>>supervisor norman yee: mr. richards, would you like to make a statement. >> supervisors, thank you for allowing me to be here today. this is the first time i'm able to serve. i would like to thank those that support me. the committee report i submitted today involves many great details. i began my work in the historic preservation at the time the sounding board was threatened and we are glad to see it's now part of the lgbt community center. and also served the time in the last economic boom on the community street services for dolores home and the housing for folks with hiv and aids. after that i served a little bit of time with supervisor leno on the task force and some issues that you are going to be hearing about today which reminds me about 14 years ago. i have been a member of the heritage for years. we reached help to get to under represented communities and getting more involved. i'm happy to say the work that my leader of heritage has done has really not only from a physical environment point of view b

mr. norman bay to be a member of the federal energy regulatory commission.rc is one of the letters known but perhaps one of the most important independent agencies in the federal government. it has jurisdiction over interstate transmission of electricity, oil, and natural gas, as well as licensing of hydroelectric power. i believe mr. bay will be an outstanding member of the federal energy regulatory commission, and i urge all of my colleagues to support his nomination today. since 2009, mr. bay has been the director of the office of enforcement at ferc, where he has gained extensive experience in the regulation of energy markets. the office of enforcement is responsible for market oversight and surveillance and for implementing the anti-manipulation authority that congress enacted in the energy policy act of 2005. this authority provided for new tools to combat the type of market manipulation that produced the devastating power crisis a decade ago across the west. under mr. bay's leadership, ferc has increased transparency in its work while bringing a numbe

mr. chair. >>supervisor norman yee: so, could i have bobbie wilson. maybe give him a few seconds to leave the room. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am privileged and honored with the opportunity to speak with you today. thank you. i started my legal career in san francisco as a legal aid society employment law center in the mission where i focused on high impact employment cases representing farm workers and black firefighters, lesbian police officer whose fellow officers put a rat in her locker because she dared to complain about sexual orientation discrimination. as part of the employment, i also staffed the workers rights clinics. those would be clinics that we would have at different locations and would have people come in who couldn't afford lawyers and talk about their employment problems and they had many many types of employment problems. i tell you that because it goes to the diversity of my legal experience. after the employment law center i went to a private practice to a firm that is no longer around but a great firm, howard rice. they h

james baangartner was born in norman, oklahoma, he dropped the bau, mr.st name when he became a contract act ever. his break came when he won the part of brett maverick in 1957. >> ohs, i wouldn't say that. >> unlike the characters john wayne and clint eastwood who were playing at the time quick to pull a gun and throw a punch, garner's maverick used his brains to get out of trouble. >> you don't look like the world's worst liar until you try telling the truth. >> that set the tone for much of garner's career. >> i'm not a guy you want to fool around with. >> in the '70s he struck television lightning twice as jim rockford grumpy private-- private detective who avoided fights. in the days when actors either worked in television or movies, garner managed to move effortlessly between the two. >> next stop, switzerland. >> in the great escape he called upon his real life experiences as a soldier in the korean war for which he had been awarded two purple hearts. his performance won wide acclaim. but playing the put pun, reluckant ant unlikely hero was his tru

norman yee: thank you. any other public comments on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed. supervisor campos? >>supervisor david campos: thank you, mr. chairman. it's great to see how life works and to see people who came to speak and people who on their own have impressive careers and people that have this caliber to come and support bobbie wilson. it's my honor to approve the nomination of bobby wills ie wilson and to move that forward to the board of supervisors. >>supervisor norman yee: supervisor tang? >>supervisor katy tang: thank you for serving in this capacity. i think i was one of the individuals to ask her during your current capacity with your work lights and all the wonderful skills that you bring, why would you want to serve on this board and i appreciate that you want to give back to the community and use your skill set to help the community antd folks that do have to appear before the board of appeals which is often the last stop that people have and their last hope. i appreciate that and look forward to working with you in this capacity and support supervisor's ability to amend this and with full support to the boar

mr. chairman, i live with a student that has nefited back home, both at norman high school and spartanburg high school, probably other high schools have partnered with schools of higher learning to prepare our children to, number one, be able to gauge the speed of pitches in college. the pitchers pitch a little faster in college sometimes than they do in high school. but more significantly, particularly for my daughter's friends, it enables them to go ahead and start getting college credit and reducing both your case load and more importantly the cost when these children decide to matriculate. the dual enrollment programs are widespread and they deserve to be considered as part of the demonstration projects. and with that i would reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from vermont rise? mr. welch: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in opposition to the amendment although i am not opposed. the chair: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. welch: first of all, i do want to thank

mr. president, on a different matter, i'd like to voice my opposition to the nomination of norman bay to be commissioner of and eventually lead the federal energy regulatory commission or ferc. i fail to see what qualifies mr. bay to be chairman of the commission, especially when the acting chair of ferc whom he would displace is much more qualified to hold the position. unlike most ferc commissioners in the last decade, he has never served as a state utility regulator. he's never served on the commission and does not possess the background and policy areas that ferc is charged with overseeing. in contrast to mr. bay, the current acting chair of ferc, shirley lafleur, is much more qualified to hold the chair position. miss lafleur came to ferc with more than two decades experience in the electric and natural gas industries, including roles as chief operating officer, general counsel and acting c.e.o. of national grid u.s.a. and its predecessor. i find it shameful that this administration would seek to displace a well-qualified woman in favor of a male nominee with less experience. more im

mr. president, i rise today to discuss the nomination of norman bay. president obama has nominated mr.bay to be the commissioner or a commissioner of the federal energy regulatory commission, called ferc. the president had announced that if mr. bay is confirmed, that his plan is to elevate mr. bay to the position of chairman of ferc. for the last few months, there have been much discussion about whether the president should have nominated mr. bay to be chairman. i think there is very good reason for us to ask whether the president really should have nominated mr. bay at all. in my view, mr. bay is not qualified to be a commissioner, let alone to be chairman of ferc. mr. bay has only five years working in the energy sector. a total of five years. this is less time than the keystone x.l. pipeline has been pending with the obama administration. during the nomination hearing, i specifically asked mr. bay about his lack of experience. in response, he cited his summer internship at the department of energy research facility during college. a summer internship during college. with all due res
