mr. burns. michael levin. >> mr. president and commissioners, i'm michael levin, life-long resident of the city. san francisco history buff. praoeshltzer of art. -- appreciater of art. when i first heard about this proposal my initial reaction is how can we remove part of such an historic piece of san francisco. one of the few links to pre-1906 san francisco tonight. the pre-1906 civic centre. a front piece for the first grand city hall that san francisco had. nothing else is left of that civic centre except a couple of buildings that were built along city hall avenue before it was abolished in 1912, which kind of gives you an idea of where the civic centre used to be. to me, the native american depicted in the early days grouping looks more intelligent than the friar and the other man benting over him. but that is my interpretation. not every person looking at it for the first time will have that san francisco. so i attended the arts commission meeting on october 2. and my proposal was simply to have a larger plaque,

i really -- i think mr. levin said it quite well about the what happens from here because, you know, the old expression those who do not know history are deemed to repeat it. and i'm very -- i'm very concerned about not having the story there for the specific reason of people seeing it and that this is part of our history. it is our story. and while it is a bad one and it demonstrates man's, you know, man's baddest -- worstest qualities, i still think there is somehow we should follow through on understanding that. that is what makes always better society today than in 1894 when this monument was built. you know, i know that poland literally rebuilt parts of auschwitz as a museum to tell people to not forget. i mean, my background is jewish. and, you know, my ancestry, i had relatives who were lost during the war. and, you know, i think that's significant. because i think that if, you know, if we just wipe out that history, i mean, we're already seeing some of it in our current politics today of, you know, of thin

[baby crying] >> thank you, mr. levin. does any other member of the public wish to speak on a nonagendaized item? please come forward. seeing and hearing none, we'll close general public comment. >> very good, commissioners. that places us department matters. item one, director's announcements. >> good afternoon. tim pride, department staff. the director will not be joining us this afternoon. however, i'm happy to forward any questions you may have to him so he can answer them at a future hearing. >> seeing no questions, commissioners, item two. review of past events at the planning commission, staff report and announcements. >> commissioners, tim pride, department staff. two items to share with you. one, supervisor breed's office arrange add community meeting regarding 930 grow street. last week, planning staff was present along with d.b.i., the precinct police chief, city attorney's office and the project architect and property owner. the primary purpose of the community meeting was to address or respond to ongoing secur

mr. levine, we asked what will say when the bell rings at 7:40? he said i don't know. he said looking the way the past few weeks have gone, i'm sure they will share it with you immediately. they have shared their voices. their activism will help them get through. >> they seem activated. that's what's gotten through the past two weeks. chris, we should let you know that there are some students who aren't ready to go back, saying they can't imagine going back to what they call a crime scene. we will speak to them also. we will meet two students, one of whom was shot. how they are coping with their emotional and physical wounds as they prepare to go to class today. all of that next from park land. is why is dark magic so is spell-bindingly good? it's a bold blend of coffee with rich flavors of uganda, sumatra, colombia and other parts of south america. like these mountains, each amazing on their own. but together? magical. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters.

mr. levin, who has also been a strong advocate, coming from michigan, he brings a heartland perspective to our discussion. thank you, mr. levin. carolyn maloney from new york. care lynn. there she is. carolyn maloney, thank you. of course, new yorkers think they own this issue so do we in california. but it's a heartland issue as well. so i'm very proud of all the members who have come here but also for the work that they have done and there are many others who have been working very hard on this issue. starting -- when we started our meetings at 8:00 this morning, continued in our leaders meeting, mr. crowley and mr. hoyer, about where we go from ere in terms of the budget negotiations that have gone on. as i said earlier, there are many good things in the budget agreement. they have been responsive in a bipartisan way. you know, again, it's a compromise. i'll just return to that because some people may not have heard my first statement. the budget caps agreements includes many democratic prio

. >> thank you, mr. levin, you're recognized. >> welcome. your statement talks about tax cuts for the middle class. >> laster you said there would be no absolute tax cut for the upper class. and we now have joint tax committee data, and it shows that those with income over $1 million or more would receive an average tax cut of over $64,000 next year under the tax law. do you disagree with that? >> i have no reason to disagree with the numbers. i don't have them in front of me but i'll assume what you're citing is correct. >> well, that -- i think that makes your glasses kind of rose colored. >> again, i want to clarify this because what i said at the beginning of last year, which was the case, it what's president's objective to offsift any tax cuts with elimination of other deductions. we worked closely with the house and senate, and this was an issue we looked at very carrifully. >> i understand that. ous you said last year there would be no absolute tax cut for the upper class and the data shows otherwise. you budget assumes a 3% increase,

mr. levin, you're recognized. >> special hello, sam. special hello. we've all welcomed serving with you. mr. secretary, we also appreciate the way you've been reaching out. we thank you. you said, no one size fits all. that was the line for decades and the problem was that the alternative was that any size at all will fit. and you now have a request, i think for a waiver, or you're reviewing the idaho health proposal that would allow premium rates tied to preexisting conditions i think in violation of aca. are you reviewing that? >> so, congressman levin, first thank you very much for our phone call. it meant a great deal to me. i plan to work with you. on the idaho situation i'm not aware of a waiver request. i have seen the media reports about interactions between the government of idaho and one plan but i'm not aware that our opinions or views have been solicited on that question yet. >> will you look at it? >> we will look at it, whenever it comes to us. of course there are rules, and there is a rule of law that we need to, that we need to enforce.

mr. president, we need meaningful action. if you want these devices off the street, call congressional republicans and tell them to stop blocking our bill. >> for more on this where join by college law professor david levine. your reaction to the president. i guess it is not an executive order, he is stuck in the doj to look into the regulations. explain how this works.>> there is a number of different ways that the government can regulate things in this is a traditionally which is to look at and mistreated like lace -- legislation, in which the attorney general would pass on the presidents directive and you would have to look legally to see whether the government took the position that you could indeed regulate the bump stock and issue tentative regulation. those of be open for what is called notice and comment after period of time the could become regulation. senator feinstein said she would rather pass her bill and i think that is quite right because that would lock things in. regulations could go by the wayside and could be reversed later or maybe this is something that would get very. this could be a weak to bury things because if you listen to what the president said, he said have instructed the att
