mr. peters and making it clear the steps that were needed and not done, the situation is to promote the conditional use appeal that the developer's attempt, although a subtle letter next time, the message is clear, so my message is we have here a commission, we have a department director and a minute ago, we had a deputy city attorney and i think that the time is long past to ask the city attorney to take the steps that you normally take in this kind of situation -- oh, she is still here -- that you have the city attorney initiate actions towards court orders, fines and condemnation, this is the thing that needs to be done while we're working, you know, the other attempt at resolution. the property manager in the city says, you know, nothing i can do exactly because i can't get authorized to do anything by the officials in sacramento or the people here, so when the people who really are managing the property there, the two owners on the two sets of corners contact the person in sacramento, she writes back and she says, there's no electricity and i hope this church will be demolished really soon, al

peter witt. >> ed haley. mark gruburg. >> i'm sorry, mr. healy is here. >> i'm beginning to sound like peter witt. i started out as a -- i started out as an inter center person, negotiating in the original pilot plan. i'm a very moderate and practical individual and the city did a great thing a couple of years ago when it didn't do that pilot plan. all of the members of community came together, regardless of their political leanings and made a plan that benefited everybody. and you people have basically taken that plan and thrown it in the trash. we had -- you mentioned transparency. there used to be tranceparency a couple of years ago there was transparency and now you are having meetings without any involvement of the cab drivers. you are judging by reading mr. -- or director's heinicke mail. you had the plan you put into effect two weeks ago. you had it without ever discussing it with the person you put it together behind closed doors and i believe in violation of the sunshine ordinance. i believe that you violated your own rules. you violated the rules of the city and you violated the rules of

[ applause ] >> peter jacobs. >> mr. jacobs. >> hi. good afternoon. i am in support of this proposition. i think we do need more cabs in the city. it's a well-known fact, i think. however,, i am concerned about how the medallions will be distributed, to which companies and by which processes that it's excited? i know mr. reiskin, you said it's going to be based on the volume of calls and level of responsiveness. however, in my conversation, it was indicated it would be on a variety of other factors, including minimum pick up violations and these types of other things. there has to be a lot of transparency with regard to that, because there is so much influence, that i think it's the germ feeling at least, there is a lot of influence by the larger companies and make sure these are distributed evenly and fairly. so in closing, essentially what i'm trying to say that this should be delayed for the time beijing. being, first of all to get more information and the terms by which they will be distributed.

mr. peters' question, i'm curious since you're, you can't necessarily speak for him, but since your father sort of the father of modern conservativism, what would he think of what he has wrought? and is only of which he -- and some of which he must have seen in the closing days of this life. i mean, the crudity and the lies that we see now, i wonder -- maybe that's not a fair question, but it does leap to mind. >> did you all hear the question? you know, i thank you for your question. it's tricky trying to channel your father's ghost. hamlet tried it. [laughter] didn't end up so well. my father died in 2008, and he had, i think he, um, he, you know, he lived to see -- it has been said, you know, if it had not been for -- it has been said that if it hadn't been for bill buckley, there wouldn't have been a barry goldwater, and if there hadn't have been a barry goldwater, there wouldn't have been -- it was the other guy, reagan. i think he was, so he, you know, he, he, he lived to see history coalesce in certain ways that he launched a bit of shi, you might say. and i don't mean that flippant

mr. courier. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm peters association. i do hope that you will be able to come to a decision that's reasonable with respect to enabling the now-paralyzed sunshine ordinance task force to be able to meet again. certainly the previous speaker, who mentioned your supposed ignorance about the qualifications is right. i think that's a very, very poor performance to supposedly not know what the requirements are for a seat, and particularly when it's explicitly written into the law. there shall, at all times, be a member of the sunshine task force who is physically disabled. it speaks to a severe failure on the part of the board of supervisors and/or its clerk and/or the city attorney. this is something that you can fix today. with respect to the candidates, certainly you have one with the requirements that you list in your agenda, who stands far above the others in terms of demonstrated interest in/and experience in issues of citizen access and participation in local government. and i certainly would mm

peter king. he's the chairman of the house homeland security committee. mr.irman, thanks very much. >> you're welcome. >> you've caused quite a stir by suggesting that the obama administration is considering releasing the so-called blind sheikh, sheikh omar abdel rahman who was responsible for the initial world trade center bombing back in the early '90s. they flatly denied that. what evidence do you have that they may be considering this request? >> first, wolf, they have not flatly denied it but let me say the basis for the letter, i sent it along with seven other senior house chairmen, committee chairmen and subcommittee chairmen because several months ago, president morsi in his inaugural address said he wanted the blind sheikh released to egyptian custody. then over the last several months, especially the last few weeks, i know my staff has contact with federal law enforcement saying questions are being asked if the sheikh were to be released or transferred, what the procedures would be. also, over the last several months, when i have had contact with di

mr. obama's easy re-election. congressman petermocrat from vermont and the chief deputy and delighted to say he joins us live from charlotte. good afternoon, sir. do you believe that congressman ryan put party before country n and startling the grand bargain because he feared it would not only help reduce the deficit, it would also help the president. >> he did. that's exactly what happened. i mean, ryan is -- literally becoming the fibber in chief in this election. you know, he was the decisive vote on whether or not that simpson/bowles proposal would go for an up or down vote. every member of the commission was in a tight spot but you had people like senator durbin of -- very respected liberal, and who voted for it. to have congress vote. and you had -- you had senator coburn, very conservative republican, voting for it. he didn't like a lot of things in it. but it was the one chance that con would have had to be put on the spot to vote yes or no on the debt. ryan's vote made the difference and he killed it. now he is running for

>> yes, peter, go ahead and respond. mr. reagan had a deal with double-digit inflation and double digit interest rates. he really did accomplish a dwraet deal, and it's unreasonable to say that all republicans are going to look like mr. bush. the fact about spin, mr. krugman is closing ranks with other progressives. most economists and the majority of economists and democrats see the growth rate continuing to be slow into the new year, about 22% or less. most of the baj economists are democrats. >> quick point about mr. reagan. actually, reagan was a pretty ka kainianism economist. he was an aggressive spender and it did help boost the economy. >> one last chance for spin here. you worked for vice president biden. how did he do last night? >> i thought he did absolutely great. >> was he literally great or figuratively great? >> literally. >> please, don't go there it, because i'm so confused as to which means which at this point. no, i thought he really connected. >> jared, peter, you guys make economy fun. i love it. >> tak
