i guess, mr. kelly, i would start with you. have been held yesterday in the new york market, with the snowstorm, what would you have done? would you have held it, postponed it? >> well, that is a decision really made by the national football league informed by public safety. i think looking at what happened yesterday and the storm's intensity through the day, it would have been a tough day to have pulled off the game. but we've got contingency plans in place and if we have to make a move, we have to make a move but our objective and the league's objective is to kick off the football february 2nd. >> any perspectives here? would you have recommended to the league or mr. goodell they postpone the game for a day based on yesterday's weather if it had been yesterday? >> fortunately, we don't have to make that decision. the league makes that decision. >> you might. >> we were prepared. i mean, i think if the people had been in town, the big problem was getting in town. most people will be in town at that point so you probably could

. -- thank you, mr. kelly. we have mr. dana who will speak on the audit on pages 3-17. hi. speaker: good evening, board members, president fewer, vice-president murase and guadalupe guerrero. sorry about that. i have invited leonard dana from the 12-13th district audit to give you the board, a short presentation pertaining to the sfusd 12/13 audit. in addition, mr. dana is able to answer any questions after his presentation. also present is the manager on the audit. nathan middleman. mr. dana? speaker: thank you for accommodating us. i have another time commitment item tonight. i won't take much of your time. but just to let you know we have completed the audit and submitted the audit to the state. just to let you know that all of the opinions are unqualified meaning they change the wording this year. now they are called unmodified opinions which means it's a clean opinion. everything is fairly stated and that goes for the financial statements, state compliance and federal compliance as well. we did not make any audit adjustments during the year or during the audit as well.

mr. kelly? >> madam vice-president, commissioners, i request the hearing be held today. they received the permit to construct the new structure without approval from the park commission, the arts commission. that's one of the crucial aspects of my proposal today. i was mislead that will phase 3 approval was an enhancement of the previous one, but in fact they got a permit to develop this site without proper authority. okay. any comments from the department? any public comment. if you wish to reschedule, we will. if you don't, we'll move on to the next item. >> the arts commission has at times modified the design. i think we should get their final approval and proceed with that. >> i agree with commissioner fung. i don't think there is any reason to hear until we review the final phase. >> move to continue to february 19th. >> okay. okay. thank you, mr. pacheco, call the roll please. >> we have a motion from commissioner fung to reschedule item 9. 13-076 for february 19th. >> i'm sorry. how does that work from a point of view? >> i think it's okay. there are items on the

here with his notes and according to the january 10th could he power points that gm kelly put total and harassing as mr. brooks mentioned we believe this program is good. when you take a look at you're looking for new customers cac is an abundance of new customers what could help and i'll san diego with mr. brooks it can underline our hetch hetchy budget if i look contracting the shell the cac program can help pay for those and you'll have them still available for the work on scheduling of power or the other items they do. there are ways to bring them in to cover the budget imperial operations and there's money through the c pa c we krnt u currently have are a program according to c pa c we could be going after the $9 million for efficients work right now. we could help to fund the programs because we're in tough wments the budget so to address those concerns couldn't be taken off the table. i need to direct our staff and figure out how it can help us address some of the agent orange problems how do we the city diverse from hetch hetchy which in drought years is going to be a problem if you diverse you

mr. kelly's point i've been here 4 years and know how hard the staff work and so long as people say we're not doing enough that should help us to keep working hard. i disagree receptor if you 11 gedz out of 15 people who didn't get a diploma is a very, very good thing thing and have a lot of receptionist. i was happy to get 11 people to get a job and not have to loaf san francisco. that's enough for me. any other commissioner? commissioner caen then we'll go ahead and move on the next item and a commissioner caen >> sorry for the next budget meeting i would like the following addressed: i would like to get a sense of the overall overtime their your projecting for next year and if you can compare w that with loose fiscal year over time i'd like a i'd appreciate it. secondly, we've worked very hard to get this budget looking the way it does and it's much more efficient we had line items, however, some of us talking with some people both staff and the commission would liquor to see the line items and i'm sure that's easily done that's how you arrived at the material here. so if we could have

. >> mr. kelly. >> there's a requirement we provide 2 percent of above park. we try to bones our environmental justice to reline the art money to be in alignment to, you know, our services. so in the past one of our commissioners were concerned about using our money for the buddha or the spider in front of city hall so we tried to align it to provide art money for community that we enact. that was something that we worked off lion at that time, at harrington worked with the director of the arts commission to come up with a mo u that reflected alignment with our community policy >> and the arts commission does an awful love of not only spending our money but other. >> who paid for the chris 41 at the field sculptures. >> not us. that was - >> it was a place to put they've taken stuff out of the museum. >> so it was transferred out to the amount. >> so why do we noetd need a joint meeting. >> we had all that time where people were coming. >> the next time we'll have a motion to refer it to the 0 arts commission so as a volunteer this is getting tedious. >> i wou

there was an audit when mr. kelly was director and both of those looked at the street light lighting responsibility to the department of public works. it could help because public works has most of the elements and the thing that hangs up is to get a lighting component done it's a different agency. so pg&e i'm public works is much better since the capital planning and it's much likelyer we'll get a good capital plan. you have to also look at combfrns but all those ideas of bringing those other city control to create good level of pedestrian street latin-american is important >> ms. schneider. >> thank you to pg&e and puc for your presentation. i'm nicole sxhird i appreciate the opportunity to address street lights. supervisor weiner you talked about evangelical around pedestrian safety when we don't have lights on our sidewalks it's hard for people to see. it helps or sidewalk lighting helps to mitigate violence on our street and he helps our angling population preventing trips and a hazards just to make our sidewalks

supervisor scott weiner: thank you, mr. kelly. why don't i call the next batch. david cramey, craig, maryann, marlene butler, mira spencer, kathleen silver, shang, martha, tony i do, kathy fong, gary wise and mike diner. go ahead. >> thank you for this very long hearing supervisors. i'm tony kelly on the board of the portillo neighborhood association. they came a year ago and said they are not going to put these boxes in. i need to tell you what happened at one of these box walks. right in front of a fire station and across the street from a full block of vacant public land at the puc. at&t representative said, well, we could consider putting the box inside the fire station or on the block of the public land at the puc but we don't have a response back. do you know who you talked to as these agencies? i said no. it really won't be a big deal anyway because we want it to be on the sidewalk which is more convenient. all of a sudden this standard changed to is there another site to what is more convenient and better for at&t. that is a very different standard from a

i have respect, mrs. kelly for the work you do and you're trying your best and i have respect for the chief and what she's doing. i moved to the city 18 years ago to work for group that created the lawsuit. there's a perception and a reality in the numbers that this is still a problem. and the fact of the matter is, it doesn't allow us to have direct affirmative programs race is a protected class. we had to cough up $40 million based on a program they're recommending that needs to be revamp. i want to make sure we're doing all we can to limit our legal liability as well as make sure we do have the fire department up and down looks like san francisco. but i want to again, i know you are trying your best, so i want to say that publicly. >> supervisor tang has something to say. >> thank you director cohen and my question will help you into your next segment. speaking to supervisor chiu original point. i believe recruitment is important and it impacts what happens in terms of promotions so is i'm excited our city i

mr. kelly: i thank the gentlelady. madam speaker, this is appalling we are even at this point and talking about this -- providing health care for women. i'm really -- i'm shocked. if we're not providing the best possible medical health for expecting mothers and their unborn child, that's not the issue. this country has always been the champion of life around the world, protecting human rights. we've always showed up at every single encounter when people were being treated in a way that we thought was not right. we rail about syria and the fact they're losing their citizens, assad is killing their citizens. since 1963 we have aborted 56 million unborn children, 56 million unborn children. and today we're having a discussion on h.r. 7, where the only thing the american taxpayers are saying, we know by law a woman can make that choice, but we also know that taxpayers don't want to fund it. it is appalling that we have to have this type of a discussion in the united states of america when you know how we feel in our hearts

i'd like to thank mr. kelly for his comments and his support for what i think is a very practical, commonsense bill that deals with an issue that we need to address and i think it's very encouraging to see us come together in a bipartisan deal with this issue in a very commonsense approach. with that i have no further speakers and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan yields back. the gentleman from ohio. mr. latta: mr. speaker, it appears that we have no further speakers on our side and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio yields back. mr. latta: mr. speaker, i ask for the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: the question is will the house suspend the rules and agree to house res. lose 724. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. -- house resolution 724. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 of those voting having responded in the affirmative -- the gentleman from ohio

. >> mr. kellyuld you give us a breakdown of how the company is doing in terms of revenue per and greg and what the costs are that you are facing -- breakdown with the costs are that you are facing? >> revenue per available seat mile and 2013 was a record. we were up 3.8% for the year. or 3.8% for the fourth quarter. 1.8% for the year. we had some ups and downs in the economy and 2013 -- in 2013 and to have that kind of performance, i was very pleased. hopefully we will see a continuation of that revenue stream in 2014. a lot of that depends on the economy. by now the outlook is pretty positive. on the cost side, the main culprit is fuel. for the first time in a long time, we have seen fuel prices moderate. that is our expectation for 2014 as well. we have other cost pressures we are working hard on and our employees did a great job controlling our costs in 2013. >> you said recently at a conference that you are determined not to let cost force you to shrink your airline, that you are determined to

i now recognize mrs. kelly. >> thank you.ur questions have changed over and over listen to all my colleagues. i fall right into that stereotype. it was scary to me. you hit the now on the head in terms of access. i represent the chicagoland area . most of my district is suburban and rural. they are shaky. to bring updated computers to the high schools and elementary schools so they can have something to work on. is were i see government mean the safety net. if we do not do something about that, it will never be fair and equitable. i came in april in the s.t.e.m. council and academy. in differenteople people with community colleges to see what we could do as far as changing the curriculum and what jobs are out there. then i go to different areas in i have been meet different people. we service 750,000 people. if i go to one school and then another school you coming back next saturday? we are trying to get our businesses involved so they have some steadiness or some constant in their life to keep them interested. is even though

you know bridget anne kelly, mr. stepien who some believe must have been playing a leadership role. what do you think happened? >> i don't know what happened but i trust the governor's word. when he says he doesn't know, this is a former u.s. attorney who indicted over 100 politicians, the last guy who is going to lie to the cameras, in my opinion, is governor chris christie. >> is this the kind of thing that happens in this state? i don't mean to be prejudice. i live in philadelphia so i'm sorry i have some bias. is this the kind of thing that will happen in your state, that somebody closes off lanes because somebody didn't endorse somebody? >> i've never heard anything like that but i hope not. this governor had to be very tough to do the historic reforms that, in my judgment, were not going to happen. he has to be tough. for political purposes, assume that happened. >> do you agree with other supporters of chris christie, that if there's any evidence that comes out -- i know you don't think there is. but if any evidence comes out, that he ordered this or even was aware of it, his

our investigation is going to go to people like bridget kelly, like mr. stepien in a very methodical and strategic approach and see -- we all know there was an abuse of power. but what was the root of the abuse of power and how deep did it go. >> are you going to subpoena them all this week? >> we are interviewing outside counsel right now. yes not -- the state of new jersey is 120 legislators on a very small budget for our legislative staffs. so we are interviewing outside counsel right now. we hope to make an announcement tomorrow. we believe, and as a lawyer i would say there needs to be a very methodical and systematic approach there will be further subpoenas there is going to be further hearings. but we're going to work directly with outside counsel to see what that procedure should be, what order it should take to be done in a fair way, a fair process. >> let's go to alex wagner, my colleague. it seems to me all great dramas involve personalities. faces we begin to recognize and know well. certainly bridget kelly is now one. fingered by the governor

>> are reports that despite being fired and denounced by christie, bridget kelly is still loyal to him. quote, even now after mr's denunciation of her, friends of ms. kelly said she sounded as devoted to him as ever. her unrequited loyalty is not wavering, a friend said. >> well, quan, you find this in washington a lot as well. you have a situation where staffers' entire jobs revolve around the principle. and even when they have to fall on their sword, a lot of them remain completely loyal on the assumption that they're serving the greater good, or that it will come back one day and they will be rewarded for their loyalty. >> now, you know, when you look at the players here, there is a lot of players beyond bridget kelly embroiled in this mess. you have christie's chief of staff, kevin dowd, and chief council charlie mckinnon questioned bridget kelly before she was fired. then there is christie's press secretary. what did he know over at port authority, two executives have already been implicated in the bridge incidents, bill baroni and david wildstein, christie's campaign manager bill stepien corresponded with

kelly worked long hours for the christie effort in bergen county. afterwards, many political operatives voiced surprise when mroted ms. kelly. can you tell us what you know about bridget kelly? >> i think part of that rise and why it was so stunning was all due to bill stepien. he was the whiz kid who ran the campaign successfully, impressing a lot of people not just in new jersey, but nationwide. in that first campaign when she ran that phone bank in bergen county, a very democratic community, very democratic place. she did very well, you know, bergen county came out almost half and half between corzine and governor christie. you know, that was enough for bill stepien i think to push her up the ranks as sort of a protege of his. and that's why she landed where she did. >> now, assemblyman, today on msnbc, the former governor of pennsylvania, governor ed rendell said he doubts kelly acted on her own. watch this. >> i was a very hands-on governor like governor christie. my deputy chief of staff, whose desk was 25 feet from mine, would never have done something like this without my clearance, without asking me f

this morning the bergen record published emails between bridgett ann kelly and mr. wildstein who ordered the lanes closed. the campaign manager were copied on other emails after the lanes was re-opened. back in august a month before the bridge closure, christie's deputy chief of staff emailed mr. wildstein quote, time for some traffic problems in fort lee. he wrote back. got it. today new jersey democrats said the case might call for criminal charges or federal investigation. but the assemblyman investigating said the documents do make one thing clear. >> they call into serious question the honesty of this governor and his staff. as a result of what has been revealed today this governor has a lot of explaining to do. so many questions remain unanswered. >> governor christie cancelled an event scheduled for this morning and late this afternoon put out this statement. quote, what i've seen today for the first time is unacceptable. i am outraged and deeply saddened to learn that not only was i misled by a member of my stambgs but this completely inappropriate and unsan

kelly: thank you, mr. speaker. on saturday, a gunman walked into a mall in columbia, maryland, and opened fire killing two people before taking his own life. prior to the mall shooting, we saw six school shootings take place nationwide in just 10 days. countless other americans are terrorized each day on streets where kids are unsafe to walk to school or go to the corner store or sit on their front porches, and yet we do nothing. time and time again, despite the headlines and the bloodshed and the pleas from the parents of the victims to act, congress has failed to pass commonsense gun reforms that would save thousands of american lives, including background checks, hich are supported by 90% of americans. somehow in the years between columbine and newtown we have developed a collective indifference to the killings. after each shooting, we are in disbelief but then we shrug and move on, dismissing the mass shootings as isolated incidents and ignoring the everyday shootings altogether. sadly, a calous has formed wher

mrs. linda marie macdonald >>> i'm mark kelly live in the berkeley hills, where a red flag warning is in effecthis morning. coming up, what makes these conditions so unique. >> fire danger running high but the temperatures going to set records all around the bay area today. we'll have more on that coming up. >> and we have a new problem now in menlo park. it's a couple of stalled big rigs blocking an off-ramp from 101. i'll have all the details coming up. >> reporter: and google makes a push into the physical world with the purchase of nest, the makers of the digital thermostats. i'm kiet do with a live report coming up. >> good morning, it's tuesday, january 14. i'm michelle griego. >> hi, everyone. i'm frank mallicoat. it's 5:30. >>> a rare red flag warning all in effect this morning. >> let's get right over to meteorologist lawrence karnow who is tracking the dry conditions in the weather center. >> yeah. usually we don't have to worry are red flag warnings this time of the year but this year we are 8" below average on rainfall in san francisco and red flag warnings are up, mountains very dr

mr. stepien, of course, bridget anne kelly, who is going to be quite names now. here is christie announcing his top deputy bridget kelly lied to him about her involvement in this matter and would have to go. she is the chief deputy the -- deputy chief of staff. that's her title. and she wrote "the time for traffic problems in ft. lee has arrived" in her e-mail. here she is. >> there is no justification for ever lying to a governor or a person in authority in this government. and as a result, i've terminated bridget's employment immediately this morning. >> well, he never talked to her and didn't tell her to her face he was doing it. he didn't have any conversation apparently subsequent to this news story. then comes the heartbreak and betrayal. here he talks about that. >> i am heartbroken that someone who i permitted to be in that circle of trust for the last five years betrayed my trust. >> well, finally christie said he was completely astonished at what his staff and appointees had been doing. >> let me tell you, everybody, i was blindsided yesterday morning.

bridget kelly is clearly, as is mr.was would be happy to have them come before the committee and share their insight. >> do you expect the subpoenas will work their way up the pyramid, starting with the lower ranking people, moving towards the center of power? >> lawrence, i think that's exactly right. again, i think we're going to take our advice from our council, but i think where we want to go is based on the documents we've received already, the people that have been identified and use that as a kind of jigsaw puzzle to start to identify and clarify this picture. with the redactions, that picture right now is unclear. we've asked for complete clean copies of those documents which may obviously give us a chris call clear picture. i think as that starts to come in, it will identify really a road map again to where this abuse of power began, how deep it goes and whether or not it goes all the way up directly to the governor itself. our position is we will follow the evidence wherever it goes. and however high that goes

kelly o'donnell caught up with mr. a couple moments ago and this is what he said. >> it was harsh. >> yeah, it shouldn't have happened. the bottom line is, i lost my cool and it shouldn't have had. but that's why, you know, i apologized. i'm not going to answer any more questions. i answered your questions, so please be respectful to me. >> to the ethical issues, will you give a more full statement about where that stands? >> i think i've done that for the last two years. >> congressman, what's your response? what do you say about michael grimm? >> a lot of us may have thought that many times. >> don't walk away, congressman. >> felt annoyed, felt embarrassed, back against the wall that you don't have an adequate answer, felt ill-prepared and felt embarrassed and responded in an unprofessional way. and this is not what happens. when you disagree with those people, they have a job to do. they're supposed to ask the hard questions. and like truman said, if the kitchen's too hot, get the heck on out of it. >> congressman

that'shy when it comes to clean, there's only one mr. [ bird screeches ] >> live from america's news headquarters i am kellyt. the obama administration is dealing with another delay in the a i fordable care act known as obamacare. one stops them from getting better health benefits top executives than other employees. they will not enforce that provision. the latest response from the irs the agency saying the delay is not new information. the seattle seahawks will meet the denver broncos in if the 48 super bowl. it's in two weeks at met life stadium in new jersey. scoring 10 points in the 4th quarter edging the 49ers 23-17 to win the nfc brown and broncos scoring early against the patriots early odds the seahawks and broncos even. em kelly wright now back to "huckabee. future. >> the husband and father of a brain dead woman in texas is suing the hospital to stop treatment. he found his wife unconscious at home in november and 14 weeks pregnant. she's been on life support in fort worth where doctors are monitoring the condition of the unborn baby. eric said in the past and he agreed not to seek life support i

mr. malamud received his mba degree from indiana university kelly school of business. welcome you all. and mr.-- our first witness will be mr. nimmer. it's good to have of all of you with us. lady and gentlemen, if you could confine your statements to on or about five minutes. there's a panel on your desk. when the from the turns to amber, clock begins ticking. you're coming up upon five minutes which will appear when the red light illuminates. and we try to apply the five minute rule to ourselves as well. so during questioning if you could be as courteous as possible, that would be appreciative. mr. nimmer, if you will kick ball, good to have all of you with us. >> thank you so much, mr. chairman. and thank you to all the members of the committee for the invitation to testify this morning. we gather to consider the scope of the rights that belong to copyright owners. one of those rights is public distribution. the question today is how to prove violation of that distribution right. specifically, does the act of placing a digital file containing a copyrighted work into a file-sharing fo

mr. wildstein frustrated our efforts by taking the fifth amendment some 20 times. >> now you expect to subpoena miss kelly. there's the e-mail that she talked about. can you get her e-mails? can you get her cell phone records? do you intend to try to subpoena the governor's e-mail and cell phone records and this sort of thing? >> we're going to take this one step at a time. the trail has led us to bridget kelly, to regina, charlie mckenna, the current chief of staff who's up for attorney general nomination. we need to talk to all of those individuals about what they knew and when they knew it. >> what if they take the fifth? >> they may. but we also need to ask for their e-mails, their personal and governmental e-mails. we need to look at those documents. we got to where we are by taking a step-by-step methodical approach. we'll continue that. clearly for the governor to say i knew nothing from when this started in august all the way through september 13th is just not -- till january 9th, rather, is just not believable, especially when you look at the e-mails before bridget kelly's order. on august 5th th

kelly is one. there is mention of mr. steppian.is also mention of michael druniak as well, who is the governor's press release go-to guy who is spoken of throughout the e-mails as well. so for the time being, those are the individuals that we're looking at. but pending on being able to get more documents, especially unredacted documents is very possible that the committee may issue a subpoena to the governor. in his conference today, he did say that he wants to hold the folks accountable. and those folks are coming out of his inner circle in the governor's office. >> well, margie, with that it seems the governor today wanted to end this. it seems as though after hearing the assembly woman, this is far from over. >> yeah. i mean, he gave his staff an hour to look into this before, before the last couple of days. but it's clear that he didn't really want to know the answer. so whether he was involved or he didn't want to know the answer, he waited until it really blew up and he had no choice but to deal with it, and then talks about
