and they've reviewed the case with ms. brown we actually look at the names and i've met with ms. brown and informed her of the one being day one is getting out of jail but again, we can't get a person to come forward and be willing to testify. >> thank you, chief. >> well good evening once again happy holidays. you know who i am and i know what i'm going to say, of course, because i repeat might have. i believe in hardcore law enforcement. i live in the 20i7b9d it's not the only district that has problems but the street is constantly infested with crime it's gotten better as i said last month because i constantly talk law enforcement. i want to see more cops walking the beat and more undercover as well dallas, fort worth. i know it's not the only street pits crime infested but the district needs to be cleaned up. thank you very much for listening and thank you very much for doing all the police work in all the districts happy holiday >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> welcome commissioners. sorry for your loss. i guess he i'm going to talk about the bad kids to provide a diffe

so far as ms. brown goes as also we're lacking the witness or witnesses that could come forward and anybody who has information we'd appreciate it we have the list that ms. brown has given me to search for the suspects one it deceased and others are in custody and others occult of custody. we'd love to give you the closure by the but we need the testimony. update open crime in san francisco. it's been reported that crime is up it's up approximately 14 percent on a largely driven property crime. property crime is up 20 percent since the inception of the a b-109 and we're grasping left leg with the consequence of not having the repeat offenders that aren't able to accept an alternative strategy of incarnation the shootings are done and homicides are down thirty percent. and hopefully, we, carry that momentum into 2014. anybody that's shopping in san francisco we're passing out flyers we have posted off parking garage meters please keep our packages in the trunk of your car don't get so evenly tlarld with y

last year, we have toys for to the >> thank you, ms. brown. >> hi, commissioners i didn't mean to many many way shape or form it's wonderful how san francisco, california come together i blame the mayor more than anyone else. just kidding. as far as the metals of valueors i'm wondering what the commission actually approvals it's been vested by police department that's their process and metals that i think it the missing link. if i was a new commissioner coming in i would think the same thing waiting to award somebody for a heroic action that was determined by a supervisor and a waiting for somebody to foil they also do i don't know. maybe and they're given within 60 days there's not a lot of times for the commission to look at it i mean, it was coming in after it was awarded equally you'll have to address a potential issue if it is determined so. but stopping the process just i know changing a policy its been my experience that sometimes rush is better or a new commissioner comes on board and they sigh this is a mentoring thing. as far as the

if we don't have the support of the community and i feel so bad low ms. brown we don't have any video coming forward but the last 5 years we've getting better evidence people are coming forward and a lot of it is because we're doing things that are not routinelyly police things we want to claim the young folks before they go down the path. it's equally as impact full on victim's as it the suspects. you're just as likely to be a victim >> i'm glad i said that are you reminded me of the annoys things i said. i know i asked a little bit earlier those crimes are at a faster cliff clip it would be helpful to have a report of the urban solved homicides going back ten years by zip code only for a tool to recognize the collective impact of the trauma and loss particularly those that are urban solved we certainly understand the challenges but i think from a public safety prospective certainly community have been disproportionately effected by homicides and kindss we haven't closed so that information would be helpful cohesive >> commissioner caan. i second the commissio

ms. cantwell: i want to thank chairman reid, chairman baucus, senator brown, senator benz all for coming to the floor to talk about this important issue of tax extenders and why we need to get them done now. in washington, the state of washington, taxpayers are opening the morning's newspaper to find "the seattle times" editorial, congress should extend the sales tax deduction. "the seattle times" has been following this issue for years and knows that taxpayers are waiting to find out if we can continue to deduct our sales tax for more federal income tax obligation. being a state that doesn't have an income tax, we want parity with other states and we want to be able to deduct our sales tax in the form of those taxes from our federal tax be obligations, and every year millions of washingtonians have to wait to find out whether that particular tax provision is going to be extended. i want to make it permanent, and i hope that when we do tax reform, we will be able to do this. but in the meantime, we have got to give the certainty to the taxpayers in washington state that these important t
