jenna: ranking democrats in the house over shiite anjou dish airy committees are defending mr. perez congressman darrell issa of california is chairman of the oversight committee part of this report that is out about mr. perez. congressman your critics say that these claims are dubious, that they are part of a broader political campaign to undermine the legal safeguard against discrimination that mr. perez was protecting. your response? >> unfortunately that is exactly the question that should be asked. why won't you want the u.s. supreme court to make a decision as tow a civi to a civil rights claim? why won't this president who signed a new strength in whistle-blower statute want a whistle-blower backed up? the $200 million is not the principle here. the principle here is whistle-blowers come forward, they do so to our benefit, the cases are about recovering money that the federal government gets cheated out of that's why our committee is so involved in it. from a standpoint of civil justice senator grassley and chairman goodlatt are involved in the whole question of what was mr. p

mr. perez. >> with regards to your community outreach it says you mentioned three organizations you went to? >> we went to the community leadership alliance. the alliance for better district 6 and we also contacted the union square on business improvement district. >> when you say you contacted them what does that mean exactly? >> we have a letter of support. >> did you make a presentation? >> no. we spoke to them and met with them. they met with the owner. some of them did. the only one that has any res reservation was a concern from someone outside of the district. >> did you go to their meeting? did you meet with somebody? how did that conversation take place? >> the community leadership alliance is here tonight to speak on behalf of the restaurant. >> i was asking you. the application states you went to the meeting. >> i didn't read that question carefully. they were contacted. >> okay. that's what i was trying to clarify. >> they were contacted. >> so i guess what we are trying to clarify

. >> thank you mr. perez and i do want to call my last two remaining -- i'm sorry. my last remaining card and that is mark bolton but if you didn't hear your name called or not called feel free to step up and line up behind mr. bolton. >> good afternoon supervisors. i am lori leaderman and i came to speak on item six so i will be sticking around but i wanted to talk about auto and pedestrian safety. i am a alarmed at one of the unintentional consequences in greening medians. they're beautiful but they grow. they create barriers to vision. two areas are viz diro when plants are growing and extend into the lane in the median in a number of locations. at intersections this is a hazard for legal left turns and block the on coming traffic. also if a pedestrian is in the middle of the crosswalk they are less visible to the driver and difficult to see the vehicles. another location this is occurring is on kirkham where a strategy to traffic calm and this creates a vision barrier hiding pedestrians from drivers so my request is in planning these median strips please plan ah

paul by mr. perez. you know, we've had the e.p.a. administrator use the dog's name for an email system, i was chairman of the subcommittee looking into some of these issues, and we didn't know to subpoena the dog's email. we weren't getting anns back. it appeared as if a personal email account was used for communication between mr. perez and the attorney in st. paul. the interesting thick is that there was a subpoena issued by the oversight committee and the justice department spokesman's quote was, we have been cooperating and will continue to cooperate with legitimate oversight requests because mr. perez has resisted agreeing with t. is that a legitimate oversight, subpoena for personal emails, when a personal email system may have been used potentially to avoid the -- obtaining of records under federal law. the reason i lean -- >> the reason i lean back, i want to make sure what i'm about to say is correct. the relevant material was provided so that the information can be examine -- examined, can be reviewed and determinations mad
