mr. wolfe had been part of the task force when all these things had happened. ostensibly including when it found mr. wiener guilty of official misconduct on september 27, 2011. wiener presented no specific charges -- mr. wolfe, just that wolfe had been around. >> chair kim: wrap up your final sentence. >> as mr. planthold has written to the mayor it's a simple matter ignoring the advice of the attorney is not grounds for action by any city agency or official. i recommend that you appoint and recommend mr. wolfe for this appointment. >> chair kim: thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is dr. derek cur. the removal of bruce wolfe from the sunshine task force was an act of political retaliation. it was also a slight to the disability community. there's a way to resolve all of this to make peace torques put it behind us. thank you. >> chair kim: thank you. is there any other public comment on this item? seeing none, put is now -- okay. if you'd like to speak for public comment, pleas

mr. wolfe may have a respect perspective on a specific issue, i do believe that he is the kind of individual that goes out of his way to listen to the other side, and to take the other side -- the other perspective into consideration. i have seen that time and time again. and i actually was present at the last task force meeting that took place, the first meeting following the appointment of new members, and i have to say that i saw, firsthand, the need for the kind of experience and institutional knowledge that mr. wolfe has. i really believe that the work of that task force can be a lot better, that the work product can be more -- a lot better and more effective, if he is on that task force. i have not always agreed with everything that mr. wolfe has decided on the task force, but i have respected where he's coming from, and i understand why, you know, he concluded in a certain way. so i really think that we have an opportunity to just move forward. mr. wolfe, i think, is someone who will bri

mr. wolfe, and that is, as you know, at this time, the committee on information technology and the department of technology are attempting to consolidate and upgrade the city's electronic record system with respect to storage backup and retrievable. and this is an area where the task force is -- as you can imagine, very interested. and mr. wolfe has long experience in information technology. that is a matter of fact -- as a matter of fact, what he does professionally. so i think that that should merit strong consideration as you go forward. again, i think, you know, mr. wolfe has served on the task force. he's done so in an admirable fashion. thank you. >> chair kim: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is diana d. matthews, a small business othe owner. i'm here to speak on behalf of my colleague and friend, kai wilson forsley. every day, kai works for public access, the citizens of san francisco, the underrepresented, and usually the undersupported for public access to key cultural, financial

mr. wolfe has served on the task force. he's done so in an admirable fashion. thank you. >> chair kim: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is diana d. matthews, a small business othe owner. i'm here to speak on behalf of my colleague and friend, kai wilson forsley. every day, kai works for public access, the citizens of san francisco, the underrepresented, and usually the undersupported for public access to key cultural, financial, and political information. she mentioned voter registration. this is what she does every day for the 99%. and if the one shows up, them too. one of the great critiques that the average person has about government is that government isn't working and we don't know why. so we need greater public access to critical government information and that's one of the things the sunshine ordinance task force is very good at. i know that if kai wilson forsley is appointed nothing will get in the public's way of getting this information because she's breaking down critical infor

we have a motion to move forward mr. wolfe with recommendation. and we do have a comment from supervisor wiener. >> supervisor wiener: thank you very much. when i came in today, his i was not planning on saying anything. i actually came for the next item, the very important lgbt senior task force. and i look forward to getting to that so i was not planning on commenting on this. but there were a number of comments that were made by members of the public that could be i think confusing to both those that are here today and those who are watching, who have not followed this saga. and personal attacks and personalizing things are really pretty misleading way. smns, once a prominent member of the san francisco political progressive community told me a number of years ago that you know you've made it big time when people start seeing your fingerprints on things you didn't touch, and people start at tributing all sorts of power to you that you don't have. as much as it might be nice to make decisions for the entire board of supervisors, i don't have tha

mr. wolferesented at our last rules committee meeting but if you could speak to your experience on the sunshine task force and reasons why you would like to continue your priorities during that presentation that would be great. >> i appreciate that. i'll make it brief. my name is bruce wolfe i served on the sunshine task force 2005 with one year hiatus. i became interested in it because of various issues surrounding city college at the time. and just in general, i think it's a great idea that we all, you know, have some oversight and some look-see at transparency and making sure that the public and the city family has their just due in making sure everything is clean, and moves forward smoothly. i have pretty extensive research and background in studying constitutional law, and in construction, and in these areas. and i really enjoy serving on it. it's not a political position for me. i enjoy being there. i have no aspirations of moving in anywhere else. and really that's about it. i'll be open

(camera shutter clicking) mr. wolfe? so far, so clean. mr. sam laughlin has copped to the murder, but is unwilling to give up his stolen fuel connection. this trailer is our only link. i just don't get it. why go through all the trouble of rigging something like this? think how expensive it is to transport these women across country. yeah, i guess it makes sense. you steal a thousand gallons of gasoline every other day, you're saving over, uh... over 60 grand a month. wait a minute. the escalade had cold plates. these could be the real ones. let's run it. (computer trilling) (beeps) (trilling beeps) the plates are registered to paul sanders. paul sanders. the host of the party. it says here he's got a shipping business. yes, mr. wolfe, to transport women. thank you. okay, let's go. rapido. out of there. where are you taking us? what does it matter? let's go! muevalo! no! which one? huh? who said that? who?! caine: i said it. caine: ladies. caine: get down on the ground. put your hands on your head. i'm not gonna say it again. i give these wom

opinion, we're going to go through this same thing we went through a number of months ago, where mr. wolfe -- unless maybe some things change, but i don't believe will have the full support of the board of supervisors, and wil we'll be bk

and even though mr. wolfe may have a respect perspective on a specific issue, i do believe that he is the kind of individual that goes out of his way to listen to the other side, and to take the other side -- the other perspective into consideration. i have seen that time and time again. and i actually was present at the last task force meeting that took place, the first meeting

on a personal level, i like mr. wolfe. i have nothing against him. i worked closely with him when we were fighting against the dog restrictions proposed by the golden gate national recreation area and we i think did very well in that fight. so this is not personal. this is about the task force. and i understand there's a disagreement, and i completely respect that. but i did want to provide my perspective. thank you. >> chair kim: thank you, supervisor wiener. we have a motion on the floor and i'd like to take roll call on that motion. >> linda wong: on the motion, supervisor farrell, no. supervisor campos, aye. supervisor kim, aye. >> linda wong: twoize, one no. >> chair kim: thank you. motion passes. madam clerk, can you please call item 4. >> linda wong: hearing to consider appointing 15 members in -- terms to the lgbt seniors task force. there are 15 seats and 44 applicants. >> chair kim: thank you. and ms. wong, could you list the members that have e-mailed either the clerk or our office that have withdrawn their application. i've got at least t

i have a lot to say, mr. wolf is right, readjudication is the wrong approach. another point of information if i may suggest. for those members of the public who have bladders, please have a mercy break for us soon. with regard to the -- you know, i was thinking of a wonderful old slogan, for a terrible old bread. for those old enough to remember, wonder helps build strong bodies 12 -- >> ways. >> thank you. and this is chalk-a-block, with way more than 12 ways for people to wiggle out of accountability and responsibility. over and over again. i appreciate that many members have pointed some out. first of all, page 7, filing complaints. it should be clear for an ordinary person, what is a show-cause hearing, define why a complainant should not get what he or she wants. something along those lines. not everyone knows what that is. on a-2-b, why not say that the sunshine ordinance provides for documents of hearings for 45 days. the fact you are not clear of who is holding a hearing and what the consequences are, is stunning and that should be cleared up as you sai

on the contrary, mr. wolfe, you've been very helpful. duquesne: salucci wasn't messing around.right on the spot where his daughter was killed. packed him tight, too. slowed decomp. hang on. william campbell said he only heard one shot, right? yeah. why? well, the only entry wound is in his kneecap. he wouldn't have died from that injury. why not shoot to kill? i don't know. maybe you've got the answer. any idea of the cause of death? yes, actually. looks like our killer planted an american flag. excuse me? red eyes, white skin, blue lips. all consistent with strangulation. actually, it looks like his shirt covered up some evidence here. got a thin residue of something. sometimes, even a touch of evil can close the case. so, a.j. watkins was strangled. yeah, tara confirmed that at the post. but the killer left something behind. talk to me. calleigh found some pollen on the neck of the victim. uh, said it's from a lily. problem is, there's over a hured varieties. a lily. i called the dade u botany department, to see if they could narrow it down to one. that's not going to be nece

mr. wolf chief commentator for the financial times joins me from london.ining us and thank you for for for your clever critique you've been pulling throughout the years. >> thank you. it's a pleasure to be with you. >> eliot: throughout your article, you use a word that is at the core of so much of what occurred in 2008. that word is "leverage." why is leverage the elixir fundamental to the way the economy has gone. >> leverage is debt. taking savings from savers to people who want to use it, to use the savings. and the savings takes the form of a debt contract. our system has extraordinarily brilliant ways of creating debt. our whole banking system is designed to create it. if you start off in an economy with prices that are quite low with an economy that is growing rapidly, creating debt and assumeing debt, in other words taking on debt contracts look like an aincredibly attractive way of making money. if the assets you're buying with debt do well, the prices rise, you make good profits you'll make enormous improvements with your wealth because it's in t

wolf. >> it's a big question indeed. very quickly, mr. mayor, the governor has criticized president obama for ordering his administration not to deport children who are in the country illegally saying it was a political move. was it strictly a political move? >> absolutely not. you can't have it both ways. he says he doesn't want to mass deport 11 million people, but he wants to make conditions so miserable, so intolerable, so oppressive that they self-deport. no country in the world has ever deported 12 million people. the fact of the matter is, the president did the right thing, that reflected his values, reflected the fact that these kids are going to contribute mightily to the nation. what i would hope is, and i've said this before, that we ought to work on a bipartisan basis to pass comprehensive immigration reform now. get it out of the campaign. get it out of the discussion. let's work together now to do that. >> don't hold your breath. that's not going to happen. >> i agree with you -- sorry? >> i was going to say, unfortunately w

it would seem that mr. wolf blitzer got himself some new glasses.he saw someone wearing them, liked them and decided to pick up a pair for himself. i wonder where he could have possibly gotten that idea. i don't want to accuse wolf blitzer going all single white female on me. but these glasses kind of my thing. no one, i mean no one else has them, except, of course, for elvis costello, johnny depp, robert downey jr., of course even snooki. come on, i'm the only one on cnn who rocks these glasses. okay, maybe tom foreman has them too. he may have had them before either of us. he's the trend setter. tom foreman is the johnny depp of cnn. we're not the only one who noticed wolf's new look. if you googled wolf's glasses before today. this is about all you would come up with. wine glasses with wolves on them. if you google wolf glasses now. it's blitzer's new look all over the place. on the blogs, the news sites, twitter, facebook. it's everywhere. there's probably a tumblr thing about it. i'm not sure what tumblr is, but i'm sure there's one about it. i

it would seem that mr. wolf blitzer got himself some new glasses. onder where he could have possibly gotten that idea. now, i don't want to accuse wolf blitzer of going all single white female on me but these glasses, they're kind of my thing. so last week, snoop wolf filled in for me here on "360" and guest hosted the "ridiculist" and i think he made some fair points. >> when two undeniably hunk-tastic men work together, a rivalry is inevitably going to arise. >> i ask you, is there anything better than hearing wolf blitzer say the word hunk-tastic on friday night? the answer is yes, there is something much, much better. pour yourself a cocktail, dim the lights, sit back and behold. >> the pussy willows blowing in the wind on the lake of shore titekaka are almost as magical as uranus. >> what? i leave for one night and you have this poor man doing this? the guy used to be a white house correspondent, for goodness sakes. i would explain the context of that but frankly, i have no idea what the context was. i actually prefer for it to co

mr. chairman, thanks very much for coming in. >> thanks, wolf.nks for having me. >> based on what you have been told and all the information you have what you can share with our viewers here in the united states and around the world, first of all, who did this? who killed these four americans? >> the actual identity we're still working through the final details of exactly. i think we're getting close to being able to identify the group that is responsible for this. but it is -- it was clearly a well-coordinated attack that was specifically planned to do and accomplish what you saw unfortunately unfold in benghazi. >> was it an al qaeda-led or inspired operation? >> you can tell by the signature there in the -- for months we've seen al qaeda looking for western targets. that was all across northern africa. we have seen certain activities that certainly lead you to believe today that it is an al qaeda affiliated group. there are still some fuzzy details that i think we'll have resolved within the next few days to have a for sure and for certain. bu
