from their interaction with any of various federal programs and agencies. it allows us to help these constituents and it provides vital information that i can use to better represent them back here in washington. at one meeting in davis county, a man attended who wanted to tell us about his experience with obamacare. he owns two small food stores and a 7-eleven. he's also an emigrant, having come to the united states just 12 years ago to seek a better life for himself and for his family. he gives back to his community. he contributes to his economy and provides jobs for people who live in his town. but now obamacare's threatening all of that. his insurance premiums for his family are going

>> i want to thank mr. lee and as well as from the mta. i know in september when we were looking at the pilot project and part of the goal of our office on homelessness and mta was to track more of the human impact as well and i'm hoping that moves forward as one of the solutions about what happens to the estimated 161-200 people the coalition on homeless analysis said it was 2.5 percent of the 2011 homeless kouvenlt -- kouvenlt count. it was about 161 people living in their vehicles. then there is loma and matthew that came out to the hearings that are part of that roughly 200 people we were talking about. my hope is that the inter faith council can track the human impacts. i did want to say that i do want to acknowledge that i do get the pictures from 14th avenue and funston of the impacts. i agree with supervisor campos, what you agree might be great for one area, might be a total disaster for another area. i think connected with what mr. duffy suggestion for the lots to provide for the vehicles. but for boulevard neighbors and the pres

. >> the riots group also interviewed a former security official in the same camp, referred to as mr. lee, he said prisoners were forced to dig their own graves and that women inmates were often raped before being killed. >> the purpose of prison camps is to oppress, degrade, and violate inmates for as long as they are alive. >> north korea denies the existence of these camps, but the images and harrowing accounts released by amnesty tell a different story. >> to thailand, where proceed tests have given way to parades to celebrate the king's 86th birthday, but the country is still on edge following several days of violent street clashes between police and anti-government protesters. >> ties were supposed to set aside political divisions under king's birthday, but when the prime minister appeared on the screen, this is how opposition upporters reacted. >> abuser! abuser! >> minutes later, the king called for stability in his speech. >> all ties should focus on doing their duties according to their responsibilities for the greater interest, which is the security and stability of the country

it turns out that mr. leeis healing in a way that they can no longer claim that he is being disfigured. i would like to see these guys have the book thrown at them. they took a man out of his car in front of his wife and kid and they beat him. it is the job of the lawyers to engage in activities that will produce results. don't they have to choose charges that might bring a conviction if you are on the prosecution side? >> i guess the difference here is that the jail time used to be up to 25 years and if convicted it could be up to 15 years. >> now that it seems that he hasn't been injured the jail time would be up to 15 years. i imagine they wouldn't have gotten 25 or 15 however, in order to bring the charges they have to have a good faith basis for the charges that they bring. it seems that the charges that they can bring are the reduced charges that have the maximum. if you bring a charge that is over reaching you risk losing the whole case. that is the last thing that anybody wants to see risk. >> thank yo

thanks to mr. lee. and tonight they are saying thank you to him. 14-year-old christian says merry christmas to the host of this festive event. he'll be adopted next month after waiting five years for a family. what are you looking forward to? >> having a mom and a dad that can support me and school and -- just having fun with them. and spending time together. >> jennifer's adopted little jackson last month. she's impressed with winston's decision to help the foster children. and says we should all do the same. >> if you're able to, there's so many kids out there that need to be adopted and they bring joy to everybody they touch. >> our future is our children. you have to do what is right for them. >> good for winston. good for him. that was wofl's keith landry reporting. winston, i am confident, will eventually find the right person. >> please, after that story and what he did, he's going to get many proposals. think girls will be calling him, going, hey, winston, you're a good guy. >> kind-hearted pers

mr. mayor lee, good morning. i want to thank my colleagues here this morning. we've all been together on this and we work very well together to keep the whole city moving. i want to thank the director of transportation. lots of things are happening in this city. a lot of things are planning for the future. but this is so exciting because this is something that people can actually see. they will see it and ride it and enjoy it from the moment the service begins. thank john hailey for this experience. i'm glad to be part of the mta. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> thank you, mr. mr. chairman. i had the pleasure of working with him. we are very grateful to have his partnership in helping us keep these buses. i love the mayor's challenge at least i heard of the challenge that years down the road we should look at these buses to look as good as they do today. we have support from all of san francisco to keep these great investments to continue to look good. the other one is our transit director john daleey who has spent a lot of time to get these buses to hit t

. >> and mr. lee also said he is bullish on financials and large cap tech stocks. >> that brings us to seema moody. she is reporting on stocks that didn't fare so well in 2013. the big question here is, are they poised to take off in 2014 from dogs to stars? naming some names. >> that's right. we're calling it the dog to darling trend where some of the biggest losers of one year become some of the best performers of the next year. now in 2011 one of the biggest laggards was bank of america. it lost 58% that year. morgan stanley, not one of the biggest losers on the s&p 500 it did lose 42%. but thanks to signs of recovery in the housing market and better than expected earnings bank stocks did well. in 2012 bank of america became one of the best performing s&p 500 stocks gaining 108 %. now let's talk about 2012. out of the ten worst performing stocks in 2012, six are now positive in 2013 with pitney bowes and best buy up triple digits. now hewlett-packard another winner up 91% this year while cliffs nat

mr. lee: mr. president, i'd first like to thank my distinguished colleague, the senior senator from wyoming, who is a good friend and a final example to all those who know him. people from both sides of the aisle can learn and benefit from my friend from wyoming who as a businessman, later as a mayor, as a devoted husband and father, has served his country well and has served his colleagues in the senate well. his remarks on the senate floor tonight have been especially insightful and i've learned something from him this evening as i do every time he speaks. he's one who reached out to me shortly after i arrived here in the united states senate and one who has always shown to me great kindness. and i've always been grateful for that and i look forward to continuing to work with him in the senate. you know, mr. president, what's happening in the senate right now is more than just an attempt by the majority to end debate on nominees. it's an attempt to shut out the american people from the political
