new york new jersey, few states. by and large under federal law we do not have a registry. >> in the book that you collected it so they "reducing gun violence in america," you announced there were 31,000 gun deaths last year in the united states. how does that break down between suicide homicide by its >> rate. roughly 11000 of those deaths are from homicides. approximately 19,000 are suicide in the remainder being mostly accidental types of shootings. >> professor webster come your forward is done by michael bloomberg. is this an anti-gun book? >> no, not at all actually. this book was written for the purpose as the title indicates to inform policy making. we actually have a child there on the second amendment in interpreting the second amendment. we are pretty clear the supreme court rollings you may not be in possession of guns within the home. the policies that are discussed in this book and the evidence examined we do not focus on broadband to guns. we focus on a set of policies that are constitutional that by and large do not disarm people who would legally possess guns. >> what is one of the policies you advocate? >> well, first we went through the process of identifying the experts around the world to bring the best evidence together on key policy issues and then we held a symposium where they presented their evidence and then we had a meeting among those experts to determine what should we recommend based upon the evidence available. i would say top of the list is that we need a comprehensive background system that we probably lack of least of the federal level and in most states. we have what most of the experts agree to be a pretty logical system in which we say here is a set of conditions that would prohibit someone from possessing the guns. and we are required background checks for someone as going to purchase a firearm from a licensed gun dealer. but we do not require such a background check for record-keeping if you want to buy a gun from someone who's not a license dealer. it is hard to see the logic in that if the goal is to keep guns from dangerous people. so we examine some of the evidence relevant to that. and some of my own research i found very consistent evidence that in states that have the more comprehensive background check requirements to cover prior sales as well as those from licensed dealers, fewer guns being diverted to criminals and recent studies showing a there was a relationship also with when those policies are in place that there's fewer homicides as well. >> wended background checks start? >> so there are some states here for the state policy of federal policy. i'll talk about them separately. some states have background checks separately for many, many decades. almost a century in some cases. of course the record-keeping systems for what they are now but a general idea that you had to be investigated in a sense what your background was a law enforcement before you could legally purchase firearms. those laws were in place in new york, new jersey massachusetts and other states for many, many decades. at the federal level would've required background checks for federally licensed gun dealers beginning with the brady act in 1994 and that is really only a piece of federal legislation on background checks at this time. >> and somebody from new york city or chicago has more regulations when it comes to ownership from virginia and purchase a firearm? >> not legally, no. >> by not? >> the idea again is the state should have an ability to regulate viral arms. it's a matter of public safety. >> so you have to be a resident of the state you are living in and you have to purchase it in that state. is that correct? >> yes for handguns. a bordering state you can make a purchase, but for handguns you can only purchase within the state you reside. >> all right. so here in the washington area without he maryland, virginia. maryland and d.c. have much to gun laws than those state of virginia. so how does that work when we are

new jersey. just across the hudson river from new york. metlife opened its doors four years ago. jonathan tisch was instrumental in getting it built. it's the only stadium that houses two nfl teams -- giants and the jets. it's also the largest in terms of seating capacity. all of those seats came with a hefty price tag. >> this is an amazing building. it cost $1.6 billion to build. people say to us -- why is there no roof on it? that would have been another $400 million. it is important to note that there has been not a dime of public money in this building. it is all privately financed. it was quite a remarkable accomplishment. >> the stadium will be in the spotlight in early february when it plays host to the most-watched sporting event in the world -- the super bowl. >> super bowl is a great opportunity for this region, for new york and new jersey. this is a super bowl of a lot of firsts. this is the first time it is being hosted by two teams, the jets and the giants. the first time it is being hosted by two states and one big city. the first time the game is being played in a

jonathan: super bowl is a great opportunity for this region, for new york and new jersey.is a super bowl of a lot of firsts. this is the first time it is being hosted by two teams, the jets and the giants. the first time it is being hosted by two states and one big city. the first time the game is being played in a northern city in a building without a roof. betty: bringing the super bowl to the new york region has been a decade-long effort for tisch. it began after 9/11 when he began pitching the idea to nfl and local politicians as a way to jumpstart the stuttering economy. it was not until the metlife stadium was built in 2010 that idea caught on. jonathan: the nfl owners liked to bring the game to some of the newer stadiums to highlight them. they wanted the world to see this great facility. betty: millions of people around the world will be watching super bowl xlviii. perhaps no venue is better prepared or staffed for an event like this. 20 times a season, metlife undergoes a transformation. a staff of about 20 takes two days to change it from one team to the other --

pennsylvania, delaware and new jersey battled over their respective rights to use the delaware river, for example, while new york, new jersey and connecticut clashed over new york harbor. within days after virginia appointed the -- approved the mt. vernon compact, madison proposed that its legislature call a general meeting on commercial regulation with delegates from all 13 states. in response, 12 delegates from 5 states assembled in annapolis in september of 1789 including madison and, from new york, washington's former aide, alexander hamilton. even before they met, madison, hamilton and some other delegates feared that any convention limited to commercial issues could not resolve the problems facing america. only a thorough revision of the articles of confederation could achieve that. when the annapolis meeting failed to attract enough delegates and so could not achieve even its limited goals, hamilton proposed that those present simply call a second convention and go home. which is what they did. some already charged the meeting could have attracted more delegates and achieved more results if washington had

new york or new jersey. by and large under federal law we do not have a registry. >> host: in the book you coedited reducing gun violence in america you report there were 31,000 gun deaths each year how does that break down between suicide and homicide? >> roughly 11,000 are from homicide approximately 90,000 are suicide and the remainder is mostly accidental types. >> host: professor western -- webster is this an anti-gun book? >> not of all-purpose it was written with the purpose as the title indicates to inform policy. and to have a chapter on the second amendment wary are pretty clear the supreme court rulings that you may not ban or possess guns in the home in the policies that are discussed in this book we do not focus on a broad band of guns but a set of policies that our constitutional that do not disarm from people who could legally possess guns. >> host: what policy deal advocate? >> we went through a process to identify the experts around the world to bring the best evidence on key policy issues. then we held a symposium on than we had a meeting with the experts to determine what should we recommend based on the evidence available? top of the list we need a comprehensive background check system that we currently lack at the federal level and in most states. so with the ecological system that would prohibit someone come in and require background checks the someone purges is a fire arm -- purchases a fire arm but we don't have record-keeping to buy a gun from someone who was not a licensed dealer. it is hard to see the logic of the goal is to keep guns from dangerous people. some libyan didn't some of that evidence relevant to that so with my own research i found very consistent evidence those that cover private sales there are fewer guns diverted to criminals in studies are showing there is a relationship when the policies are in place there are fewer homicides as well. >> host: win to the background checks start? >> there are some states policy in federal policy. some have had background check requirements for many decades. will most a century. of course, the record-keeping systems are not what they are now but the general idea you had to be investigated by law enforcement before f you could legally purchase firearms. but at the federal level we required background checks for all federally licensed gun dealers beginning with the brady act in 1994. that is the only piece of federal legislation at this time. >> host: from someone from the eric city have more regulation with gun ownership than virginia become in purchase a firearm? >> not legally. the idea at the station have the ability to regulate firearms it is public safety >> you have to be a resident of the state that you lived in and purchases in that state? >> for handguns yes. for long guns in the bordering state economic of purchase but for the handgun you can only purchase within the state that you reside. >> host: here in the washington area their land and d.c. have stricter gun laws in the state of virginia. how does that work? >> again you cannot go to the different states but we do see a pattern within this area regionally but off you can see more broadly across the united states. with less comprehensive measures for accountability measures like background checks if there is no accountability measures you can make a lot of money on the market and when states have you were measures they don't have appropriate regulation and oversight of the dealers use the common trafficking channels from those that have a weaker laws into places that have stronger laws. that is something clearly we could best addressed by federal legislation however we still have found in my own research that the states that to adopt the stronger policies to gain the benefit from that even though some dozens come across the border, the reasoning is there is a cost to interstate trafficking and it turns out most criminals are reluctant to purchase guns in they stick with people they know and trust in did they get a sense from faraway they are reluctant so the cost and risk associated with that those that have more comprehensive regulations designed principally to keep them out of the hands of prohibited individuals. >> host: should fewer people be allowed to legally purchase guns? >> this gets to the critical question that is rarely discussed in any intelligent way as most discussions assume you have one category of hardened criminals then another category would never do anything wrong with the world is messier. the way most gun laws have been written in the united states, we allow a lot of individuals to legally purchase and possess guns. not only that, in most states actually allow them to legally carry concealed guns in public. we show there is a relationship between higher standards for go up -- again ownership plan generally the target groups with the standards are increased dealing with domestic violence prohibition or misdemeanor crimes of violence, we see lower levels for the high risk groups. >> host: what is your view of the end are a? >> guest: it is less interested in public safety and more interested in a particular ideology. i think unfortunately they sell themselves as a group principally looking now for the interest of gun owners but if you look at their practices, they are more in line with a gun sellers. one of the things we did in the book is a national survey to take the pulse of the nation about a pretty rare broad range of gun policies over 30 specific policies we asked their support proposition. and we over sampled the gun owners it is hard to get anything done on the issue if you have stiff opposition from gun owners. what we found is almost every policy that we examine , gun owners supported a fairly large majority and even nra members supported those measures. more often than they and not those policies that gun owners for for our very much out of step with the nra line gore policy agenda. so i think they have not truly represented gun owners in what they want to. they do value the second amendment rights but they also value public safety. data when dangerous people to get guns. they're perfectly fine with many measures to achieve the goal. too often in the nra has muddied the waters of what the question on the table is should we have comprehensive background checks? it changed the subject to retake the way everybody's guns? that is not the question. people will say no but that is not the policies there designed to identify those that had the highest risk for committing violence into in some cases only temporarily like restraining orders for a misdemeanor conviction for violent crime. many times those are short-term provisions with the individual gets the opportunity to demonstrate they can live crime free to regain there right to to possess a gun so many measures gore recommendations are one better not controversial people think of gun-control says very controversial topic but our data suggest most measures that are discussed are not controversial because guess what? the vast majority agree including no statistical difference between democrats or republicans saw it is not a matter of one party just in terms of constituents but the elected official is a different question. but the people themselves corot's measures to keep the guns out no differences by political party or by gun. we try to focus on the available evidence in the case for what is effective, what is legal in what to the american people want? we think there are common-sense evidence based solutions better legal and perfectly acceptable and not controversial that could be adopted right now. >> host: what is your position at johns hopkins? to become professor of health policy and management also directs the center for gun policy and a deputy director for research at the center for youth violence i have been there almost 24 years now on the faculty devoting my time to studying violence in ways to prevent it. >> host: how did you get interested? >> and i was a doctoral student at johns hopkins in the late '80s i came there not to study violence but other issues to prevent injuries broadly and looking for something that seemed to be important to public health. at that time our country was in the midst of a real epidemic of gun violence mostly involve being used and in baltimore it was acute with nearly 400 murders one year i did my doctoral studies. it was apparent this was the issue as a leading killer of many groups and a reason why we have a huge disparity of longevity based on race and where they happen to live on the homicide level is devastating many communities but on the suicide part it is largely of white males in very preventable as well. that is how i got interested in it was around me on the campus i am much happier to say there much lower levels now around the country as the homicide rates are 50 percent of what they were at the peak time during my doctoral studies. >> host: why is that? >> that is something researchers have been wrestling with. there is no one factor just like no one determinant of violence. many people believe and results included had to do with changes of the drug markets. generally speaking violence increases substantially with there is a great deal of instability in the drug market in those are only worked out through violence. some of that had to do with changes in the drug market i think there were others that were important as we did start to use much more evidence based practices that focus specifically on degreasing illegal position for high-risk individuals and they became far more common in used to good effect. certainly there are changes in social norms and data indicates the generation before was far more affected by lead poisoning when they were young in many earvin areas. not only with old housing with lead paint in the home that would poison the children at a critical point in their development that affects verbal i.q. and their impulse research so through environmental policies that we adopted to get lead out of gasoline and paint, think believe we have far fewer urban children affected by this problem and that may also contribute to much lower rates of violence a of use today than a generation ago. >> host: white you describe gun violence as a public health issue? >> guest: on the face of it the first response is simply has an enormous impact on mortality for certain groups it is a leading cause of death for young males. but more important but it is one thing to say a lot of people die as a result of guns. that is obvious that what is public health offer? my response is we offer in orientation even more of the criminal evaluation with the culture many people view violence in terms of individuals. there are bad people and the problem rests with in those individuals. liz character flaws that lead them to be violent. certainly there is an element of truth but it is far more complex. a public health examination realizes how people behave depends on environment in which they live if it is ubiquitous that will affect the outcome of violence and that is what research shows compared to other high-income countries it is almost any measure of violent behavior to bully in schools and adolescent fighting measures or other risk factors for violence like substance abuse or severe mental illness. where average compared to other high income countries but the homicide rate is roughly seven times higher than average of a western democracy. that is largely explained because our violence is more lethal. looking at our homicide rate other than firearms we hear in the middle. the united states is not inherently a violent nature or culture looking and other measures that we are a nation with far more lethal violence that is largely explained by the fact we have pretty inadequate measures to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. >> host: who is your co-editor? >> he is a longtime colleague of the public health background working with my colleagues for more than 20 years. we have teamed up on a number of studies to look at the effect of gun policies. he is an expert to know everything is to know about federal gun policies and he is a great colleague to work with contributing an important chapter of ways to regulate licensed gun dealers in the impact of criminals in the short answer there is a strong correlation with dealers to have far fewer guns they get into the hands of criminals. >> host: who was this book written for? >> two types of people and one was policy makers. i actually got a call from the president of johns hopkins after the new town shooting. he had an idea of doing precisely what we did that was brilliant based on experiences he had. like 9/11, katrina in those events that gripped the nation decisions that policy makers are faced with. and he had great success to bring people together to do this quickly to give a scholarship into the hands of policymakers. . .

new york, new jersey, we have to start with the one-on-one conversations and the reality is that there are petter people who are messengers in the community. we can't have the fly in pilot helicopter type of people who say believe in these policies and come fight with us. it has to be from the parents and from the community, but it takes the trusted relationships, it takes time and it takes real support. >> looking at the charter sector, what are some examples of great grass roots activism? >> you have emily kim from success academies on a later panel. she and if families of her school rallied 20,000 community leaders and parents to walk to albany to ask to make sure that one of the schools that the mayor was trying to close would stay open. to me, that's a great example of an effort that started with one school, families for excellent schools assisted and brought the other leaders to the forefront. we have two leaders in the room today. darlene chambers from the ohio charter school association and mary car michael with the south carolina charter school association in the back. these two can probably tell you more about what they're doing but one of the things that you notice when you get to a lot of these communities is the sense of learned helplessness. a lot of people have come to these communities to offer hope. and they have left. and that's often quite frankly an unfortunately what happens with school district leaders who go in with a lot of hope. they may have the school board's support at the time. when they're in office, they offer hope, create a safe community, but unfortunately the average tenure of an inner city district superintendent is less than three years, so when they leave, they take those ideas and the next person comes with new ideas, so i think understanding where they come from and making sure whatever infrastructure you have in place is going to stay there is important and one reason why charter schools or any form of choice trumps any systemic reform is because these schools are going to stay and families are choosing them. they're not beholden to them because they're assigned to those schools. >> you know, we often overlook the most obvious grass roots efforts. the waiting lists. parents are voting with their feet. they are saying i don't want this school to which i am assigned. and so, some of the largest school systems in america are losing ten, 20, 30%, 40, 50% of their entire student population. there are no other cities, there's no other movement that's clearer than that. our school in hartford has 4,200 children on the waiting list. one school. 70 available seats. but because of a weak school board, because of a weak mayor and because of visionless leaders in the community, our school is not allow

new york and new jersey. the california commission on asian and pacific islanders voted in support of ab 96 and two members of the assembly man david chew and phil tang have both joined as coauthors of ab 96. this will put the county of san francisco on this important bill. colleagues, i ask for your support. we heard in committee from the amazing advocates who have been working very hard to call attention to what is happening in africa and elsewhere. this city in san francisco has always been a refuge for many kinds of people and also where we are passionate about the mistreatment of animals and for san francisco to be the leading market of a sale of a product that only comes into existence by killing elephant or killing a rhinoceros is unacceptable. so it is very important for san francisco and all cities to be firmly on record. i ask for your support. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, supervisor wiener, supervisor tang? >>supervisor katy tang: thank you, i want to echo supervisor wiener's comments and that can him for taking the lead on this. i know it is a resolution but that strong message that san francisco is taking the stand and addressing that this trade should not be happening. so i really want to thank supervisor wiener. he and i are again speaking up for animals again and i hope this passes at the state level. i want to thank speaker atkins and senator lara for being bold in this policy. i was telling supervisor wiener for making mistakes and looking at photos for situation where this happens it's completely devastating and we hope that san francisco leads the way and conveys a strong message as well. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, supervisor kim ? >>supervisor jane kim: thank you. i would like to ask to have my name added as a cosponsor. i thanks those that educated us on this issue when we 1st got e-mails in our office back in february i wasn't aware of how serious this issue was and also as california is a geographically an area where a lot of ivory is traded. i learned a lot about this policy and our campaign manager got involved in this issue and i really appreciate the work that the residents have done to bring this initiative an aboard. i'm happy to support this and support it's passage at the state level. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, colleagues can we take this same house same call, this motion is adopted. city clerk: item 8. planning code comes date definitions reorganize article 2 and make other non-substantive changes to update, clarify and simplify code language. >>supervisor london breed: colleagues can we take this same house same call. this item is approved. next item. cl esh cl eric appropriation water enterprise fund balance for the clean up of contamination soil at lake merced. adopting findings in the california environmental equality act and other findings as well. >>supervisor london breed: same house same call. without objection this ordinance is passed on the first reading. madam clerk, next item. city clerk: item 10 contract agreement state department of public health care services substance use disorder services with the state department of health care services for a term of july 1, 2014, through june 30, 3017, and to authorize the county alcohol drug at ad strar to approve future amendments for less than 10 percent of the contracted amount which is approximately $33.25 million. >>supervisor london breed: same house same call. this item is adopted unanimously. next item. city clerk: item 11. real property lease amendment sf foc van ness avenue. >>supervisor london breed: same house same call. this item passes unanimously. next item. city clerk: item 126789 accept and expend grant san francisco city hall preservation fund. >>supervisor london breed: same house same call. this item is adopted unanimously. next item. city clerk: item 136789 accept and expend grant hiv transmission cluster analysis to inform prevention for the period of july 2014 through june 2015. >>supervisor london breed: same house same call. this resolution is adopted unanimously. next item. city clerk: item 14. planning code office conversion controls in landmark buildings. to require the project seeking office space in landmark buildings within this district to obtain other conditional use authorization. >>supervisor london breed: supervisor cohen? >> >>supervisor malia cohen: this is unanimously passed by the board of supervisors last year around a proposal designated around to henry adams, an historic building. in that particular case the project sponsor was going to conduct a building of long-term permits terments. during the review of the proposal i asked the planning department to look at similar buildings in the area that might qualify for a similar conversion. the planning department determined there are approximately 14 other buildings in the pdr 1b and 1g zoning districts that could be eligible for a landmark designation and office conversion. prior to the control passed last year, these buildings were allowed to include office space if left unchanged this provision could cause a loss of nearly 1 million square feet of pdr space. interim controls we passed last year and before you today tlimentd -- limited the amount of office by establishing new floor controls. these floor controls will only allow a portion of the building to be used for office and will previous pdr space. this ordinance requires a conditional use permit for the conversion, submissions of an historic structures report to the historic preservations commission detailing the physical improvements needing to the building and their estimated cost. it also requires that the planning commission to consider the historic structure report, the economic need of the building and the compatibility of office space with pdr tennants, any potential impacts around the surrounding neighborhoods and relocating tennants when they are considering projects they want to convert. this was supported unanimously by the commission and both of these bodies recognize the need to balance our historic buildings but not at the expense of our important pdr space.

we'll get right to the breaking news. 3-year-old elinor trotta was taken last night in new castle county. her father could be taking her to new jersey or new york city. in the last hour and a half that search has now expanded to ohio. and now nbc 10's matt delucia is live in new castle with details. matt do we know why police are headed to ohio? >> reporter: at this point they are still working on those details, but i can tell you earlier this morning new castle police found a car they believed to be the one that the father and daughter were traveling in. but that car was found right here a half mile away from the scene of this crime. so, of course, those two have not been found. and at this point, we do have that new car that they are searching for. this has been changing throughout the morning. new castle county police tell me they are now looking for a bright red-colored suv, possibly a ford explorer. and the father was last seen in mount laurel, new jersey. we have some photos here michael trotta is described as being 5'8" 160 pounds in all black clothing. he's 43 years old. and his daughter 3-year-old elinor trotta was taken after an attac

new york-new jersey. this platform is now being used and made available to the private sector as well as government. the infrastructure is placed under a governmental instrumentality. my concern is security of this platform, and the ability of the private sector and government to be able to use this powerful piece as we grow and expand our economy. is there any benefit in moving this infrastructure out from central government control or private sector control under the national guard in terms of providing more and effective security of the system, or do you provide a service to secure it as it is notwithstanding who its owners are? that is my first question. i would like to get some direction on that. >> it's going to be a bit complicated, i think. first, anything on u.s. territory actually falls under the department of homeland security. we are in support of the department of homeland security. how this works with the national guard this is what i was talking about with best practices where they have worked it out in the state in the way that they could assist. there is some merit there. my personal belief is 85% of the networks are privately owned and i think it should remain that way. that is the nature of our system. the question is, how do we better secure it? i think there are a couple ways to approach that. i would have to look at this in a lot more detail the way you describe that, but there are ways to do this. we would first turn to homeland security. they have the lead on .gov and support to .com, and then we assist as necessary. >> the general is correct. it's a complicated question. we would have to study this, and we will take that for evaluation. >> i will follow up with your office to get that done. it's fairly new, and it's branching out. we want to make sure it's very very secure. i want to join with the governor of puerto rico and the chairman in their concern about funding for dhs. the virgin islands, and just for your acknowledgment, and we will follow up with the nj with this -- the virgin islands is in proximity to the british virgin islands which is in close proximity to a number of caribbean islands going down the chain. we have a tremendous issue with human trafficking through the u.s. virgin islands, particularly in the evening. in some instances, where the island of st. john is located -- i'm not exaggerating -- you can literally cross from one country to the next on an inner tube. our local police department have picked up koreans, asians, folks from europe, chinese coming through there in the evening. they come right into st. mark or antigua and make their way up to the u.s. virgin islands. we contacted dhs to see what assets were available to intercept some of this human trafficki

new york city area during the rush hour. which will make travel next to impossible. so that's 11:00 p.m. tonight, you see the snow working in to new jersey, long island new york, up towards connecticut. and massachusetts. but look at this right here. that pink area. that's freezing rain that's ice. accumulating on the roadways and the power lines. so mayor de blasio is going to give us a press conference and probably going to talk about the fact that we have an area of high risk for the new york city region not just because of snow, but because of the risk of ice. then an all-snow event for new england. in some cases over a foot for the areas that received over a foot last week. that's going to cause some major concerns obviously. there's one of our forecast models. i think this is keeping us honest here around five inches. however, the mixture of freezing rain or ice is going to cut back on the snow totals but it's going to make a very dangerous commute tomorrow morning. so be prepared across jersey up towards long island new york city connecticut, definitely places north of that. that's where we're going to get the snowfall amounts ove

new jersey. the amber alert has been in effect for delaware, new jersey and also ohio. police told us that they think trotta might be trying to get to new york where he has friends and family. we also have photos here michael trotta as described as 5'8", 150 pounds. wearing all black clothing. we also just got an updated age for him. he's 43 years old. and his daughter reportedly taken after an attack on her mother. this is 3-year-old elinor trotta believed to be in imminent danger. an intense search that took a turn when the car investigators were originally looking for was found near a residential area a half mile away from the scene of the crime. so again, this search continues for a new car and these two individuals, including that 3-year-old girl who is believed to be in danger at this hour. live in new castle matt delucia, "nbc 10 news." >>> and now at 5:45 we are live on the scene of a fire in kensington along north front street. we are told that it is a payless shoe store with apartments above. as you can see, heavy smoke. it just went to two alarms. it is near front and sawsondawson. the market line is bypassing the station line her

new york, new jersey. it is -- the public expense associated is significant. the third big issue which we will start dealing with over the next few days is going to be property damage as bruce start to collapse -- roofs start to collapse. is this apocalyptic for you? once we get past the snow, probably for us, i would basically put it in a slightly different way. we had one of the most successful and most vibrant and most forward-looking knowledge-based economies anywhere in the world. if you're in one of those spaces and you can play and that successfully the world is your oyster. if you are not it is a cold place in massachusetts these days. one of our challenges not just in massachusetts but they get back to your question, why did the numbers look so good to so many people, it is an anxious time for the better part of 4-5 years. they are running fast and working hard. they're having a hard time seeing where progress is going to come from. the price of food and housing, the price of energy, the price of health care. that one i do believe is tied directly to education and bills. we have got to figure out a way to do a better job. >> what are you going to do at the end of the school year with all of these days out for kids? are you going to have them make that up? when you think of americans kids versus chinese kids, we are sending our kids to school at much lower -- the volume of days . they are being educated more in china. the snow is one portion of this subject but this is a touchy because kohl's have been closed for so long. >> generally speaking, the performance of most kids in massachusetts, it is most, which brings me to another subject, on most national and international exams it is quite good. we can compete with pretty much anybody at the middle and upper end. our problem, it is a probably better fix, achievement gap which is an opportunity gap between the school systems and the school districts in the schools that are performing, and those that aren't as profound. that is something i really believe we had better focus on because in the long run if you don't get a great high school education through high school and beyond, your chances in this world in this economy are going to be severely limited. >> it just builds on each other as you get further into school. high school, college. the biggest economic challenge for pennsylvania? >> i agree with education. we have to build up the infrastructure and make sure the economy can function. the biggest problem is low self-esteem. i think one of the things the governor -- that is not a laugh line. >> you have to explain this to us. low self-esteem. why? >> i'm not saying this is a matter of confidence. i think one of the things that a good leader does, and as governors we have the ability to tell our potential and make sure we are not wasting away in part because we are not as good as we are. we are one of the underachieving states that can do better with the resources we have. we need to address not only the structural issues, but also the psychological issues to keep us and hold us back. low self-esteem is a big problem. >> that requires leadership in terms of making sure people have optimism and hope that they can get a better life. >> especially in pennsylvania. >> governor harper? >> the biggest challenge facing utah is the challenge we have had, the growing economy. how do we keep it growing in a fast-growing state? we are one of the third or fourth fastest-growing states. i take a page out of president bill clinton's book for he said it is the economies david. it really is. the number one focus of all of us. we know we cannot have long-term sustained economic growth unless we have a skilled labor force. it goes back to education and beyond high school diplomas, and high school needs. then it's the better alignment with what the skills we are teaching schools are in the demands of the marketplace are. you asked the question earlier about his responsibility is it to make sure that young people get a good education. is it public or private? it is a collaboration. part of that equation which we tiptoe around is it is the parents and guardians responsibility that their children get a good education. that is a component we overlook. we have too many parents in utah drop their children off that kindergarten, pick them up at high school graduation and a how was it? they need to be more involved to make sure they are getting their assignments done, that they are learning in school. that is an aspect we need to talk about to make sure the parent-teacher conferences are being helped and people are working together with how they will excel in the classroom. the challenge from me is to have great success. how can i continue to make sure that happens is going to be a requirement of a skilled labor force. >> what is an appropriate level? >> our gdp has grown 4.1%. twice the national average. our population is under 2% growth. we have a high birth rate. we are a young birth rate. i have a lot of kids in school. plus people are now moving to utah for great quality of life and economic opportunity. it is a conundrum as far as how do you accommodate that and still grow and have that expand? >> in parts of colorado and parts of the country, it is confidence. people double leave. it is not just their self-esteem but a big part of job creation is entrepreneurship. entrepreneurs generally put technology and health care aside, a lot of times a guy working for us and that accompany this one of the better workers there. he wants to start his own business. he thinks he can do a negotiated better contract, manage his workers better. if he doesn't feel the community supports him taking that risk, if he thinks there is too much red tape, if she feels there is not enough space for her entrepreneurial activities and they won't do it. over the last several years we have seen that. the number of startups have gone down significantly. you can tie it to a number of things. how supportive we are of entrepreneurs. the media is constant bombarding people with this negative impression of how this is broken, or that is broken. we go through these campaigns where the level of negative advertising is beyond what anyone could have imagined 20 years ago. people don't believe anymore. that is having a direct effect on our entrepreneurship. colorado is growing. we have tons of startups. we do believe. we have a funny way of infrastructure. we move rapidly and the planning that has gone on is not going to be sufficient. even if we had it we are too far behind. it is good policy to have. traffic jams congestion, we are one of work on this together. it is better than having empty streets. i think that sense of confidence is that this is going to be the key for the overall country. people forget governor clinton before he was president talked about the economy stupid. our recession started in 1984. he was running for president in 92. that recovery had some dips. these recoveries are difficult processes. part of that is getting accelerated have people believe to get confidence. >> i agree. the media plays an important part in terms of ensuring people understand the facts and what is going on. one of the reasons that people have not been feeling it is because their wages haven't moved. you have an environment where unemployment, they are not getting better but the average guy or gal has not seen a change in their salaries. >> absolutely. we just open shake shack. >> usually successful deal. >> the wait staff, the price of the menu goes up. they have gone up 250% less 25 years. wages have gone up a fraction. i think that pressure, you see that in every industry. >> that is true. >> the segue from that is why is that? there are two big reasons. businesses have more choices than they have ever before about where to locate and where to expand, and where to hire. >> and who to hire. we have to come to grips with the fact that we are not entitled to a job tomorrow just because the employer was in our state yesterday. this is not just a battle amongst us as governors. the battle is with employers around the globe. that is number one. number two, that are profound implications. we carry these computers in our pockets. the positive aspects of that, increases productivity, more wealth and opportunity. i'm sure we all have employers in our states who are producing twice as much as they produced 10 years ago employing half as many people. this revolution has big implications for the nature of what is the role of people in producing things. i think particularly given the fact that there are more choices than ever before, we need to understand what it is that they care most about when they are making that decision about where to invest and hire. then we have to act on it. to me, the biggest take away of all this is what everyone has talked about. it has to do with workforce and skills. the $28 billion overseas, i think it is not just about tax policy. even if the tax policy was equal they are going to have lots of great choices about where they can get a great workforce. we need to make sure every single day we are getting better because we know other countries are investing heavily in that. >> you make a great point. this issue is only going to get worse. right now as we sit here they are doing prostate cancer surgery robotically. they are doing health care checks of our bodies. we have sensors all over the place. machines talking to machines. that will mean fewer jobs. is everybody ready for that? obviously not. we don't have the skill sets. >> at the same time these technologies will create new jobs, the kind of jealous we never thought about before. >> absolutely. >> biggest economic chase -- choice you are facing? >> the honest answer is the one we don't know. who would have envisioned a down term the likes of the great recession a few years before it took place i would say there are challenges that we currently know that we are ignoring. climate change although we did talk about massachusetts or boston issue with snow, climate change is a gigantic challenge. my states on the eastern seaboard, maybe not in my lifetime that i hope and the like them of my children, i hope they get to the point where they will be as challenged by that as by seawater rising and the implications of greater disparity and whether. i think that is a gigantic problem. transportation infrastructure presents a global disadvantage. i think we have to address that. we go back to how we going to fund how we address that. income disparity and what we do or don't do about that, the story about the chef no

new york, new jersey. it is -- the public expense associated is significant. the third big issue which we will start dealing with over the next few days is going to be property damage as roofs start to collapse. is this apocalyptic for you? i think that once we get past the snow, probably for us, i would basically put it in a slightly different way. we have one of the most successful and most vibrant and most forward-looking knowledge-based economies anywhere in the world. if you're in one of those spaces and you can play in it and play successfully, the world is your oyster. if you're not, it is a cold place in massachusetts these days. one of our challenges not just in massachusetts but elsewhere and it gets back to your question, why did the numbers look so good to so many people it is an anxious time for the better part of 4-5 years. they are running fast and working hard. they're having a hard time seeing where progress is going to come from. primarily because the price of food and housing, the price of energy, the price of health care. that one i do believe is tied directly to education and bills. -- skills. we have got to figure out a way to do a better job. >> what are you going to do at the end of the school year with all of these days out for kids? are you going to have them make that up? when you think of americans kids versus chinese kids, we are sending our kids to school at much lower -- the volume of days. they are being educated more in china. the snow is one portion of this subject, but this is a touchy because schools have been closed for so long. right? >> generally speaking, the performance of most kids in massachusetts, it is most, which brings me to another subject, on most national and international exams it is quite good. we can compete with pretty much anybody at the middle and upper end. our problem, and it is a problem we better fix, achievement gap which is an opportunity gap between the school systems and the school districts in the schools that are performing, and those that aren't as profound. that is something i really believe we had better focus on because in the long run if you don't get a great high school education and beyond, your chances in this world in this economy are going to be severely limited. >> absolutely. it just builds on each other as you get further into school. high school, college. governor wolf, the biggest economic challenge for pennsylvania? >> i agree with education. we have to build up the infrastructure and make sure the economy can function. i think the biggest problem in sylvania is low self-esteem. i think one of the things the governor -- that is not a laugh line. >> you have to explain this to us. low self-esteem is your biggest economic problem, why? >> i'm not saying this is a matter of confidence. i think one of the things that a good leader does, and as governors, we have the opportunity to do this and tout our potential and make sure we are not wasting away in part because we are not as good as we are. pennsylvania is one of the underachieving states that can do better with the resources we have. one of the responsibilities of leadership is to address not only the structural issues, but also the psychological issues to keep us and hold us back. so, low self-esteem is a big problem. >> that requires leadership in terms of making sure people have optimism and hope that they can get a better life. >> especially in pennsylvania. yes. >> governor harper? >> the biggest challenge facing utah is the challenge we have had, growing economy. how do we keep it growing in a fast-growing state? we are one of the third or fourth fastest-growing states. the need to have economic expansion continues. i take a page out of president bill clinton's book, where he said it is the economy, stupid. it really is. the number one focus of all of us. we know we cannot have long-term sustained economic growth unless we have a skilled labor force. it goes back to education and beyond high school diplomas, and into post high school needs. there needs to be better alignment with what the skills we are teaching in schools, and the demands of the marketplace are. you asked the question earlier about his responsibility is it to make sure that young people get a good education? is it public or private? governor hickenlooper talked about the fact that it is a collaboration. part of that equation which we tiptoe around is it is the parents and guardians responsibility that their children get a good education. that is a component we overlook. we have too many parents in utah drop their children off at kindergarten, pick them up at high school graduation and a how was it? they need to be more involved to make sure they are getting their assignments done, that they are learning in school. that is an aspect we need to talk about to make sure the parent-teacher conferences are being held and people are working together with how they will excel in the classroom. the challenge from me is to have great success. how can i continue to make sure that happens is going to require a skilled labor force. >> what is an appropriate level? >> excuse me. >> what is an appropriate growth level? >> our gdp has grown 4.1%. twice the national average. our population is under 2% growth. we have a high birth rate. we are a young birth rate. i have a lot of kids in school. plus people are now moving to utah for great quality of life and economic opportunity. it is a conundrum as far as how do you accommodate that and still grow and have that expand? >> in parts of colorado and parts of the country, it is confidence. people don't believe. it is not just their self-esteem but a big part of job creation is entrepreneurship. entrepreneurs generally put technology and health care aside, a lot of times a guy working for us and that accompany this one of the better workers there. he wants to start his own business. he thinks he can do a negotiated better contract, manage his workers better. if he doesn't feel the community supports him taking that risk, if he thinks there is too much red tape, if she feels there is not enough space for her entrepreneurial activities and then they won't do it. over the last several years we have seen that. the number of startups have gone down significantly. you can tie it to a number of things. all of us reducing red tape haven't done a good enough job of showing how supportive we are of entrepreneurs. the media is constant bombarding people with this negative impression of how this is broken, or that is broken. we go through these campaigns where the level of negative advertising is beyond what anyone could have imagined 20 years ago. people don't believe anymore. that is having a direct effect on our entrepreneurship. colorado is growing. we have tons of startups. we do believe. we have a funny way of infrastructure. we move rapidly and the planning that has gone on is not going to be sufficient. even if we had it we are too far behind. it is good policy to have. traffic jams, congestion, we are one of work on this together. it is better than having empty streets. i think that sense of confidence is that this is going to be the key for the overall country. people forget governor clinton before he was president talked about the economy stupid. our recession started in 1984. my company got sold and i got laid off in 86. he was running for president in 92. that recovery had some dips. these recoveries are difficult processes. part of that is getting accelerated have people believe to get confidence. >> i agree. the media plays an important part in terms of ensuring people understand the facts and what is going on. one of the reasons that people have not been feeling it is because their wages haven't moved. you have an environment where unemployment, they are not getting better but the average guy or gal has not seen a change in their salaries. >> absolutely. we just open shake shack. >> usually successful deal. >> he was describing wages in the kitchen. the wait staff, the price of the menu goes up. they have gone up 250% less 25 years. wages have gone up a fraction. i think that pressure, you see that in every industry. >> that is true. >> the segue from that is why is that? there are two big reasons. businesses have more choices than they have ever before about where to locate and where to expand, and where to hire. >> and who to hire. >> we have to come to grips with the fact that we are not entitled to a job tomorrow just because the employer was in our state yesterday. this is not just a battle amongst us as governors. the battle is with employers around the globe. that is number one. number two, that are profound implications. we carry these computers in our pockets. the positive aspects of that increases productivity, more wealth and opportunity. i'm sure we all have employers in our states who are producing twice as much as they produced 10 years ago employing half as many people. this revolution has big implications for the nature of what is the role of people in producing things. i think particularly given the fact that there are more choices than ever before, we need to understand what it is that they care most about when they are making that decision about where to invest and hire. then we have to act on it. to me, the biggest take away of all this is what everyone has talked about. it has to do with workforce and skills. the $28 billion overseas, i think it is not just about tax policy. even if the tax policy was equal they are going to have lots of great choices about where they can get a great workforce. we need to make sure every single day we are getting better because we know other countries are investing heavily in that. >> you make a great point. this issue is only going to get worse. right now as we sit here they are doing prostate cancer surgery robotically. they are doing health care checks of our bodies. we have sensors all over the place. machines talking to machines. that will mean fewer jobs. is everybody ready for that? obviously not. we don't have the skill sets. >> at the same time these technologies will create new jobs, the kind of jealous we never thought about before. >> absolutely. biggest economic challenge you are facing? >> the honest answer is the one we don't know. who would have envisioned a down term the likes of the great recession a few years before it took place i would say there are challenges that we currently know that we are ignoring. climate change, although we did talk about massachusetts or boston's issue with snow, climate change is a gigantic challenge. my states on the eastern seaboard, maybe not in my lifetime that i hope and the lifetime of my children, i hope they get to the point where they will be as challenged by that as by seawater rising and the implications of greater disparity and whether. i think that is a gigantic problem. transportation infrastructure presents a global disadvantage. i think we have to address that. we go back to how we going to fund how we address that. income disparity and what we do or don't do about that, the story about the chef not makin

winter storm warnings in pennsylvania new york, new jersey and across new england. up to a foot or more of snow forecast in boston where they declared a snow emergency once again. schools were closed and officials urged residents to use public transportation if they had to go out. >> we want to make sure that the entire city's up and running tomorrow so we are out there with plows today. we are asking people if you can, stay off the roads. >> reporter: south of boston a woman died after being struck by a snow plow. the norfolk county district attorney's office tells cnn the victim was hit in this parking lot monday morning by a snow plow operator. an investigation is under way. there was a travel ban during last week's storm but not this time, and visibility is an issue. >> maybe a mile or so of visibility but definitely coming down, definitely keep the windshield wipers going. >> reporter: what's scaring you now? >> can't really see the road right now. everything is all like blurry. >> reporter: some drivers who ventured out had problems. >> to avoid the collision,
